I think Medium is more back to the pre-August '23 days.

I wasn't around then, but I am familiar with what the earnings were in general.

I was curious how you have been doing on Medium.

If anyone deserves success there, it is you, Christina. :D

I think April will be massive for you, as I'm aware others who are still doing well on Medium had a great start to it.

Thank you! Things are going well so far. :) Hopefully you can get back to finding success over there too.

Congratulations on the earnings with Medium, that’s impressive! Maybe articles that are slightly longer have a better chance of getting distributed. I know the two minute long articles disappear after a couple of days.

I’m not sure because I have other longer articles that don’t do anything. I have no idea what the secret formula is. I wish I did!

There is none.

It's just becuase it's you. :)

No, I don't think so. Most people reading my stuff have no idea who I am. (And that's probably a good thing for them. 🤣)

I meant, you are special, so they don't know why, but they gravitate towards it. :)

Thank you, but I'm not special at all. I'm just writing about things lately that resonate with more people.

Nicely done Christina. It’s good to see your earnings on Medium continue to be strong.

I don’t publish as often but I can’t complain on the earnings either.

They adjusted things but looks like things have calmed down I guess.

Take the good with bad and though would be great to have higher incomes outside Medium, at least you have that big source of income. Eventually you will come up with other big sources of income

Your earnings on Medium are excellent considering their new earnings calculations. And your distribution there, too. 👍👏👏👏

My mortgage story keeps bumping along nicely. I made over $185 in March / Lifetime total just topped $2285. Every other story there is still less than $1 total. So I’m quite happy to spend my time here. I’m also helping a couple of Medium writers get up and writing here. My plate is full, needless to say. 😊

I love that your mortgage story is the gift that keeps on giving…! And I’m happy you’re enjoying your time on Substack, too. :)

I also have some ebooks on gumroad. How would you promote your book there? Interested to know.

Christina Piccoli's avatar

I promote them here on Substack in my newsletters and on Medium. I haven’t been doing a great job of that lately though. Oops! :)

I’m definitely still struggling on Medium though, to be fair, I’ve cut back on how often I publish there. I simply don’t have time to do more right now.

But I’m happy to know you and a few others are still seeing positive results! I’m not ready to give up on Medium for good— just waiting to see what happens I guess

I think Medium will continue to adjust and change and it’ll always be a little bit of a mystery. But I like it. haha

Wow, you’re doing great. Is medium cracking down on the how to and listicle articles ?

So, it looks like I need to write “How to” stuff to make money. I’m making 1 dollar a month on medium, nothing here or on KDP. The market is saturated with fiction and personal essays so it makes sense many of those people will want to know how to monetize. Good for you and your side hustles. You’re accomplishing the great American dream 😊

Thanks so much!

They’re cracking down on Medium meta articles. You can still write about Medium, but they can’t be paywalled.
