I have a love-hate relationship with Medium.

I love it because it’s an easy platform to write on. It’s intuitive. It’s easy to publish. I enjoy making a few hundred bucks from it every month.

I dislike it because it changes all the time. Feels like so many good writers have left this platform. Having said that, I’m focusing on what I can achieve on Medium.

Here are the golden rules that keep me focused on my Medium goals.

A quick look at my Medium goals

My golden rules originate from my Medium goals.

I want to get more disciplined in my approach. Have clearer goals. Shoot for the moon.

Here are the Medium goals I want to accomplish in the next few months:

• Earn $1,000 per month on Medium (I earn a few hundred right now)
• Build my email list and substack newsletter to 10k subscribers
• Write deep-dive articles based on what articles do the best here

1. Write for at least 1 hour a day
