#1) $0.06/day - don't be jelly! #2) 3 months on the Medium Partner Program. #3) I have zero clue. That being said, my goal is to earn enought to be able to buy TWO cups of coffee when I go to the coffee shop to write. Then I can ask someone to go with me - effectively I will have "earned" a coffee date! Hahahaha! It's either that or buy a private jet. IDK.

All joking aside, great piece. It helps me understand the process a little more. Especially your analysis of poetry earnings. I didn't notice that until I read this. I have written more poems that essays. Thank you for a great thought stimulating piece.
