Thing is, my brother, you are basing it on your own stats.

But I hear from a LOT of people there has been little change.

I'm glad for you, you are a talented writer, and a nice guy.

The problem is, if most are making next to nothing why would they stay?

Those who write anyway.

Readers will, of course.

I have not seen any changes yet either. Maybe it's coming in waves. What do you think?

Maybe ... my theory has been working for me, hoping to get more feedback today to confirm it's working for others

Medium is back in action. I am getting $39 per 1000 reads. Not bad at all

I'm so happy your earnings are rebounding on Medium, James! Mine jumped $50 overnight, mostly due to one article. The thing is, my newer articles are all still very low.

But...my earnings last month were $182.13 total. And I'm up to $266.09 so far for January. So I'm feeling much more hopeful!

I still need to test the theory you made in your last post.

Thanks for all the info, James. I'm ADD with some other flavors added in so appreciate the admission and the effort. Note, I went to the Amazon link and I see a black photo with white dashes across the top and no lettering where your book cover should be. Is that what you meant it to look like? Perhaps its a temporary glitch. Just wanted to let you know.

Happy for you!

How much of those earnings comes from old posts?

Yes, all new posts get killed off after 1 day now ... not even being distributed to my followers

It's great all your effort are not lost. Thanks for sharing.

Mine went from pennies to a penny, and have not recovered. I've little will to test the theory amidst algorithm fluctuations and continued spam bots.

Smart to include the vids for paid subs.

As for Medium videos not getting much traffic, sure, how many people search for Medium on YouTube?
