I’m Sinem Günel and I started at the exact same point where you are right now: zero followers, zero views and a lame first payment summary.
I published 9 stories to make a total of $17,65 back in 2018, not a great hourly rate, I know. But I kept going. I read hundreds of “How to get successful on Medium” posts, and even though they inspired me, none of them delivered actionable advice and noteworthy results. So I spent writing more than 200 articles for almost zero return for 1.5 years. In short: My writing experience was frustrating and didn’t pay off at all.
I wrote more awful than great pieces until I found out what truly matters. Editors as well as readers are always looking for the same characteristics in good stories and I put a lot of effort into understanding which these are.
I invested hundreds of hours analyzing the best performing blog posts, connecting with like-minded, successful writers, finding out how Medium works and how to write articles that inspire readers. However, in the end, it definitely paid off.
