My Highest Earning Story In May 2023
Ugh. I didn’t even scrape $5 this month.
I made just over $4.50 — plus I have the 30% international tax to contend with.
My stats are steady. I have 3k followers. I have published 500 stories.
And before you come to the conclusion that my writing must be sh**, I will kindly ask you to leave and not let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.
I may be full of self-doubt on the best of days, but I know my stuff is good enough to earn more than $4.50. It’s certainly better than the sh** some people (…or bots, often, let’s be honest,) put out on the regular.
(No I’m not talking about you — if you’re reading this, then I’m definitely talking about someone else…)
I don’t want to enter into discussions about the conspiracies of the algorithm, or my regular (well-justified) rant about how they need to find a way to pay us for external traffic (the Freemium model is Right. There. Argh!)
And good Lord, PLEASE, no more advice.
I know it’s well-meaning, but it doesn’t help.
