Stop Moaning About the Changes on Medium
I am not an expert by any stretch on Medium, but I’m seeing a lot of negativity about the recent changes. I get that trying to predict what will get you read and even better paid is pretty important, but honestly these changes seem better designed to maintain a higher standard of writing on this site.
I know Medium gives a lot of people a welcome added boost to their income, and I’m happy that it does, but nothing in the real world ever stays the same for too long, and Medium should be no exception.
It must be extremely disappointing for people to suddenly see their earnings nosedive, BUT, given that this is essentially a freelance gig, you need to be prepared for that. The key I suppose is learning to adapt, or at least, not have all your writing eggs in one basket that potentially could go on fire at any point.
If anything you could probably have been following the algorithm seamlessly for the last year or so and earning loads, but were you actually pushing yourself?
Were you writing your best life?
Or were you just writing the same low content crap over and over again.
Honestly I don’t want to hear about how you’re doing on Medium or what online jobs can make you money (that you’ve never tried).
