Hi Mbarek, nice to meet you. I am not sure I am qualified as a writing coach but I will share with you some personal thoughts on this if it will help. I do not expect to make a lot of money on this site. I have consistently been in the over $100 percentage since the second month I have done this (about a year now) but if I make enough to buy a few bottles of good wine a month I call it a success.

My goal with Medium is to use it improve my writing. I write books and make my living as a writer/speaker but during the year on Medium my writing has improved. I also use Medium as an outlet for my poetry, a hobby that I love and I have found a small following here.

Looking at your work, the ideas are good. I think you see what it takes to create a good piece of work. I do think your English usage gets in the way of the quality of your work. For example, your headline, “Is the 9th of May will be the end of Coronavirus.” The English is incorrect and that holds back the power of your message: “Will May 9 be the end of coronavirus?” or “Will Coronavirus Die in May?”

I assume you are writing in a second language, which is impressive, and it appears you have good credentials too, so if you want more readership you might have someone read and edit your work to clean up a few of the usage mistakes. You might also use a headline analyzer too. I use this tool on every article and it helps.

Medium might be the perfect tool to use to improve your English writing, but are you writing in your native language too and publishing on Medium in both languages?

I would also recommend to new writers to read the authors you like, follow them, comment on their work and they will also do the same for you. It took me most of the year to find a rhythm on Medium so four months might not be long enough to find out how good you can be. I look at Medium as a personal challenge and a vehicle to improve my work, and if I make some money I am happy too but the subjects I choose will never get me into the bigger money and I am okay with that as long as I keep getting better.

Hope this helped Mbarek. Thank you for the read and I hope you keep writing here. Thom
