In the month of July, 2022, I was able reach 304 views in a single day — my all time high. That same month, with views, reads, fans, and followers rapidly climbing, I got into the Partner Program.

I think that’s where the drop in stats starting happening.

I mean, it was to be expected — when you put your content behind a paywall, you’re probably going to lose the majority of your readers and views at first.

However, after making $6.29 in the month of July, I was able to make $10.79 in August and $8.70 in September.

Things were going pretty good, and I thought it was only going to get better from there.

The thing is…it didn’t.

When October came, I made a measly $1.83 after publishing an even more measly 3 articles — a pretty far cry from the 9 I had published in July and even the 6 from August.

I knew there were going to be highs and lows, and I thought November might pick things back up. As of November 25th, though, I’ve made $1.65 with 120 views. Not too pretty.
