Don’t Show Me How to Make $20,000 a Month-Show Me This Instead

Then maybe I’ll be impressed

My Medium newsfeed is starting to get on my nerves. I’m trying to filter it but obviously I’m not doing it right. I’m tired of all the …

“This is How I Made $20,000 This Month (and so can you”).

Or this one

“Find Out How I Quadrupled My Medium Earnings With Just ONE Article (and so can you”).

And my least favourite one is this

“How to Become a 6 Figure a Year Blogger in 6 Months”

Here’s the thing. It’s not that the articles themselves are annoying. It’s the fact that most of them are fueled with greed, not passion.

Hear me out…

I used to do this

I use to chase dollars and numbers. I was a stats whore in the worst way. Every morning before I made it to the coffee maker I would fervently check all my stats, all my earnings, how high my numbers got, how much money I made the day before.

Now that I look back, I can see how pathetic it was.

I even went so far to write an income report or two. I thought they would be great for my traffic and my site. Neither was true.
