$102,069. That’s how much I made last month as the most successful writer on Medium.

So, if you want to be a full-time writer (like me), here’s what you need to know about making money online:

It’s Not Too Late To Start A Writing Career

All you need to do is work 23 hours per day, every day.

Work hard. Not smart.

Calculate The Necessary Work Ethic To Achieve Your Goals

Let’s say it takes two hours to write and submit a blog post.
