My First $100 on Medium
Hi I’m Sunil Dom and I want to share with you how I earned my first $100 by writing on Medium. It wasn’t easy at first but it was a journey that taught me a lot about patience learning and never giving up.
The Beginning
When I first started writing on Medium I was really excited. I had so many ideas and stories in my head that I wanted to share with the world. But when I put them down on paper something didn’t feel right. My writing wasn’t as good as I hoped. In fact, it was pretty bad.
I remember one of my first stories got a few comments. Some people were kind and said, “Good start, but you can improve!” Others gave me suggestions like, “Try to make your sentences shorter,” or “You could add more details to make the story interesting.”
The Tough Weeks
At first, these comments made me feel a little sad. I thought, “Maybe I’m not a good writer after all.” But then I realized something important: these comments weren’t meant to hurt me. They were meant to help me get better.
So, I started reading more. I read other stories on Medium to see how different writers told their stories. I paid attention to how they described things, how they made their readers feel, and how they kept the story simple but interesting.
Learning to Write Better
Every day, I practiced writing. I would write a small story or an article, then read it out loud to myself. I asked myself, “Does this make sense? Is it easy to understand? Would an 8-year-old enjoy reading this?”
Slowly, I started to notice changes in my writing. My sentences became clearer, my ideas were easier to follow, and my stories started to have a nice flow. I began to feel more confident.
The First $100
After a few weeks, something amazing happened. One of my stories got a lot of attention! People were reading it, liking it, and even sharing it with their friends. Then, one day, I received an email from Medium: I had earned $100 from my writing!
I couldn’t believe it! I was so happy and proud. It felt like all the hard work and learning had finally paid off.
What I Learned
Earning my first $100 on Medium taught me an important lesson: It’s okay to make mistakes when you start something new. What’s important is to learn from those mistakes and keep trying. With time and effort, you can get better at anything you set your mind to.
So, if you ever feel like you’re not good at something, remember my story. Keep practicing, keep learning, and don’t give up. Who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll be telling your own story of success too!
And that’s how I earned my first $100 by writing on Medium. It wasn’t just about the money; it was about the journey of learning and growing as a writer.
