Headline Numbers

Let’s start with the headline numbers and then If you wish to dive deeper into how I got those numbers, read on!

May Income: A 60.7% Increase over April

Income Per Read: 12.5c per read, increasing from 7.9c per read.

Medium Income.

Over the recent months, my income has been pretty stagnant, so, In May, I decided to do something about it.

I committed to spending time each day engaging with other members, that’s it, that’s the not so secret sauce.

I replied to as many comments as possible on my articles, I read articles that my followers and commenters posted and tried to comment if I felt I could add value to the conversation.

To summarise I became an active member of Medium and my income grew… who’d have thought!

The number of reads were only up slightly but the amount per read jumped significantly.

From 7.9c per read in April to 12.5c in May
