Platforms like Medium make it easier than ever to earn a living from writing.

My guest on this episode of the podcast is Michael Thompson,  a career coach and writer from the United States who emigrated to Barcelona, in Spain.

He's also the editor of a popular publication on Medium called Entrepreneur's Handbook and has written dozens of articles that have gone viral on Medium.

Mike and I chatted about how he found himself moving to Barcelona from the US and how that move set off a chain of events that uncovered a love for writing.

We also chat about how he got started with Medium and turned his writing into a full-time profession.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How Mike losing $250,000 ultimately led to him becoming a writer
• Why a good title is as important as a good article
• Having options so that not all of your writing is just Medium
• The number one mistake writers make when submitting an article to a Medium publication
