I still remember the feeling of being able to earn money the first time through my writing. It was April of 2020 and I earned exactly $2.53.

Believe it or not, I was drowning in happiness! $2.53 is all that it took to make my day that day. It wasn’t even the money, but it’s the feeling of being able to achieve something unprecedented.

The following month, $17.29. The next one, an exponential jump to $574.76.

Happiness lies in the beauty of measuring your own progress and not comparing yourself to other people because of course, that’s stupid.

Today, I witnessed yet again another viral story. Hundreds of people on Twitter and Facebook have shared it. So far, it’s my highest-earning story ever. Let me tell you how.

The Story

My niche is in technology and entrepreneurship and I’ve discovered it just this year when I noticed that number of my stories about Elon Musk, Startups, and Technology went viral.
