Good reminder to not focus on one platform - I’m in the same boat Medium-wise, earnings have dropped off a cliff edge from multiple thousands per month to some pocket change! Will stick with it for a few more months but like you I’m exploring other avenues now too.
I think I’ll stick with it for longer because I think things will change again sometime next year. But I’m turning to X and Substack for now, priority-wise.
My biggest month on Medium resulted in a $6.04 payment until last month when I made $19.20. One of my posts was boosted on September 27th and that made a huge difference. That post brought in an amazing $183.00 so far this month. I'm over the moon. I'm retired from 22+ years of bar and grill ownership so I'm not writing to make money, so much as doing what I enjoy. If one post can garner this much money I'm determined to write posts that get boosted. I haven't done much with my Substack account, but I plan on giving that more attention too. Thanks for the great advice. :)

Good reminder to not focus on platforms but rather on our own email list?
