Embarking on a Monetization Journey
Less than a week ago, I took a decisive step in my blogging journey by opting for a Medium membership. Before this transition, I was a casual blogger on the platform, sharing my thoughts without the ‘member’ tag attached to my profile. As the years rolled by, I noticed a transformation in the content landscape of Medium. The platform started to brim with tantalizing, insightful, and valuable content, sprinkled generously with practical tips for readers like me.
Hitting the Subscription Button
As a non-member, my access to these treasure troves of information was restricted, limited to only a few full articles per month. The tantalizing urge to delve deeper into this reservoir of knowledge finally nudged me to hit the subscribe button. And so, a week ago, I found myself armed with a Medium membership and unlimited access to the wisdom shared by fellow members.
Engage and Earn: My Early Observations
In the days that followed, I immersed myself in the universe of member-generated content, actively reading, and engaging with the pieces that resonated with me. My comments section started buzzing, reflecting my thoughts and initiating conversations with the authors. This active engagement inadvertently acted as a beacon, drawing more readers towards my blog.
Then came the cherry on top: earnings from Medium’s Partner Program started trickling into my account. While the amount was modest, to say the least, it marked a significant milestone in my blogging adventure.
Daily Dose of Startup Chronicles
Motivated by this initial success, I am now committed to sharing daily insights from my journey as a startup founder. The road traversed by founders is nothing short of a roller-coaster ride, featuring an intriguing mix of highs and lows, victories and challenges, learning and unlearning. Through my blog, I aim to offer you a front-row seat to this exhilarating journey, with the hope that my stories will not only engage you but also offer valuable lessons and insights.
Inviting You to Join My Journey
The initial earnings may be small, but they symbolize a big leap towards my goal of making my blogging endeavor sustainable, at least enough to cover the cost of my Medium membership ($5 a month). With each day and every new post, I am moving closer to this goal, fueled by my experiences and your engagement.
So, keep those comments coming! Engage with my posts, share your thoughts, and let’s keep the conversation going. Together, we can create a space that is not just informative and valuable but also supportive and engaging. Looking forward to having you with me on this exciting journey!
