That's not true. I'm a nobody, and until April, I was doing a measly $45 to $65 per month, then I hit $128 and won the $500. Then the next month I basically hit $3800 then $500, then $2100 then $500, but now I'm going down again.

I think I was lucky with a viral article, but my payment has definitely improved. My followers keep increasing, and I do get at least 10 to 20 hours reading every day. Sometimes even 30 hours. I'm not in the thousands anymore, but am in the hundreds.

I don't write about cats being crazy, and I'm not a popular writer. So I think that one just has to be lucky, and through that luck, find people who genuninely like to read one.
