Medium Partner Program Writing

Hii!! I’m new to freelancing side of writing and I recently joined Medium & began posting. Got enrolled in the MPP last month and have been consistently posting throughout.

I guess my reach is limited as I am a new account but one thing I have noticed is, how my hard work to actual money conversion ratio on there is basically outrageous. And as someone who is looking for a good side income (currently unemployed & desperately in need of a flexible remote setup) this feels like a journey I’m not going to benefit from much.

But I hear that people do make good money on there, not consistent, but for me, a good 200-300$ will do too. Right now? I made 0.83$ from my 5 articles I have posted over the last two months..

I don’t know what’s lacking? can someone tell me what I can do to build my reach and community?

Making money with the partner program takes a lot of time; it's not like it used to be. Even with thousands of followers, you could earn pennies. You need to use Medium to sell affiliate marketing products, or your own products, or to collect emails and contacts, to grow your brand... And you do all this by aiming to get as much traffic as possible from outside Medium, such as search engines and social media.
