I’m wondering if it’s financially worth it to cover the $5/mo membership.
I post Medium articles fairly regularly, and each email update shows I get ~500 reads total.
Is that enough to cover the $5/mo? Would it be a wise financial risk?
Are people willing to share their readership and total MMR?
Edit: shouldn’t have shared my financial situation; was interested in data/advice only.
Unless you’re writing some insanely great shit about a ridiculously popular topic or you majorly luck out somehow, it stands no chance of getting huge. It’s like sports stars. For every one of those there’s tens or hundreds of thousands that nobody will ever hear about.
Or maybe I just suck and I’m bitter lol. My website was doing like 11k visits a month, max, at one point. I think I got like 2 checks from Google in five years. Enough for two fancy date nite dinners.
Nope, that’s about standard or even better than most, unless you’re doing it full-time.
