Maximizing Earnings on YouTube and Medium in 2024
Written on
Overview of Earnings from Medium and YouTube
To give an accurate representation of potential earnings in the online space, it's essential to share real figures.
Most of my online ventures are centered around two main platforms: Medium and YouTube. While I engage in additional side hustles, such as affiliate marketing, KDP publishing, and a budding email newsletter, the majority of my income still derives from these two channels.
There are several reasons I like to publicly share my earnings from time to time:
- It allows me to reflect on what strategies are effective and which are not.
- It may inspire others looking to launch their own online content businesses, as it did for me in my early days.
- It offers a realistic view of what early-stage creators can earn, countering misleading claims of making huge sums quickly.
- It fosters transparency in the "make money online" niche that I write about.
Typically, I write articles detailing these earnings—check out my Month 5 earnings video on YouTube for more insights. However, this month, I opted to create a video since I had a lot to discuss.
In the video, I break down my earnings from each platform last month, highlight my successes and areas for improvement, and share my future plans. I hope you find it enjoyable!

For those who have been following my journey, I'm consistently reviewing my earnings as part of my Publish Every Day project.
