It’s never enough, really — Tale as old as time. Truly. After a brief hiatus from the coveted ManyStories Top Ten, my sharing is back. Don’t call it a comeback! As the email above notes, I was named the 2nd “Top Writer” this past week on the content-sharing platform. A Featured Fire On the magic of ManyStoriesadvocateandy.medium.com As a writer on Medium (and…

Good news, bad news — Writing is what I do. It’s what I do in my “day” job for clients who need content — for blogs, media pieces, reports, etc. It’s what I do in the classes I teach — I write prompts and assignments and critiques and feedback. And it is what I do…

Plus, DRAGONS! — Turns out, watering a house CAN help cool it down. I always thought my mom was just crazy and told us to water the house so she could have time alone. That story was my top-earner in September: I Was Sent Outside to Water the House And soon discovered I’d been locked out for the daymedium.com Then, of course, a post about posts that earn on Medium came…

Will this change with the new Medium payment model? — I’ve been writing seriously here on Medium since 2021. Since then, I’ve also added writing on Substack and NewsBreak to my portfolio.

Writing is fun, and earning from your writing is fun, too — This picture of some cows running is a lot like my NewsBreak earnings from June — unexpected and fun. I like writing here at Medium because you can write about any topic and find some readers. You can earn some money, too. But my Medium experience has been that the…

NewsBreak is a great place for writers to earn from their work — I’ve been writing at NewsBreak for about a year now and regularly updating how the experience there is going. On the Benefits of Writing at NewsBreak The ad-based news site helps writers earn from their wordsadvocateandy.medium.com While I have typically seen NewsBreak be 5 or 6 times my Medium earnings, this past month, that number was 15x.

A trend continues — and I’m NOT complaining — I like to write. I like to earn money from my writing. Both of those things are ok. In fact, creators should be paid for their creations. Sometimes, though, my favorite writing — my favorite creations — are not the most remunerative. That’s ok. The money I earn from writing…

This just keeps happening — I’ll keep this one pretty short. I’ve been writing on Medium for about two years now and on NewsBreak for just over a year. Once I got approved for NewsBreak’s contributor platform, I’ve been consistently earning much more there than on Medium. Yes, there are many benefits to writing on…

That’s because I had a really solid Medium month — I’ve been writing on NewsBreak for over a year now and I’ve found the site to be a reliable source of monthly income. No, I’m not paying my mortgage with my NewsBreak earnings, but I am earning a decent side income that definitely makes my financial life more comfortable. Typically…
