I think you have nothing to worry about. You make real money because you are an excellent writer, you post a lot of articles and I’m guessing you have an extremely loyal following. Good for you!

You clearly are capable of posting quality work on almost a daily basis and you have a lot of important things to say. I’m not talented enough to do that and my life doesn’t contain that many note worthy moments that Medium readers would want to read about. I’m cool with that. We are who we are.

I’ve only read a couple of your articles so far, but that’s all it took for me to say to myself, “This guy is the real deal.” Don’t worry about the stats. Keep doing what you do. I think reading your work may help me to become a better writer. Maybe someday I’ll be able to write almost as well as you, if I keep practicing.
