Emily, #1, Congrats! #2, Thank you for writing about your experience in a well-written, non-braggy way! I get so sick of the regurgitated, super braggy, vague posts about how to earn here. The truth is, it can’t be our “why" on the platform, as it is very arbitrary. I love writing here and while I’ve never published daily, some months I’ve published 20+ times. And for some, I’ve only published 6. I won’t ever leave, as honing those writing muscles, building the portfolio, & meeting other amazing writers/ people keeps me here, but I can’t rely on breaking into significant income either (although I’ve pushed past the 3 figure mark😁). At any rate, thanks for writing an encouraging piece & congrats again!
