Sites that paid me this month (Jan 2025)

Inspired by a similar post, I thought I'd do a roundup of the sites that paid me during January.

Here's the list of sites...

Medium ($XXX) - I'm a writer in the partner program. They pay me based on member reading time. Anyone can join as a writer but, not every country is in the Medium Partner Program. Outside of MPP though, there are other ways to monetize your writing: affiliate links, sell products and services, etc.

Newsbreak ($XXX)- I am in their contributor program and get paid based on the views my stories get. This is in the U.S. only I believe. I write news-based content. They pay based on the number of views your stories receive.

Gumroad ($XXX) - I have a digital products store here where I sell my ebooks and digital courses.

TikTok ($XXX) - I did a few brand deals on TikTok this month. TT didn't pay me but, brands that found my TT account paid for to create content for them. I also sold digital products on TT.

TikTok Shop ($XX) - one of my newest income streams. I'm a TikTok Shop affiliate. I get samples from TikTok Shop vendors, create videos about them on TT and earn commissions on the sales.

Instagram ($X,XXX) - I ran a brand deal and I sell digital products with my faceless Instagram account. I post short 3-4 second reels about 1-2 times a day about 5 days week.

Empire Flippers ($XXX)- I'm flipping a website there and one of the prospective buyers paid me to run a brand deal for them.

Threads ($XXX) - Threads does not pay me directly. I use Threads to sell my digital products - I post here and there throughout the month.

Mediavine ($XXX) - I blog and Mediavine is an ad network that earns me passive income by placing ads on my website.

PP ($XXX) - I will invoice customers directly for my digital products sometimes. Also, get paid affiliate commissions here.

There you go!
