Happy Medium anniversary to me!

A year ago, I signed up for Medium with a dream of making it big in the world of freelance writing.

A year later, I’m still intrigued by the potential of Medium and its power to share ideas with the world.

No, I do not have my fancy yacht, new computer or trip to Paris based on my Medium earnings.

Nor do I have crazy stats or money bragging rights. Over the past year, I have made 84.26 on Medium.

84.26 dollars isn’t bad when considering how inconsistent I am with posting content on this platform.

Here are two lessons I take with me after reflecting on my year engaging with Medium, along with some goals for the upcoming year.

Everyone Loves Talking About Medium
