    I write a blog on Medium.

    You need to have a ton of content to make any amount of money. After writing 200 articles, I started making a consistent $100/month. Not quitting my day job any time soon, but I have a lot of downtime at work, so it’s a productive way to pass the time.

    Oh, and the $100/month is pretty consistent. I took a month off from writing, and they still sent me money for the read time on my old articles. The pay is low… but my boss wouldn’t send me a small stipend if I decided not to show up for a month. So, I really can’t complain.

      $100 a month for 200 articles or more is awful money. You could mow two lawns a week and make 4 times that.

        Even so, 100 a month is better than a kick in the teeth. Plus, depending on the time-sensitivity of the articles, it could be a source of slight passive income.
