From 500 Views to 10,000: My Journey on Medium and Lessons Learned

Certainly! Here’s the translation of the provided text from Chinese to English:

In July 2022, I discovered the Medium platform. At that time, I saw it as a side job, a means to generate additional income through writing. Coincidentally, I was also involved in book publishing work, making it the perfect time to embark on the journey with Medium.

The readership in July 2022 was really low, with less than 500 views.

In February 2024, the readership surpassed 10,000 for the first time.

To earn money on Medium in 2022, one needed 100 followers, had to set up Stripe, open a domestic payment account, and submit U.S. tax forms. The entire process was lengthy, and without assistance, it required personal completion. After 6 months, in January 2023, the first income of $1.70 was earned.

During these 6 months, the main challenges were language barriers, time constraints, and figuring out how to operate effectively.

To address the language barrier, translation tools were crucial due to language differences.
