Medium Income and Progress Report November 2020: $30.77
A breakdown of my humble November earnings and stats.
Some writers advise ignoring the stats completely for the first year. I’m curious to learn how my articles are performing. By writing this income report I also force myself to have a closer look at the stats and reflect on how it went.
In November I went through a serious writing dip. Instead of the planned 30 pieces, I only wrote 13. I put too much pressure on myself, which was counterproductive. That does not mean I’m lowering the bar. I still aim to publish one piece per day, whether I write daily, or lock myself in the house during the weekend to produce content for the entire week like Tim Denning. A new month, a new try.
Out of the 13 pieces, five got published in larger publications:
- Why You Should Document Your Life in Curious
- My bio in the unofficial Medium Writer Yearbook About Me Stories
- What Great Managers Do Differently in The Startup
- Why I Write So Openly About My Failures and How I Set Up My Writing Habit in The Innovation
I’m starting to notice that it really does make a difference to have your piece published in a larger home.
