I am a small fish in a large pond. I pay little attention to statistics or income. I just write, small, personal articles in a conversational tone. I appreciate the small responses I get. I write for the pleasure of communication, whether it be with one or a thousand readers.
I appreciate your comments. You are one of the big players. I am not. I ride the wave, large or small - one day at a time. I trust you will find the satisfaction you seek.
My income from Medium is just enough to pay for my
$5 /mon and buy na hamburger. I can't value my contributions higher. I have no idea how Medium values my articles, and don't really care.
