$1100 with 15 minutes of work(blogging) - VouchPotato™ - May 3, 2018
So, I wrote a blog post on medium.com after applying for the partner program(they pay you depending on how well your posts perform), it took me around 15 minutes to write the single article*, and it generated over $1100 in April. I'm only sharing this here because I was not expecting it at all.

*learning to write well-performing articles took me a while, but it's compound effort so it pays off :)

Impressive. I always wondered why people wrote quality posts on medium. Now I know why. 🙂 Care to share the niche of your post?

WHat kind of stats do you have on average per post? Claps, etc... Thanks for sharing!
(Or at least what are the stats of this single article that generated you this much?)

Did you just write, post and boom? Or had to do anything else? If you did, don't have to tell us.

This is the single best performing article I've had:(it's the one with 38K views, and in total 15K claps) I have others at 1-5k views, but they generated max $30-$50.

I just wrote and boom.
1) the title is 90% of the article, and to figure out what titles work/don't work took some testing and investigation
2) I wrote about something everyone is thinking about but nobody says
The biggest factor, I'd say, is that it's a short article and easy to share with friends, and everyone shared it A LOT on twitter and such, eventually, the medium algorithm picked it up and it was also a staff pick and featured on the homepage.
This, by the way has one goal: to build an audience. I plan to share more about this on my site eventually(it's sadly a bit neglected).

Insane earnings, didn't know that you could make so much off writing articles. Might have to try this out myself.
