Hello and welcome from The Poor House. We have your room ready and waiting for you.

Yes, you won't ever be rich writing on this platform regardless of which publication you write for. I write for 14 (including my own) with 2 more pending. I just got paid .88 cents for Sept. I don't write every day because of health reasons so I write when I can.
From what I've read, and no, I haven't read any of the guru articles because, well, I'll keep that to myself.
But I have read articles from average folks with sound advice. Write. Just write. The old "build it and they will come" thing. There are people that are just starting to make money now on an article that they posted 8 months ago.
Medium is a marathon. Not a sprint. Good luck to you!
