I have been writing on Medium and other platforms for a year now, but I feel like they are changing. These changes are making companies like Medium and Quora more profitable, but writers hardly get any money.

In India, these platforms are not even paying properly; I don't know if someone will say that they are getting good money from Medium, Quora and Substak in India because all these platforms' payment methods, stripe and stipe, are not fully avoidable in India.

I feel like Substack is a good place to write content and earn some pennies nowadays, but it's fully dependent on Stipe, and because of that, it's hard to get money from Substack in India.

I have also talked to the stripe team, but they will be fully in India by 2025. They are planning to go into full mode in India. Till now, they only provide accounts on an invite basis.

I tried to ask the team to activate my account, but they haven't yet activated it.

There are still so many blogging platforms in the world, and there are more coming every year, but still, there are hardly any platforms that allow proper blogging and help writers earn more in India.

I have been facing the same challenge because I have also used WordPress, Medium, Quora, LinkedIn, and Substack.

Most of them provide earning opportunities, but these opportunities are too dependent on something that is hard to earn. Even after working so hard, you hardly get paid pennies, and your work is also under control.

Some platforms are shifting fully to video or other video modes, so what will people like me and writers do? It's becoming very hard for writers to earn money these days.

I don't know how this problem will be solved in the future, but today, it's a big issue for writers, and I know most of them are facing these challenges.

AI is less of a challenge than these half-backed blogging platforms. Substack has solved the problem to some extent but not fully.

There are so many blogging platforms in the world, and there are more coming every year, but still, there are hardly any platforms which solve all the problems, and we can really do it.

Some are trying their best, like Ghost, but for non-techies, it's a challenge in itself because you have to see the code and use some functionalities if you want to monetize your blog.

So, I have been facing the same challenges over the years, and I am still waiting for them to be resolved. Let's see if they will be resolved or not in the upcoming times.

I will also keep updating these blogs. I am finding ways to make it easy for writers to reach out to people because not all writers know tech, how to do SEO and other things for tech-savvy platforms.

Stay tuned and updated.
