Things about to change in 2024.

Beginning of the Journey – 2024

In the world of digital writing, my exploration commenced in 2016, turning ideas into blog posts.

The pure joy of expression was all I sought until an endeavor led me to bundle some posts into an eBook.

Transition to Monetization:

The real game-changer unfolded in September 2023 when I embraced the Medium Partner Program (MPP).

This transition wasn’t just about making money, but aligning my love for writing with a sustainable model.

The question, “Why not turn a hobby into an income source?” steered me towards Medium, a haven where quality content finds its value.

The stories of others earning through writing, were the breezes that fueled my sails.

The first month with MPP marked a tiny victory – it paid for its own monthly subscription.

Eyeing 2024 with Clear Goals:

As I cast my eyes towards 2024, I’ve mapped out clear goals.

The plan is straightforward: write almost every day and aim to rally 300 new followers each month.

The anticipation is to create a ripple with my words across the online realm, fostering more engagement and, hopefully, a steady flow of income.

Medium: A Platform and a Mentor:

To me, Medium transcends a mere platform – it’s a realm of learning.

The wisdom shared by fellow writers shines as guiding stars in my voyage.

Every article I devour, every piece of feedback I receive, sharpens my writing blade. The goal might not echo grandiosity, but it resonates with ambition and a zest for learning.

2024: Merging Passion with Earning:

The dawn of 2024 isn’t just a flip of the calendar; it’s a chapter where I yearn to intertwine the joy of writing with the thrill of earning.

It’s about unveiling the inherent value in my passion for writing and sharing this treasure with a broader audience.

Braving the Digital Seas:

The realm of online writing may pose as a labyrinth, but armed with a clear blueprint, a resolute heart, and the camaraderie from my Medium comrades, the excitement for the journey ahead burgeons.

It’s a narrative of growth, both personal and financial, one article at a time.

This tale isn’t about merely dreaming, but about the audacity to morph those dreams into reality, one word at a time.
