My Top 10 Highest-Earning Articles of All Time ($1,000+)
Exactly how much each one earned
I first discovered Medium way back in 2020, during the pandemic.
I was looking for ways to pass my time at home and I was thrilled when I watched a YouTube video which introduced me to the platform and told me I could actually make money from my hobby of writing.
Of course, at the start I was skeptical. How much money could an amateur writer really earn?

Here are my top 10 articles based solely on how much they earned:

You’ll notice a few more historical articles on this list which performed even better than this one.
