Shelby, I had never heard of Medium before your first video and joined it immediately after watching. I wrote an article that's been knocking around in my brain for a while. It got around 3,000 views, then got featured on a publication and then curated to the Medium email etc, same as you. It currently has about 7,000 views and made over $100. So thank you! I was even contacted by an Australian publication about reposting my article on their site. As a former journalist now working in post production, it's so nice to have somewhere to get back into writing. Hopefully my next article does as well, but even if not, I'm glad I found Medium. Thank you! 👏🏻
I love how you actually came back and gave us feedback, some UA-camrs just leave us in the dark. I love this♥️♥️ Edit : oh my I did not think I would get so many likes haha more than I get on my own videos. I'm glad a lot more people feel the same. I really love Shelbys videos and how real they are. Also i came across her article on the medium homepage and I was like you go girl.
I came across your article on medium. I was instantly like: oh thats the article Shelby wrote in that video! And then 20k claps surprised me even more. Since then i have been waiting for this video
I think the fact that your (Medium) submission was literally about your huge earnings on UA-cam shows that you're a well known creator with huge audience so it probably is a likelihood that Medium (if they didn't already know of you) would've searched up your channel and found the video doing the experiment and bumped it so you got good results so they get more ppl sub'ing and more creators.... In saying that, I still love that you did the experiment and as always was a great video and Im def going to submit articles :)
Hi Shelby! I'm new to your channel but I have binge watched at least more than 50+ videos from you as of right now. You are an amazing content creater and always offer us new content that other youtubers don't really make. So thank you for being innovative and informative. Lots of love and best wishes from Pakistan ♥️
Crazy! Shelby you're on of my favorite UA-camrs, like you're one of the only people I actually fully watch. I grew my channel to almost 50,000 subscribers this last month, and definitely got a lot of inspiration from you :) -Charlie
@@marcbee1234 good to hear that you are also interested. I hopped over to your UA-cam channel and saw that you've already put up some great UA-cam videos! I watched for example the one with Dana and the car light polishing (sry for my English I am from Germany). I think that more people could be able to see your channel if you would change some little things in the title of your videos and on your channel. That would be awesome because I think you earn more subscribers :)
Shelby! These updates have been so so helpful. I started a Medium after watching your first video. Would love to see more update videos on this as time goes on :)
@@courtneysstafford hi Courtney I've read your article and it seems like you are really enjoying being back with the whole "writing thing". I am really happy for you and I think 20$ (12+8) are really great for the beginning. Keep going what makes you happy. I hope that you will have even more success in the future. Wish you all the best, Laura
@@LauraFruehauf Hi Laura, I have two articles published so far! One of the two have been published through a publication. I have yet to make any money on either of these articles, but I suppose that is part of the grind of it all. If you care to read the articles, my user is @darlsvasquez :)
I was waiting for this medium result video for weeks! Your result is mind blowing wow. And the 80/20 rule is so true. I’m going to make that 20 with this channel! 💎 Wish me luck and thank you for sharing the results. 🙏
im pretty sure having 1.5 million youtube subscribers will help in getting more article views. It increases your credibility, and will be shared by more people. Not really a good strategy for everyone else.
She addressed that in the video. Even if all her subs watch it doesnt make her money because we are not paid medium users. So that money came because actual paid medium users read the article.
@@NathanielGE but the paid medium users know she's a credible person because it's easily recognizable she has 1.5 million youtube subs. I just don't think people should waste their time thinking Medium articles will be a reliable sid-hustle, it just isn't for 99% of people.
@@WhenItsHalfPastFive of course. But that's a bit different from your original statement. The article reads aren't from her subs but of course being a big youtuber adds credibility to an article about UA-cam. So then the question for anyone that wants to do something similar is 'what subject do I have a lot of credibility in and could write about'. I'm sure this comment section is full of people with expertise and experiences others would love to read about.
Yea me too, the moment I signed up, i saw it first on the email and first on the medium website. Besides, what do I do if my country is not there on the options to register as a partner? What if I choose an other country? Will it work fine? Payments?
I've made over $4,000 from one Medium article this month and it had NOTHING to do with my UA-cam channel. Shelby is right - anyone can make money on Medium.
Shelby, when I saw your story on the "Popular" list on Medium, I was so excited for you! It was an AMAZING article. I think the only way that your UA-cam channel contributed to the "bump" on Medium is that you have a huge amount of expertise from running your channel that gave you the insights you needed to write a kick-ass article :) Can't wait to see what else you write!
Zulie Rane thank you so much, and for all the info! I learned so much from both you and Casey about how all this works- anyone reading this, go check out Zulie’s videos she has a ton of great content about how to get published on medium!
.. And Next week's Video will be entitled "How much money did I make on my video about "How Much did I Make on Medium writing about How Much I Made on UA-cam which was also a video by the same name" LOL
I’ve been writing on Medium for less than 2months now. I’m now a Top Writer. It’s been 3 days since I monetised & have made $150 so far. But a post went semi-viral. I’m definitely just going to focus on Medium rather than my UA-cam channel from now on.
Yes you're right, UA-cam is hard work. 290 vids and not even close to ever being Monetised. But it's been a lot of fun though creating vids so no regrets. Ditto Medium. Have just started thanks to Shelby.
Shelby, this is amazing! I'm so happy for you. You should totally WRITE ABOUT IT on Medium. One of the most viewed articles are the ones about making money on Medium - the irony, lol. I can see you making another $6,000 in a month.
Absolutely loved this video - great tips. Especially your tip to be patient with the process! 💯 As someone who has worked in content strategy and editorial for years, the biggest frustration I hear from new writers is how long it takes to grow an audience. Be consistent and patient.
I literally just fell off my chair when I hit the table to so hard saying "No F**king Way" when I saw the $6k u made from that article.... Omg... Great job!! You make me want to write for medium...about my life experiences... Hmm
I think Shelby is the most honest and transparent creator online. She constantly reveals how things really work behind the scenes online, and makes it easy to understand. I learn so much from her, and actually trust what she says. Thank you Shelby!
Started Writing after your first video on Medium, and also earned around 3x in the first week-$0.11, but 6K is clearly off the charts.. Great Work Shelby, keep inspiring
Mohamed Maftol it’s much harder to earn income from a blog than it is with Medium- with a blog it usually takes years before you begin seeing any income
I don't think you quite realize how awesome you and your sister would be every time you're together!! Just imagine how much of an impact you'll have when you're together when you're already doing so so great individually, good to hear about your podcast!
I'm 51, but have been a fan for about a year. I'm excited for the podcast...loved the trailer! This will be fun... please make sure you share how much money you can make with podcasts! ❤
Had no idea that Medium has a Partner Program, thanks Shelby. Here's the crucial thing from this video (which Shelby mentioned): She got such a big win because she put massive work into researching the video it was based on. Kudos Shelby! You did the work, created a great title that appeals to your audience and you got the reward. Love your videos. You have a new subscriber.
Medium decided to cure your article so you can make an update video on Medium earnings. ( The last one was not so good, $0.04). Doing this, more people will start to go to Medium to read and write articles. That's a good marketing move from Medium 😁
Shelby, I'll admit that when I came across your channel, I was so ready to write you off as yet another blonde California talking at her camera. BUT. I was wonderfully wrong. Every one of your videos is level headed, well-produced, informative, and full of genuine insight. I'm blown away, full of inspiration, and excited to see the success you have EARNED.
This clearly shows you that there will always be a way to make a income. just because of the current situation of how the economy is and the sky high unemployment, doesn't mean the achievement is impossible.
I literally got an email newsletter from Medium and saw that your article mentioned which was really cool. I was like oh I guess that did do well... it”s a really good reminder to see that creative work sometimes takes time to take off
You are a talented content creator but there's no doubt that as soon as they saw your article they immediately found your video and therefore your successful channel and they knew that they would be able to generate traffic for them from your channel because they knew you would do update videos so it was a no brainier for them to highlight you. That also doesn't take anything away from the quality of your article. Both things can be true simultaneously.
Its free advertising on their part. I wonder how many people looked into or started writing for medium based off this. It was the first time I was made aware of the company and it propelled me to look into it. They most likely saw how she met the standards they set and how made a popular video about medium and ran with it. Good for her. Its just that I bet the average person writing for them is not making that kind of money that fast off of a single article. Its like yeah one can make money off medium but its alot easier when you already have credibility, are an "influencer", and have your article accepeted, promoted and bannered by a publication with hunderds of thousands. Its awesome she mad money off of it and she is probably a good writer. Its just that regular people should go in with low expectations. Seems like many people in the comments think they are going to make thousands like its nothing.
Like always, another amazing video! Great content & easy way of putting it across! I definitely have picked up points to use on my UA-cam channel as well. Thanks! ✅
I'm glad you are doing so well. Of all the UA-cam videos I've watched about ways to make money, you come across as very honest, and truly trying to be helpful, most of them have a deceptive air about them. Keep it up, and great success to you!!
Ever since you posted the video saying you made like 4 cents, I was sooooo confused because I'd just started medium as well. My first article made $212, but each one after has only made about $1-4 so not much but huge difference from 0.04. Quality over quantity is always important but I just hate seeing my views plummet if I don't post in a while.
Mohamed Maftol probably the best way actually is to sell things with a very high profit margin...but yea this is turning out to be pretty lucrative too haha
I am not in any way criticising you. Kudos to you for earning 6K for your article. You give a lot of helpful advice for anyone who's primary focus is earning money through Medium. Since they changed the way in which earnings are calculated in the fall of 2019, the length of time viewers spend on an article is how Medium's algorithm calculates earnings to a great extent and 'claps' mean nothing- I don't even know why that icon is even still present on the platform. Short articles don't stand a chance of such earnings. Don't write poetry or fiction if you expect to earn anything through their partner program. Medium is full of articles such as yours, and yes, many of them are earning a substancial dime. But, just from a personal perspective, I find most of those articles utterly boring, and watching paint dry on an abandoned curb might hold my attention longer than reading a lot of them that Medium chooses to push forward on their platform.
Been watching your videos for awhile, so I know who you are...and I was so shocked when I saw your article on Medium's home page! It was after you posted the first video and I was like wow it really blew tf up
That is crazy good money for writing articles. Even a couple hundred on an article is enough for people to treat it as a side hustle that could potentially replace their job.
It's not that we don't know a person can make money from these 2 platforms, it's that her revealing of all the detailed earnings with the screenshots that makes the content unique. Very helpful, thank you for the hard work.
Ahhh so happy to hear you and Monica are starting a podcast!! I LIVE for both of your UA-cam videos about life and money and adulting and I can't wait to have something new to listen to on my drives!
Opeyemi Sanusi for my podcast I bought a $80 yeti microphone ..: i also got a $20 microphone that clamps to the desk .. they are both USB microphones .. overall not sure what you’re trying to buy but you don’t have to spend too much just to get started ..
@@DoctorFashion Can you pls tell me more, like i don't have much handsome amount of money to spend on equipments so could you just suggest how to upload vidoes on your own? if it's possible to tell me on insta or it's possible here only? cuz i wanna earn some money and i'm not able to differentiate what topic should i choose for ny UA-cam vidoes
I made surprising cash for an article that I sat down and banged out in just 20 minutes. But this video has great tips for how to maximize efforts. You and Monica produce great content and share useful topical info that people want to know! Well Done you!
come on yall not that dumb they featured her article cuz she made an Ad for them for free (or paid?) and they are making a story line (Oh Look you can do that too JOIN US NOWWWWW) please tell me that you already understood what this whole video about....... Edit: for 10 years on YT I would be making minimum 50k a month WTH?
even if she didn't, the fact that she has over 1 mil subscribers on UA-cam made them decide it was worth it to promote her article (and let's not forget all those subscribers who checked the article out when she published the video)
Thanks for sharing your inspiring story, Shelby. Its shows that Medium writing is one of the best spots to hop on as a writer, I look at your recent video for giving an update about this article that earned a lot and I'm surprised that it still earning today.
Love this and would love another follow up in one month to get a full story. Thanks for all of your videos. You inspire to create more and use platforms like these so thank you.
Shelby I am fairly confident this had nothing to do with your UA-cam account. It just so happens that it is a subject that has many people interested and you hit the nail on the head as they say. Your ability to explain things simply and straightforward with no fluff and long drawn out explanations is what resonates so well. I am happy for your success and wish you even greater with your future adventures. Let us know how the podcast is working out, maybe I will even listen in or subscribe. I have never found interest in them and have never listened to a single one in my life so that would be a new adventure for myself. God bless.
I’ve been publishing on Medium for about a month and I’ve been curated 3 times, so I consider that great, but they’ve only earned around $3.00. Publications is the key, I may write some pieces specifically for a certain publication. But, while I don’t think Medium chose Shelby because she is a UA-camr, I think it helped her reach such a large audience. For one thing, without the channel she’d never be able to write that article about a video, and secondly, she has millions of subscribers, so more people know her name than my name. Basically, did Medium offer a bias towards a UA-camr? I doubt it, but her channel certainly has provided a leg up that most don’t have.
Yea it’s like it’s possible it helped, it probably did. But it’s totally still possible for anyone else to be curated and make money, Zulie and Casey being great examples
Shelby Church it really is. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s encouraged me that patience will pay off, you’ve taught me a lot about the platform.

It was the first time I was made aware of the company and it propelled me to look into it. They most likely saw how she met the standards they set and how made a popular video about medium and ran with it. Good for her. Its just that I bet the average person writing for them is not making that kind of money that fast off of a single article. Its like yeah one can make money off medium but its alot easier when you already have credibility, are an "influencer", and have your article accepeted, promoted and bannered by a publication with hunderds of thousands. Its awesome she mad money off of it and she is probably a good writer. Its just that regular people should go in with low expectations. Seems like many people in the comments think they are going to make thousands like its nothing.
@@DA-nk6gx I couldn't have said it better myself
Yes I’ve been looking forward to this video ever since you gave an update on your Medium articles on your vlog!
Like always, another amazing video! Great content & easy way of putting it across! I definitely have picked up points to use on my UA-cam channel as well. Thanks! ✅
I'm glad you are doing so well. Of all the UA-cam videos I've watched about ways to make money, you come across as very honest, and truly trying to be helpful, most of them have a deceptive air about them. Keep it up, and great success to you!!
Ever since you posted the video saying you made like 4 cents, I was sooooo confused because I'd just started medium as well. My first article made $212, but each one after has only made about $1-4 so not much but huge difference from 0.04. Quality over quantity is always important but I just hate seeing my views plummet if I don't post in a while.
I hope you are more successful now, if not though, please try again~♡
I just watched your last video a few days ago and OMG I’m SHOOK! Congrats!
Looks like i'm going to put my writing skills out there lol 🤑
Felicia Lynne 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Always been curious about Medium. Thanks for making this one 🙏
Early as usual!!!! Boooy thats a huge amount!!!!!!!
I get emails about what to read from medium because I signed up after your first video, one of your articles was the top pick 🤯
Congrats on the podcast! I got questions...sent you some on Twitter DM
Sweet! I’m going to write an article on my two viral videos! Cheers for the info!!!
This is kinda insane. "It made above minimum wage' 😂
the best way to make money is to show people how to make money love you shelby You are smart
Mohamed Maftol probably the best way actually is to sell things with a very high profit margin...but yea this is turning out to be pretty lucrative too haha
@@ShelbyChurch yes i agree with you
I am not in any way criticising you. Kudos to you for earning 6K for your article. You give a lot of helpful advice for anyone who's primary focus is earning money through Medium. Since they changed the way in which earnings are calculated in the fall of 2019, the length of time viewers spend on an article is how Medium's algorithm calculates earnings to a great extent and 'claps' mean nothing- I don't even know why that icon is even still present on the platform. Short articles don't stand a chance of such earnings. Don't write poetry or fiction if you expect to earn anything through their partner program. Medium is full of articles such as yours, and yes, many of them are earning a substancial dime. But, just from a personal perspective, I find most of those articles utterly boring, and watching paint dry on an abandoned curb might hold my attention longer than reading a lot of them that Medium chooses to push forward on their platform.
Been watching your videos for awhile, so I know who you are...and I was so shocked when I saw your article on Medium's home page! It was after you posted the first video and I was like wow it really blew tf up
there are people out there living my dreams
That is crazy good money for writing articles. Even a couple hundred on an article is enough for people to treat it as a side hustle that could potentially replace their job.
Did the UA-cam version of that article made more money (in total or proportional to number of views)?
Ciprian Olariu ooo I want to know this
I got the Medium email with your article featured and was so happy for you! Congrats
She is really doing everything
It's not that we don't know a person can make money from these 2 platforms, it's that her revealing of all the detailed earnings with the screenshots that makes the content unique. Very helpful, thank you for the hard work.
You are very talented I’m not surprised.
Ahhh so happy to hear you and Monica are starting a podcast!! I LIVE for both of your UA-cam videos about life and money and adulting and I can't wait to have something new to listen to on my drives!
I want to start a podcast soon too...just saving up for the equipments😪
Opeyemi Sanusi for my podcast I bought a $80 yeti microphone ..: i also got a $20 microphone that clamps to the desk .. they are both USB microphones .. overall not sure what you’re trying to buy but you don’t have to spend too much just to get started ..
@@DoctorFashion Can you pls tell me more, like i don't have much handsome amount of money to spend on equipments so could you just suggest how to upload vidoes on your own? if it's possible to tell me on insta or it's possible here only? cuz i wanna earn some money and i'm not able to differentiate what topic should i choose for ny UA-cam vidoes
I made surprising cash for an article that I sat down and banged out in just 20 minutes. But this video has great tips for how to maximize efforts. You and Monica produce great content and share useful topical info that people want to know! Well Done you!
come on yall not that dumb they featured her article cuz she made an Ad for them for free (or paid?) and they are making a story line (Oh Look you can do that too JOIN US NOWWWWW) please tell me that you already understood what this whole video about.......
Edit: for 10 years on YT I would be making minimum 50k a month
WTH?
even if she didn't, the fact that she has over 1 mil subscribers on UA-cam made them decide it was worth it to promote her article (and let's not forget all those subscribers who checked the article out when she published the video)
Thanks for sharing your inspiring story, Shelby. Its shows that Medium writing is one of the best spots to hop on as a writer, I look at your recent video for giving an update about this article that earned a lot and I'm surprised that it still earning today.
I just had finished watching the first video about medium haha
Love this and would love another follow up in one month to get a full story. Thanks for all of your videos. You inspire to create more and use platforms like these so thank you.
maybe Medium saw your video and pushed it forward so you would make this video and more people would post on their site.... a conspiracy
Haha stay to the 2nd half of the video, I address this!
God I've been waiting for so long for someone to really PROVE it. Thank you. Love your videos.
Love you your so pretty and kind💓
you are such a positive and uplifting person! love the content keep up the great work:)
Read Zat Rana, Samyu Varsh and Ryan Holiday on Medium. Truly mind boggling stuff.
Shelby I am fairly confident this had nothing to do with your UA-cam account. It just so happens that it is a subject that has many people interested and you hit the nail on the head as they say. Your ability to explain things simply and straightforward with no fluff and long drawn out explanations is what resonates so well. I am happy for your success and wish you even greater with your future adventures. Let us know how the podcast is working out, maybe I will even listen in or subscribe. I have never found interest in them and have never listened to a single one in my life so that would be a new adventure for myself. God bless.
I’ve been publishing on Medium for about a month and I’ve been curated 3 times, so I consider that great, but they’ve only earned around $3.00. Publications is the key, I may write some pieces specifically for a certain publication.
But, while I don’t think Medium chose Shelby because she is a UA-camr, I think it helped her reach such a large audience. For one thing, without the channel she’d never be able to write that article about a video, and secondly, she has millions of subscribers, so more people know her name than my name. Basically, did Medium offer a bias towards a UA-camr? I doubt it, but her channel certainly has provided a leg up that most don’t have.
Yea it’s like it’s possible it helped, it probably did. But it’s totally still possible for anyone else to be curated and make money, Zulie and Casey being great examples
Shelby Church it really is. Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s encouraged me that patience will pay off, you’ve taught me a lot about the platform.
S S h o c K K 1999 I do, but how does that relate?
That'sawesome - I saw that on Medium recently and figured it was a promotion or similar - congrats on your success!
