How much can you make on Medium? (or, how much I didn’t make with 200K+ views)
I started writing on Medium in 2017, but only recently joined the partner program. My most popular post (link below) has accumulated 210K views and 95 hours of member reading time. Awesome. In total, I have earned $3.33 from it. Not so awesome. This is because I published the article in late 2017 but only joined the partner program in April 2021.
Now, I don’t write on Medium to make a lot of money. I enjoy writing and thinking about ways to explain data science and machine learning concepts clearly. Medium is a really nice way to reach an audience for this material and getting some additional coffee money is a bonus. But, naturally I began to wonder how much I would have earned for that article if I had joined the partner program earlier. Being a curious data scientist, I had to dive in.
