I Finally Made the Triple-Digit Club This Month on Medium
But what does that mean, really?
“Congratulations! Your story has been boosted on Medium.”
This email was both a surprise and a sweet victory to my ravaged writer’s soul.
I wasn’t trying to be boosted. I was simply writing about a struggle I frequently face.
The success of a boosted article — and the triple-digit earnings that came with mine — is fleeting.
I know that.
But what a rush!
Opening the app to earnings much greater than my normal fare felt like an endless joyride.
My story seemed unstoppable, its views skyrocketing beyond my normal readership.
Then, just as fast, the ride was over.
The energy and momentum dwindled, like vapor in the air.
I wish I could pinpoint the exact reason my post was boost-worthy.
Was it because I talked openly about my propensity for negativity at both a personal and professional level?
Maybe it was the takeaway of why we should weed these thoughts from our lives.
I may never know why this post was more well-received than others of a similar vein.
