Article number 2 and 3 are where to place your attention and consider writing (for now), you can see the read ratio for the first is 69% - so although the number one viewed story was seen more, it’s read ratio was lower.

69% of people who opened that story were compelled to finish it. There’s something about the story that makes them do this. It wasn’t curated, so it was likely the story about writing…. but the next one was curated and had a read ratio of above 50%.

Read ratio is the most important metric (in my mind at least) - if mine drops below 45% then I know there’s something to work on. It’s probably too long or the title and the article don’t quite match up.

All of the stories were curated suggesting you know how to write and format - and you now need to replicate those sorts of stories. Write 3 of those stories per month at $40 a go and you’re in the over $100 a month club. That’d be a better use of your time than an article a day which drops off and doesn’t convert into readers or followers.

Keep at it. Find your rhythm. You got this.
