I got ghosted by a client without getting paid for the three articles I did for him. 

For context, I got a client from this group. He was looking for a writer, so I reached out to him. He asked to move the conversation to Discord or Telegram, and we continued there.

Now I know I should have asked for a full or partial advance payment first before kicking off the project. But I was just an idiot. In my 5 years of writing experience, this is the first time something like this has happened to me. The articles amounted to around $280. I don’t care too much about the money, but am just frustrated by not getting a text back, even though I see him active/online every other day.

Anyway, is there a way to get paid? Alternatively, I’m thinking to post those articles on my Medium. What do y'all suggest?

Edit: I've realized I should mention the client's name so everyone can be aware of. His username on Reddit is: Successful-Lead954 and on Discord: digital_dan

I have screenshots of our conversation which I can post if need be.

Hi there!

I'm going to be here in Karachi for a month in July, and looking for a comfortable apartment in DHA. The apartment should have an AC, kitchen, and a washing machine.

If you have any leads, please DM me with pictures and monthly cost of renting your place. If you're a host, please drop your listing link. Also, I would like to visit the accommodation before finalizing. Thanks!
