ditto ditto. But I'll also add - continue the good work, the money / meta / shitty advice stuff pays but it has a plateau. I've made $50-100 on such stuff aimed at money-hungry / meta / medium writers etc. but the REAL $$ - 2 viral stories - one near $2,000 so far and one $1,500 were both NONE of that and genuine stuff. Continue the good stuff, some of it will take off at some point - you won't know how, when or what - but it will pay. I say this from far less experience than you but still nearly 500 stories, and 5-10 months of $500+ and 2 months of $1500 + (thanks to 2 viral stories). Write for the love of writing, or for the money - the intersection of the two will come -but not too often.
