Reflecting on My Third Month on Medium: A Journey of Growth
Written on
Chapter 1: The Journey So Far
Happy third month!
It’s hard to believe that my third month on Medium has flown by so quickly. Time certainly has a way of slipping through our fingers, doesn’t it? This month has been a whirlwind of highs, lows, and everything in between.
Initially, I hesitated to share my experiences from this month. The statistics weren’t as exhilarating as I had anticipated, and admitting when things don’t go according to plan is never easy. However, I decided to embrace the imperfections of this journey, recognizing that every path has its challenges. So, let’s delve into the details!
First, let's discuss earnings. This month, I earned $67.43 from my Medium articles. While it’s a decent amount, it’s certainly less than what I achieved last month. Disappointing? A little, but such is life. With work commitments, wedding planning, and some travel mixed in, I’ve struggled to produce articles at the same pace as before. Sometimes, life simply takes precedence.
Additionally, my engagement levels have dipped. I haven’t been as active in reading and interacting with fellow writers, nor have I promoted my articles as much on social media. It feels like I’ve stepped back from the community, and the figures reflect that.
Despite these challenges, I gained 256 new followers this month, bringing my total to 1,840. I also welcomed 6 new subscribers, totaling 26. Although these numbers are lower than in previous months, it’s still heartening to see my audience expand, even if just a little. A huge thank you to every one of my followers and subscribers!
Amidst the ups and downs, there were bright spots — my three standout articles of the month:
- I Was Love Bombed
- You Have A Girlfriend, Don't Talk To Me
- I Disappeared For 4 Days: Here's Where I Went
As I look ahead to April, I’m determined to regain my momentum. I plan to carve out time each day to brainstorm ideas, write articles, and reconnect with the Medium community. Whether through sharing personal narratives, offering advice, or experimenting with different writing styles, I'm eager to see where this next month leads.
So, while my third month on Medium has been a bit of a rollercoaster, I refuse to let it bring me down. Life is all about balance, after all.
I also want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful writers and readers on Medium. Your support, feedback, and encouragement have been invaluable to me. Every thoughtful comment, clap, or moment spent reading my work has been deeply appreciated. It’s this engagement that makes the Medium community so unique, and I’m incredibly thankful to be a part of it.
