# Reflections on 30 Medium Articles: Insights, Earnings, and Growth
Written on
Chapter 1: My Writing Journey Begins
I never imagined reaching this milestone—30 articles published! My writing journey started as a simple hobby on Quora, where I responded to various questions. However, after listening to an insightful podcast featuring Ali Abdaal and Nicolas Cole, I realized I could actually earn money while pursuing my passion for writing.
Section 1.1: Early Expectations
Initially, I had no expectations of earning any income; the thought seemed nearly impossible. Yet, just a week into writing, I made my first dollar. This small victory reignited my motivation, prompting me to commit to writing daily. Trust me, every effort has been well worth it.
#### Subsection 1.1.1: My Earnings Overview
Here’s what I earned after completing my first 30 articles:
Section 1.2: Key Lessons Learned
Through this writing experience, I’ve gathered several valuable lessons:
The 80/20 Principle in Writing
The 80/20 rule highlights that 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. This has been true for my earnings, as most of my income has come from just six articles. So, if one of your posts doesn’t earn anything, don’t be discouraged.
Consistency is Key
Observing my views, I noticed a significant increase when I began publishing daily. While daily writing may not be for everyone, regularity is crucial. I don’t pressure myself to write every single day; I simply ensure that I get back to it when I can.
Engaging with the Medium Community
I once believed that simply producing high-quality content would suffice to attract readers. However, I’ve learned that interaction within the Medium community is equally important. Engaging with other writers not only boosts your visibility but also offers a wealth of knowledge to enhance your writing skills.
