Really thrilled I could help to make a difference for you on Medium! The boost is really something that can change things around. My first year on the platform (pre-boost), I never cracked over a hundred a month, and then with my first viral, boosted article, I made double or triple what I had that first year all in one month. Sadly I haven't been able to rely on an income like that each month since, but just the ability to pull in even hundreds from this online income is more than I could have ever hoped for. I actually just wrote a piece about beginning to write on Medium a few days ago myself.
Glad you're finding some success here and glad to have you as a part of the community! Thanks for sending this one in.
