Medium is probably the best way you can start your side hustle as a writer in the public domain.

Building a website from scratch using WordPress, Webflow or any tool will take a lot of your time, research, trials, and patience. But on Medium write and publish, it is just that simple.

You only need to focus on your piece, title, and a good thumbnail.

I started my journey 2 years back and I can say I have managed to earn a decent amount of money as I am not a regular or a full-time writer. I write sometimes and publish 30–40 articles a year.

As said in my title, I have earned my first $1000 from 7 articles and they collectively gained over 50k views.

I have many friends writing amazing articles on Medium but they earn pennies and people writing just templated earnings and mostly fake earning articles with templated same…
