I write about business/startups/productivity/tech/personal development with quite a unique attitude towards management, it might just make it impossible for me to ever find a job again, but I don't want one anyway.

(Or at least what are the stats of this single article that generated you this much?)
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).
