How many stories can make you $1,000 on Medium šŸ’°

Thatā€™s the most popular question I hear from Medium writers.

Hi there,

This is the 7th edition of the ā€œLetā€™s Write on Mediumā€ newsletter.

If you missed the previous newsletters, you can find them here.

Now, let me share todayā€™s topic: making $$$$ on Medium.

ā€œHow many articles should I write to make 4 figures on Medium every month?ā€šŸ¤” Thatā€™s the most popular question I hear from Medium writers.

They usually donā€™t ask what works on Medium.

Instead, the majority thinks Medium is a numbers game.

I agree that publishing more can help you make more money. For months, I forced myself to publish a new article every two days.

I spent hours writing and publishing content on Medium to only make roughly $200.

I quickly realized this approach isnā€™t scalable.

Moreover, it can drain all your energy.

Top writers must do something else to make four figures regardless of the Medium updates.

When I realized what didnā€™t work on Medium, I chose another approach - publishing less.

Surprisingly, this approach helped me focus on quality, publish less, and make 4 figures on Medium.

Below, Iā€™m sharing my exclusive Medium stats from July 2023.

I published 7 Medium stories, which earned me $1,025.75, which is roughly $146,53 per article.

Some writers make that much from one story.

However, everyoneā€™s journey is unique.

Someoneā€™s success and setbacks shouldnā€™t impact your mood and Medium progress in any way.

Itā€™s worth noting that Medium introduced Boosts in February 2023 and changed the way how Medium writers make money. Some strategies that worked well for me a year ago are no longer working.

Today, 3-4 boosted stories generate roughly $200+ each, which results in $1,000+ per month.

How much do you make per Medium story on average? šŸ¤”
