Making $0.65 A Hour And Happy
I have made $18.34 in the last 2 weeks on Medium
I have averaged 2 hours per day writing the content for my page.
That 28 Hours has earned only $18.34
That equates to 0.65 per hour of work
I turned down job offers for $26.32 an hour
But I am not annoyed by that at all by this.
I’m enjoying the journey.
When I saw my Medium balance and realised that this is how much I have been making per hour my first thought was how others would think of me for turning down so much more money, stability and opportunity.
I am fully aware of the minimal returns for my effort and investment into this craft. I am though immensely excited about the momentum that I am building towards a better hourly rate.
Compare my $0.65 to last month.
I made $30.43 across 31 days of working for approximately 2.5 hours per day.
That makes $0.39 per hour.
All in all, that means that I am currently on track to make a 60% improvement in my hourly rate In May.
I may be entirely gaslighting myself into thinking that I am on the right track but maybe this is the unfiltered optimism that I need to progress on this journey during this period of lowly returns.
I know that with continued effort and time applied to this craft, I will improve and the results will be undeniable.
Or so I hope.
