- robertlagrant 5y agoWhere should they write that pays?
- yurishimo 5y agoHow much does medium pay? I didn’t even know that was an option!? Good ole Google Ads on a WordPress blog seems fine historically. At least substack loads fast…
- door103 5y agoNot everything needs to be about money. Software engineers get pretty absurd salaries already. Most of the high quality blogs I’ve seen are pro bono.
- convolvatron 5y agowriting is a craft. you need practice (which i'm really quite out of). writing is a power. even though literacy seem down - you can use this to make your point. not just to convince people, but to spark discussions that allow us to try to chip away to get to the underlying truth of the matter. face it - most of the authors on medium aren't really insightful or entertaining enough to get paid. there is plenty of room in society for open mic nights
- robertlagrant 5y agoWhy are you mentioning software engineers?
- matkoniecz 5y agoSubstack seems to be an option, is less user-hostile. Though I would not expect some piles of money unless you have an army of invested readers.
