Another $500 Bonus To Round Up A Whirlwind Summer From Medium
All round gratitude and a note of warning to the established players.
A few nights ago, I checked my medium partner earnings and lo and behold, I saw the notification that I had earned the final $500 one-off payments for the month of July.
How can this be, given that 99% of my articles are self-published and my curation rate comes in at 60–70% monthly?
How does it make any sense, when you can easily spot the misplaced commas, the malapropisms and a few grammatical errors in my articles?
It would seem that I owe whatever success that I may have had here to highly sympathetic readers, who are prepared to indulge and overlook my glaring errors (refusal to use grammarly) and give me the benefit of the doubt every time.
And to every one who has read my articles and taken the time to agree and disagree; to excoriate or to praise; to curse or to comment; I say a very big thank you. I am profoundly grateful.
Having said that, I think that It is a bit embarrassing having to write articles about receiving $500 from Medium, when there are a number of people who seem to have fully colonized this space and write with confidence about making close to $10,000 monthly.
