I don’t know what I did to get a boost but I got one.

I published the story Hey Golfers — Get Physical in 2024 on January 01.

On January 03, Medium Boosted That Story.

Views and reads started to climb immediately. They peaked on January 06 when I had 316 views and 216 reads.

Guess How Much Money I Made?

Since I published that story on January 01, it has been viewed 613 times and 370 people have read it. Here’s the shocker. The total revenue generated was $0.00.

How can that be? Another story that I published on January 06, The Adventures of Dick the Cat, Day Three. Dick Meets Happy the Rabbit, has had 11 views and 5 reads and it has earned a whopping $2.35.

Here is the Answer

I purposely did not put Hey Golfers — Get Physical in 2024 behind the paywall so that non-Medium viewers could read the whole story when I shared it on LinkedIn and Facebook.

Moving Forward
