Hi friends
Creating content online is wild.
One day you’re king of the road, the next you’re down in the gutter.
Overly dramatically put.
That’s creator life 2023. A long road of ups & downs, highs & lows, self-doubt & surprising appreciation.
I am now a full-time content creator, relying on three main creation tactics:
Writing
Digital products
Marketing
Here’s how I make money as a full-time content creator in 2023.
1. Full-blown Medium-ness
I am a decent writer. Not a great one, but I don’t suck either.
I can’t hide the fact that English isn’t my native language, but I know my way around some words.
For the first 13 years of my online career, starting in 2008, I was exclusively writing and creating content in German. German blogs, German social accounts, German readers.
It wasn’t going anywhere, to be honest.
Then, I found Medium in 2021. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Boy, did I not know what to expect!
I jotted down my first (horrible) writing attempts in English. To my surprise, they seemed to resonate with Medium members & publication editors. I got into big pubs like Better Marketing, the Startup, Curious, Better Humans, and more with my earliest attempts.
I was hooked.
That was February 2021. To this day (Aug 2023) it hasn’t stopped. Still hooked on Medium. Full-blown Medium-ness.
It’s my main content outlet, I’ve been making 3–4 figures a month since month 3 on this platform, and all my other successes came hand-in-hand with the Medium growth. (If you want the same, check out this week’s sponsor section below, and you’ll be well on your way.)
Medium changed my life. Cheesiest line ever, but oh so true.
So yeah, I make money on Medium. And I recently crossed 750K views. Pretty dope.
