A Journey of Writing 220 Articles in Just 4 Months

Chapter 1: My Medium Experience
On May 6, I was introduced to Medium, which marked a pivotal moment in my life. It was on this day that I established my first profile, The Wealth Blog. This platform was dedicated to exploring unique side hustles, obscure web tools, and passive income opportunities. It emerged from a sense of frustration; I wanted to create content that addressed the gaps I often encountered while browsing the internet.
I have a keen interest in unconventional ways to earn money—those that are rarely discussed. I prefer reading about creativity and innovative approaches to income generation rather than the mundane and widely known ideas. However, finding such content was a challenge, leading me to take the initiative to produce what I wished to read myself, rather than focusing solely on profitability.
I’m not alone in this sentiment. Matt Patton wrote an article advocating for a more creative approach to side hustles:
Why It’s Time to Start Thinking More Creatively About Side-Hustles Today
Isn’t it time we move beyond the same old ten side hustles?
My Writing Journey
Currently, I have authored around 170 pieces for The Wealth Blog and over 50 for Simple Research. To my astonishment, I have amassed over 2.7k followers on my primary account and an additional 1k on my secondary profile. This level of engagement was beyond my expectations.
English writing was never my forte, yet I took a leap of faith. Although my articles are not flawless and may lack perfect editing, I have managed to achieve this milestone. Writing on Medium has taught me that value is paramount; as long as an article delivers substance, readers are generally forgiving of minor errors.
What Medium Has Provided Me
Medium has equipped me with:
- Courage: Inspired by my Medium audience, I launched my own blog, a venture I wouldn’t have considered otherwise.
- Discipline: For the first three months, I committed to publishing 2 to 3 valuable articles daily. The discipline required to maintain this pace was significant.
- Connections: I cherish the interactions with individuals seeking ways to transform their fields into profitable side hustles. Engaging with fellow writers has fostered a valuable network.
- Improved Writing Skills: Reflecting on my initial article, it featured large blocks of text, generic stock images, and lacked proper structure:

Comparatively, my latest article showcases substantial improvements in both content and structure:

The Significance of Writing
In school, I often questioned the purpose of writing assignments. The typical response—“that’s what the government mandates”—left me unsatisfied. Today, I recognize the profound importance of writing.
Writing fosters critical thinking, enhances creativity, and improves communication skills. It empowers you to convey impactful messages. It’s a tool that sharpens with regular use, and Medium has served as an excellent platform for honing this skill.
Should You Give It a Try?
If my answer is affirmative, it underscores the value of my four-month journey on Medium—it has been worthwhile. You don’t need to publish 2 to 3 articles daily; consistency is key, even if it’s just twice a week. Embrace mistakes; I’ve encountered many, yet I’m still here. Ultimately, we aim to provide meaningful content to our audiences, and that effort is rewarded.
Conclusion
In summary, writing 220 articles can be transformative. I’m not referring to a life of luxury but to the invaluable connections, skills, and modest income that afford me more time. This journey has broadened my perspectives and facilitated continuous learning and growth.
