Firstly, any information you need about this platform you can find in articles on this platform.

On January 24, I received the following X (formerly Twitter) DM:

Hey Joel,

I recently read your article about grieving and wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading it. I’m also really sorry to hear about the loss of your wife.

Your passion for Medium shines through in your writing, and it’s clear that you have a natural talent. But, if I had to guess, you probably want more people to read your writing so you can get paid what you deserve.

As someone who’s been on Medium for a while and has gained over 45,000 followers and millions of views, I understand the struggles of getting your articles noticed and making money from writing. So, I wanted to reach out to discuss my affordable Medium mentorship program to help you achieve similar levels of success.

The program is tailored to help ambitious writers (like you) earn more money, build a larger following, and master the Medium algorithm. I’ll also leave detailed private notes on your drafts, help you generate ideas for new articles, and much more.
