How Writing on the Internet Changed My Life and Can Change Yours
Tell your story… People want to listen.
Let me start by telling you my story.
I started writing in May 2020. I published my first article in August ’20. I don’t know what I was doing for those three months.
Maybe I thought that it wasn’t worth posting. Or maybe I feared that no one would read it.
But here’s the more foolish act — I published my article. Left it here. Didn’t check the stats. Didn’t do anything about it. And fast forward to October of that year, when I opened my stats page. I was raking in over 300 views per day on that single article.
300 views per day.
It was huge for me. For someone who only posted a single article in his entire lifetime. It was a different kind of high for me.
Soon enough, I wrote another article and got into the game of writing. I signed up for the Medium Partner Program and that made me my first few dollars on the Internet.
And my life has never been the same after that.
I unlocked a secret door in my mind. That people can make money online. By their writing. By putting their thoughts on the screen (I am an overthinker, so I know I have a lot of thoughts).
