I’ve Given Up Checking My Medium Stats
And I feel epic
Even though the days are getting colder, and I face a winter of high energy costs, I have been walking with something of a spring in my step these past few days, and a smile on my face.
My felicity has nothing to do with a lottery win, or being pronged in the gluteus maximus by Cupid’s arrow, but rather I have shaken off the yoke of my Medium statistics. And I feel epic, as an old TV ad used to say.
I’ve been round the block
As a newcomer, I didn’t come to the platform as some star-struck writer who thought great riches were only a few well-written stories away. I’ve been round the block a bit, having arrived at Medium via Helium, Triond, HubPages and Bubblews. Out of those, the only one I made any worthwhile money at was Bubblews, but that platform’s model was doomed to fail. So, didn’t hold out any hope of making money on my latest venture.
I soon saw that my work was earning very little, and so whenever I checked my Medium stats, I would only look at the page views and member stats. There was no point in viewing the paltry sum my stories had earned, as I could tell by the graph showing views that there would be no need to trouble those in the financial department.
