Thank you! Yes, that also includes editing. Right now, I have a few editors and that saves me a lot of time.
Going through and checking writers who want to join my publication is almost as time-consuming as editing because I'll read a couple of articles to make sure it's not just AI.
I'm not really sure about my readers publishing with me. I think it's closer to half and half.
I'm not on Medium as much during the weekend, but I'll still read a few articles and I'll write or have something scheduled to be published.
I think my base for earnings ranges between $400-$600 per month. It's only possible for me to make more if an article goes viral and that's something I have no control over at all.
Anyway, I'm sorry for writing an essay. I blame the coffee!
