I Earned $185.92 on Medium the First Day of November
You Too Can Make Good Money By Following a Few Tips
I hate saying this, but it’s very much true. There are far too many people pissing and moaning about Medium. Especially the ones who know better. The people who once had a solid side hustle earning money for their writing on a platform they don’t own.
When you have no ownership stake in an online platform, you have no say in how they run their shit. Sadly, they can do unfair things that puts more money in their pockets and takes it from their writing talent. I get it, that notion can be pretty damn depressing.
But you have to be realistic. Why in God’s name would you expect the house to stack the odds in favor of the players? Like casinos, Medium exists to make a profit. As much as possible, in fact. They are not looking out for your financial well-being.
So you have a choice: You can either choose to get angry, frustrated, and sad, or you can get motivated and make Medium your bitch. There are ways to be doing things better and more effectively, if you stop writing articles blasting Medium and complaining to other writers who will echo your sad, fed-up stance.
