Banji Alo, I inspected your screen shot. The reason you only received $4.04 for the 2.3k views. They were 92 % external and 8% internal.
If the views were flipped, with an average read time of 3 min 35 sec. You would have receive $100 or more. Of course depending on the % of reads.
Medium articles are paid based on Member Reading Time. If you notice your Member reading time was only 1 hr 25 min.
All is not lost my friend. That one article could have landed you in the $100 Club. Flip the script on the Internal vs External views, you will be smiling all the way to the bank.
Keep up the amazing writing. Cheers.
Sincerely,
Timothy Kincaid
