I am truly excited that I am going to earn more than $10 during my first month of the medium partner program and that too for a story that I published 6 months back. So, here is my story.

Recently I moved from India to the USA on a work visa as part of my full-time job. Since the USA is eligible for partner program earnings, I thought I would give it a try. To earn money for previously published articles, I updated meter your story settings for some articles.

I still couldn’t believe one article I published in January could go viral in June. I got around 3K views alone in the month of June. Since I joined the MPP on 1st July, I have almost missed the earnings of close to 30$ for that month. But still, no regret as my earnings for this month so far is around $10.69. This is my first month for MPP, and despite my novice skills in writing, it is quite respectable.

Below is the story that earned me in case you want to read it.
