My Journey on Medium: A Reflection on Month Two
Written on
Chapter 1: Celebrating Two Months
Happy two-month anniversary to me!
Can you believe it? I've officially completed two months on Medium! Time truly flies—just yesterday, I was anxiously clicking "publish" for my inaugural article. Now, here I am, reflecting on the journey thus far.
This month, I embarked on a mission: to exceed my initial expectations and provide even more engaging content for my audience. My goal was to craft stories that not only captured attention but also resonated with readers long after they had finished.
To achieve this, I ventured into the realm of short fiction. As a hopeless romantic, immersing myself in the lives of fictional characters and their epic romances felt like a dream come true. And you know what? It was rewarding! To my surprise, two of my fictional pieces ranked among my top three articles for February:
- I Never Thought I Would Fall In Love, Until I Met You
- I Will Love You In This Life, The Next, And The One After
- Running Out Of Ideas To Write About
This month, I earned a total of $84.52—just $4 more than last month. While it may not seem like a fortune, every cent serves as validation for my hard work and dedication.
I also welcomed 645 new followers, bringing my total to 1598. Each follower is more than a statistic; they represent individuals—writers and readers who find value in my words and choose to accompany me on this journey.
To all 1598 of you, thank you! Your support, encouragement, and belief in my writing inspire me to continue pouring my heart into every piece I create.
However, the journey wasn't without its challenges. I faced moments of doubt and frustration, particularly on days when life felt overwhelming. Balancing deadlines, errands, and responsibilities sometimes pushed my writing to the back burner.
There were times I questioned my abilities or felt stagnant in my progress. Yet, I reminded myself that growth is a gradual process, and every setback offers a lesson for improvement.
Even during the busiest days when Medium felt like just another task on my list, I made a conscious effort to dedicate time to my passion. Writing is not merely an activity for me; it’s an essential part of who I am, a unique way to express myself and connect with others.
Reflecting on my second month on Medium fills me with pride and a sense of achievement. While I may not have accomplished every goal, I've certainly made significant strides since I began this adventure.
Looking ahead, I'm excited to explore where this platform will lead me and what new opportunities await.

The second video, "From 0 to $1000+ per month on Medium | My Journey and how you can do the same," shares my personal journey and offers insights on how to replicate my success.
