I'm happy to see you getting views again! I would be interested to see if it lasts for you, or if it's a one-off hit. Keep us posted on your future articles.
I 100% agree with you about Substack. I think it's much harder to make money with than people let on. The top earners were all here early and a lot of them are political journalists. You really have to be on top of providing value consistently to get people to pay.
With that said, I have paid for 4 Substacks so far. lol
I would love to know your process for coming up with ideas and then sitting down to write them. You come up with great articles that obviously get attention.
I agree that no one should write all of the time about Medium, but it looks like earnings for all topics are earning roughly the same unless someone gets boosted. The biggest problem with Medium is distribution.
I can see the stats of a lot of articles in different publications and most people struggle to get even 15-20 reads. These articles are about a variety of topics and some are really good, but it seems like those articles are just available to their followers for 6-8 hours before they drop off into the void.
After the changes at Medium, would you recommend not commenting on other writer's articles and not responding when someone posts a comment on your content?
I would like to hear other people's thoughts on the ratio of readers to writers on Medium. I don't think it's 50 to 1 like Tony says.
Medium for me is completely dead. Working on developing a Substack.
Medium is completely resurrected for me.
Interesting to see you're having the same experience James. My earnings have doubled this month. I'm on course to hit $1800. Which is crazy

I have a couple member posts planned on this very thing!
I have another one published today that again seems to be acting normal but I will for sure report back

This was happening to me too but I finally have one taking off … I’ll report back if it’s consistent
I am delighted that Medium is picking up for you. You have put a lot of effort into it.
Thank you my friend, I hope it does for everyone who publishes good work.

Inaccurate. I've heard many complain about low earnings and they write nothing to do with Medium at all.
Having said that, no doubt, they aren't a fan of Meta content.
