🛑 I’ve Made a Big Decision About Medium
It’s time for things to change
It’s important sometimes to reassess things, to stand back and ask yourself some questions:
- Why am I doing what I’m doing?
- What do I hope to get out of this?
- Is this giving me what I want?
- Is this the best use of my limited time alive?
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and here are my answers.
Why I joined Medium in July 2021
In the summer of 2021, I was desperately looking for ways to make money. I’ll be honest with you. When I first joined Medium, I was trying to abuse it in a spammy way.
I had seen several videos saying how you could earn affiliate income with a combination of Pinterest and Medium. The idea was to write some Medium articles containing affiliate links and then create loads of Pinterest pins linking to those articles.
It didn’t work, so I quickly abandoned that idea.
But then I realised it was possible to earn money just by writing articles for Medium. So I decided to try that instead, and I enjoyed it.
