Medium Income Report for the Month of May — I am very pleased to announce that during the month of May, Medium earned me exactly $327.68:

Let’s crack the code of Medium together — I’ve been working on updating my Medium guide for over 2 months now. I published the first version on March 19, 2023. I’ve just released the new version on Gumroad, which collects all my new experiences, everything I’ve learned, and everything that’s new on Medium. 126 pages covering everything from…

The plant you see in this photo was actually green — I love plants. They’re green, they don’t make noise, they never complain, they don’t ask for anything, they’re just themselves. Any human construction invaded by plants becomes pretty. Any building, even the ugliest and most repulsive. Since my apartment is a place I found ugly and repulsive, I bought several…

I always see very generic advice like “focus on quality content”, “always proofread”, “edit and format your articles”, “blablabla”… …

It seems that the Medium staff selects a few stories every day to feature in several sections that attract traffic, including the emails they send to readers. But while my stories…

Medium, why were you so far away from me? — I’ve been sick for the last 5 days, but more importantly, being the standard-bearer of the procrastinator tribe, I’ve found myself with my back to the wall, doing work that should have been done weeks ago the night before it was due. I often tell myself that I need to…

A tale of how to always find the opportunity, even in difficult situations — Imagine: you’re on public transport, you’re on Medium on your phone and Medium recommends a story with a title very similar to one of your stories.
