I can’t remember exactly when I joined the Medium Partner Program. I only know that my income from the Medium Partner Program is far from expectations. The dollars I make are not enough to pay for a cup of coffee.

I had high hopes when I joined the Medium Partner Program, namely how to make a lot of money on this blogging platform. You see, many Medium partners share their experiences of making thousands of dollars every month from writing stories on Medium.

Who wouldn’t be interested, right? Only by writing stories, we have been able to make hundreds of dollars. However, making money on Medium is not as easy as we thought. I have proven that myself for about a year as a Medium partner.

Yes, after being a Medium partner for more than a year, my earnings haven’t reached $5 yet. Even worse, in a month I couldn’t get $1. Every month my income is $0 more. As a result, I did not dare to open the partner’s earnings dashboard page.

Some say, to earn money on Medium, we have to write dozens of articles every month. I carry out this suggestion. However, my income remains nil. Not moving up. I’m at my wits end.

Sometimes I think, is my writing not interesting, the story is not good, or because my English is not good? For the last few posts I’ve posted on Medium, I’ve carefully examined the sentence structure. However, the result is still $0.

This makes me less enthusiastic about posting new posts. I even thought about giving up and leaving the Medium Partner Program. But, I refused. Because to rejoin the Medium Partner Program is not easy. I chose to survive while improving my writing skills. Who knows later my activities on Medium can make money.

Thanks for reading. []
