I Am Over The Moon, Happy As A Larry, Overjoyed, Buzzing With Excitement
I am one of 1000 writers to get a $500 bonus from Medium.
I couldn’t believe it when I opened the email.
I thought it was a mistake. A prank? Or worst one of the fraud emails?
It was not until three other writers reported in a SLACK group that they too got a bonus check of $500 that I realized I had made my first real money from writing.
I have been publishing one article a day for about 27 days now. Before that, I was averaging two articles a week. I have put an insane amount of hours into learning the craft of article writing in the past two and half years.
It feels good to be recognized.
It is not the money, but the recognition that someone took notice of my work that feels good.
This $500 will go a long way.
Many writers like me needed this proof that we can develop a career by writing online.
This money is not enough to pay bills for many, but it is enough to give us the taste of online work. And it is a world with abundance. Thousands of entrepreneurs are building millions (nee billions) of dollars worth of businesses online. We just needed a tiny proof for ourselves.
