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.
Summary: My 2024 Action Plan:
- Engage in daily writing to hone skill and generate consistent content.
- Aim for a monthly follower growth of 300 on Medium to build a robust reader base.
- Immerse in the Medium community, learning from others to refine my writing and monetization strategies.
- Measure monthly earnings and engagement to track progress towards financial goals.
- Explore and experiment with different writing styles and topics to keep the content engaging and to attract a diverse readership.
- Continue the quest of blending passion with earning, one article, one follower, and one day at a time, steering through the digital waves towards a self-sustaining writing career.
