As a writer, there is nothing more satisfying than being able to earn a living doing what you love.

As Medium writer, I can attest that the platform has made this dream a reality for many of us.

In fact, my first-ever Medium article earned me over $1,243 , and in this article, I’ll explain in very simple terms how I did it.

#1: Provide Unique Insights and Fresh Perspective

Firstly, I would like to share that the idea for my article was inspired by a personal experience.

I had recently gone through a difficult period, and I found that writing about my experience helped me to process my emotions.

I knew that many others had gone through similar experiences, so I decided to share my story on Medium.

#2: Incorporate Research and Multimedia for Engagement

Before writing the article, I researched the topic thoroughly and tried to incorporate as much of my own personal experience as possible.
