Anyone who tells you that is full of crap. All you have to do is click on their profile and you will see that all of their articles are behind a paywall, but they try to act so self-righteous. 😅

I'll be honest and say that starting out on Medium isn't easy. You will have to read and engage a lot more than you write to help build some momentum. Trying out different publications can also help.

Eventually, the earnings will start to grow but it's a slow process.
