My NewsBreak Earnings Were 5x My Medium Earnings in October
Just like in September
The joy of writing is certainly not in the piles of money one makes from expressing their thoughts.
However, many writers do seek to earn some money from the time invested in their writing.
And, we should. Writers invest time and energy in crafting stories — and to the extent those stories convey a message and help others, compensation is warranted.
Writing IS work.
A sentiment I expressed in a piece about embracing the life I have and pushing toward my dreams.
When I first began writing on Medium, I was attracted to the partner program. I saw it as a chance to both experiment with writing AND earn some cash.
Over time, the earnings part has materialized — though it is certainly not a lot of money. Still, it more than pays for my Medium membership and gives me some extra money to spend on coffee/snacks throughout the month.
