My Article Hit 100 Reads: Here’s What I EARNED and LEARNED

Here’s my first Medium milestone moment.

My story statistics from October 1 to October 25, 2024.

If you’re here solely to find out how much I earned after hitting 100+ reads on an article, you’ll find the answer at the bottom.I’ve structured it this way to first share some insights and lessons I’ve gained while writing on Medium, especially as this is the first time one of my articles has reached this milestone. None of my other stories have yet achieved this.Here’s the link to the article I’m referring to:

If the West Loses Global Leadership, This Will Be the Reason

Thoughts

Honestly, I never expected this article to reach such a milestone. I’ve published 13 articles so far, and none of them even came close to a quarter of 100 reads. Most of my articles seem to get a brief flurry of attention on the first day, only to fizzle out quickly and barely see any further views.Some of my articles are over two years old and still sit below 10 reads. It’s been very disheartening, but maybe that’s just how the Medium algorithm works.
