One Thing You Need to do to Make $1000 a Month On Medium

Trust me when I tell you this little secret. Even when I tell you I’ve only earned $998 on my best month here and most months it’s between $300-$600 pending on how much I can be bothered. The truth is I only earn that much because I’m lazy. If I worked harder on this site I would earn more. At least triple. In a month I write mostly 150-word — ten minutes to write — short-form posts like this one, and a couple of kick-ass posts that earn me the bulk of my takings on here.

How To Get Hooked On Writing

And its dark side..beware. — Medium is a funny place. It’s a meta-verse brimming with all sorts of creatures. Great writers, critics and trolls. Lots of trolls.

Going Back To University in Middle Age

You know what they say about making amends? They only count when you mean it. Throughout my school years I let myself down. Looking back on my school reports is like deja vu. Tom could do so much better if he applied himself. Tom needs to be more organised. Tom is bright but unfocused. So I left school with nothing, worked some unsuitable jobs and ended up here. 40 years old, going through old school records as I apply to go to university.

MK Ultra! Does It Still Exist?

Project MKUltra or just MK-Ultra was an illegal mind control programme developed by the CIA and other agencies that used behavioural psychologists and pharmacologists to experiment with mind control. Started in 1953 and halted 20 years later after a public outcry it engaged in some troubling activities. But the question is, does it still exist? My answer, is yes, in some form. Of course, it does. You don’t just bin 20 years of research and walk away. You either go underground or black ops.

On Loose Ends And Unfinished Business

It took me 11 years to say sorry. I had done something wrong; we both knew it. We were close once, and it was my fault she left. As human beings, we make mistakes. This is the natural order of things. What we think is a good idea can turn out to be the worst. It is not about the mistakes we make. It’s about what we do after. I cannot tell you how light I felt when I finally got to say sorry. You don’t know until you do.

Making Lent Work For You Even If You Aren’t Catholic

But there’s always a chance to get back on track, and that’s with Lent. Lent this year begins on the 22nd of February and lasts 40 days. For Catholics, it’s a time of fasting and abstinence to signify Jesus’ 40 days in the desert.

On the fear of rejection

This one is the worst. It’s the life killer, the dream destroyer. The black cloud envelopes your vision and keeps it as a fantasy. Every year you get older, your window gets a tiny bit smaller. Maybe you’ll cross the road and, all of a sudden, your window slams shut. How many great articles never got published because the author feared the publisher's rejection? How many beautiful marriages were missed because someone was too afraid to return a smile?
