From my experience - getting into the $100 club also takes, frankly, luck.

I publish 6 articles a week. I have been told they are good and well-written - yet I've only had 1 month where I earned ALMOST $100.

I've been writing consistently for Medium for 2+ years now.

Maybe I haven't made my way to the club - yet. But I keep working, keep writing, and keep striving to improve my writing.

And most of all - I believe in the ideas I share. And I will keep at it.

Thanks for your insight.
