Medium Mobile — The End

It was an interesting experiment — A few months ago, I decided I was going to try out an experiment and see if I could earn enough money on Medium for a new car. Six months later, I’m calling an end to the experiment — and probably for the reason you expect! The Medium-Mobile Experiment Can I earn enough for a car on Medium?matthewwoodall.medium.com It’s not that I…

Let’s Get Serious

Childcare is too important to be concerned with profit — I am very proudly the father of a school-aged child, and am dating a woman who also has a kid in that age range. For much of the past decade, childcare has been a personal concern of mine — along with a professional one. My ex-wife, my girlfriend, and I…

This Metric Means More than Cash

Understanding your true value on Medium — I’m in a few Facebook groups where I share my work on a semi-regular basis — mostly to get it out to a wider group of people. I don’t engage in follow-for-follow and don’t demand engagement — mostly I just want to get my work out to a diverse group…

How to Survive a Major Mistake

I got the data wrong, but it’s not the end of the world — With the end of 2022 also came the official end of a contract that has done many things for me over the past 5 years or so since I started it. As part of my final tasks, I’m doing some updating of older pieces — making sure that statistics and…

Libraries are Essential

They need to be funded as such — I love libraries. I’ve loved them ever since I was a kid. The sense of unlimited knowledge, free for the taking, openly shared with anyone who walked through the doors. As a kid, I could commonly be found browsing the stacks in my little community library. While I started upstairs…

An Unexpected Visit

My anxiety suddenly reappeared today — it wasn’t fun — I live with anxiety. Most days I am quite successful in dealing with it and keeping it under control. Today is not one of those days. I can’t even explain why it showed up today, just that it was triggered by an innocuous “can we talk about…” email from a…

BLOCKED!

Why I blocked an author instead of engaging with them — I work very hard to be thoughtful and careful when I’m here. I know that my opinions and beliefs are formed out of my own experiences, education, and unearned privilege. I also know that my writing is not for everyone, but I work hard to make it accessible — even…

November 2022 Update — It’s been a hot month since I updated all of you on where this is — here’s where things are at the end of November, 2022. In July, I decided to see how long it would take me to earn enough money on Medium to buy a car…it’s going to take quite a while by the looks of it seeing as I haven’t even been able to afford the front bumper components yet!
