It was within less than 3 months that writing on these two platforms brought in a full-time income.

Becoming a good writer will not be a simple task. Getting steady, good-paying work as a writer is pretty tough; however, I found two platforms that changed everything for me. Within three months, I have managed to create a full-time income, and I would be so excited to share this experience with you.

The Two Platforms: Medium and Substack

There are two main options, which somewhat expand a writer's audience. Medium ensures that a proper volume of readers exists and the writer can eventually tap into it. Substack lets writers create newsletters and sell them to readers directly.

My Story

From January, I began writing stories on Medium regarding technology and innovations. Regularly, the articles were published, and there was always engagement from readers with their responses to each comment. Just a month after launching my blog, key pieces started getting thousands of views.
Around that time, I launched a Substack newsletter by posting some behind-the-scenes content and insights there. I sent it to some other types of platforms: promotional content on Medium and social media; before I knew it, subscribers started coming in.
