I Wrote on Medium Every Single Day For a Year And Here’s Everything I’ve Learned

Ever since month ten, curation rate has more than quadrupled. How?

• PRACTICE

Even during those months where there's little to no curation, keep churning out articles.

That added compound interest put in over those nine months.

I understand that it can be crucial for increasing your earnings. But I sing a different tune. My biggest article that made me over seven hundred bucks and counting was not curated.

Here’s some actionable advice — don’t look at your curation rate!

Remember why you write and leave the curation up to the curators.

Not only did I get in the hundred dollars club again, I almost reached the four-figures club. Medium decided to grace the top 1,000 writers who received the most engagement in April a five-hundred-dollar bonus for their hard work. I was one of them.

I’m not bullshitting you when I say I write and publish new articles every single day. Heck, sometimes I publish twice a day. Saying I wrote 365 articles in 365 days is an understatement.

You can’t make any excuses not to publish. If you want to succeed on this platform, you need to treat writing like a job instead of a hobby. Consistency is key.
