Transforming Life with Earnings Under $100 on Medium
Written on
Chapter 1: The Potential of Small Earnings
This perspective fills me with joy.
Research indicates that a considerable number of writers in the Partner Program make less than $100 each month. However, it's important to recognize that every writer has the ability to succeed on this platform. Your definitions of success may vary from those of others.
Let’s move away from the stereotype of a struggling writer and focus on what truly matters: enhancing your quality of life. I once came across an article where the author expressed an unexpected viewpoint—that having a corporate job can be the key to thriving in a side hustle. I find myself in agreement with this sentiment.
While the earnings you and I might achieve could appear modest compared to others, there's a positive twist to this story. Embracing gratitude can lead to transformative experiences and the realization of incredible outcomes. Here’s how you, whether a newcomer or an aspiring writer, can transform your life even while making under $100 in the Partner Program.
Other writers and I have shared numerous strategies to boost your income here. Some of these narratives might serve as motivation, particularly if they include income reports that resonate with you. Yet, some may leave you feeling disheartened due to repetitive advice or the feeling that you've tried every strategy without success.
Today, however, I want to propose a fresh perspective: it’s about cherishing the journey. Relish the excitement of watching your earnings grow each month, regardless of the amount. Every bit of income contributes to enhancing lives—whether it’s for a cup of coffee, a slice of pizza, or building an emergency fund. Remember, it’s money that you didn’t have before.
Now, let's explore how amounts under $100 can significantly impact your life, particularly regarding your standard of living.
Section 1.1: The Impact of Small Amounts
You don’t need hundreds of dollars to effect change in someone’s life. However, as your aspirations and expenses increase, higher earnings become essential. You alone can manage your financial growth. Instead of viewing $20, $30, or $40 as insignificant, consider this:
Let’s say you typically earn under $100 each month. Over three months, that could total between $120 and $130. By the end of the year, you could potentially have an emergency fund of $1,000.
Isn’t that impressive?
Section 1.2: Inspiration Behind This Perspective
The inspiration for this article comes from the income report of Inky Blue Allusions, known as Autumn Seave. Autumn shared her feelings about her Medium earnings, stating she isn’t particularly impressed.
Today, I won’t advise you to write more or experiment with your headlines. Instead, I’ll adopt a gentler approach. I understand that your earnings from the Partner Program may not be remarkable. Nevertheless, there is still room for growth. Even if you don’t see substantial increases, you could still save enough from your payouts to build a $1,000 emergency fund.
Of course, I must mention taxes, which may reduce that to $500 or $300 by year-end. But the essential point is that you have set aside money that you previously lacked.
