My earnings have dropped dramatically this year. Last year I consistently earned over $100 a month. Many months were over $200. I also snagged some bonuses and my highest month I earned over $900 with the bonus. And some of my stories in the past earned up to $700. Now I’m lucky if they reach $20. It is discouraging to struggle to get reads and views and earn small amounts that can’t even begin to cover your bills. It’s affected me to the point where I don’t want to write anymore. It’s not feeling fun. Yet, I force myself to keep going.
