Unlocking the Potential: My Journey to Earning on Medium

Chapter 1: My Medium Experience
It's hard not to feel a sense of accomplishment when I look at my statistics on Medium.
Every time I reflect on my journey, it feels surreal. I began sharing my thoughts on this platform in late January, initially aiming to earn a few hundred euros monthly as a side project alongside my studies.
The internet now offers countless ways to generate income, whether through YouTube, dropshipping, affiliate marketing, or freelancing on platforms like Fiverr. Writing has always been a passion of mine, and I was encouraged by my teachers to explore my talent in this area. So, I decided to dive into Medium, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision.
In the early stages of my Medium journey, I found inspiration in the earnings reports shared by other writers. I hope that by sharing my own "success," I can motivate other newcomers to pursue their writing ambitions.

Nonetheless, I have some concerns regarding the ratio of reads to views. It seems that not everyone who clicks on my articles reads them thoroughly, and that's an area I need to improve. Additionally, I question the accuracy of the read counts. For instance, one of my stories reported 50 views with only 5 reads and an average reading time of one hour, which seems inconsistent given the average reading time should be closer to three minutes.
Section 1.2: Analyzing Earnings
So, what do these views translate to in terms of earnings?
In the first 23 days of June, I earned $3,563.11.
This averages out to approximately $155 for that period, which suggests an estimated total of $4,650 over 30 days. Thus, I can estimate that 1,000 views yield about $24 in earnings. However, this figure can vary significantly; longer articles tend to bring in more revenue due to longer reading times being more favorable.
