Previously, I had never reached 1,000 reads in a month, nor had I ever accumulated that many reads on a single piece of writing over time. It was quite a shock to hit this milestone last month, especially since the method I used was out of my usual routine. Given the results, I may continue this practice in the future.
I've consumed numerous YouTube videos and articles analyzing what garners attention on Medium. The popular categories tend to be: Science, Wellness, Programming, Money, and Medium Success.
However, the article that led to my recent success doesn’t neatly fit into these categories, although it could be loosely associated with science. In reality, it belongs to the realm of trending news.
The Story Behind My Success
This piece is my most-read article to date, with 488 views and a 53% read ratio, yet it only generated $3.21. Remarkably, just two days post-publication, I made about $20 in one day and repeated that feat shortly thereafter. Even though this particular story didn’t yield high earnings, it effectively directed readers to my other articles.
The article gained significant traction on Facebook, largely due to the prevalence of misinformation circulating there. Many Medium YouTubers have pointed out that readers arriving from external links (like Facebook) typically generate less revenue than those coming from internal sources. This suggests that many who clicked through became members, subsequently exploring my other stories on Medium. This internally sourced engagement is likely what spurred my earnings, despite this story being the one with the highest view count. But that’s merely a theory… a Medium theory.
