Money Matters
My Medium Earnings From October 2019 to January 31st 2024
This is a story of honesty and how much money a person like me is likely to get
Let’s make this as clear as the daytime sun right now. If I were to tell you how much money I’d made on this platform since day one, you’d jump my throat and want a refund. Unfortunately, the owners of this platform, A Medium Company, are not in the business of refunding people.
Instead of talking right off the bat about how much cash I’ve earned for a little over four-and-a-quarter years, I’ll give it to you piece by piece. My income from Medium is well less than minimum wage in Washington State, anyway. Maybe it’s just as well.
So… let’s start with the date of October 22nd, 2019. That’s when I started posting on this platform. I wrote two pieces on the same day, one for this section of the platform, and the other for my first publication.
The first piece did not earn me any cash… well, it wasn’t like I knew any better. I didn’t know about the Medium Partner Program (called MPP from here on out) back then, nor did I realize how it would help me out. I was a guy who didn’t have any leeway to get paid for my writing then. What I mean is, that I was going to school four days a week in Edmonds…
