Thankful for April showers

Here goes my earnings for this month here in read.

I had a total earnings of worth USD212.20 with an average of USD6.85 per article. I was able to write 31 articles. There are times that I wrote two articles a day. As you know, I wanted to meet the 365 articles in a year. I started late since the first few months I have not been that active. That's why I am playing catch up. I should have written more. However, I was not able to write for three days I think because we were on vacation that time. When its vacation, enjoy every moment being offline. Why spoil it? Good thing I did write more than once a day on some days for if I didn't, I would've written less than 30 articles.

My earnings this month is actually lower than last month by some USD7.00. That's a big difference already but it's all good. I'll try and do better next time.

Of the USD212.20, I only got USD135.00. I have to withdraw USD100.00 about halfway through the month because some materials are needed to be bought. These are electrical stuff that is to be installed in the house. However, until now, the guy who was supposed to install those is still busy. The rest of that was distributed to you all and the USD35.00 is left in my wallet.

Note though that in order to complete the USD100.00 at that time, I have to combine what I have earned in noise to come up with that amount.

I have accumulated 970 likes, 1388 comments/replies and 1766 people have seen those articles.

I'm trying to make a more detailed report regarding my monthly performance here so I added those numbers.

I have also increased the number of my subscribers. I now have 507.

Black pen and black coffee had the most number of earnings at USD15.82.

You can't trust me with your money. Today I lost USD19.41 had the most number of likes.

To have a peaceful mind has the most number of comments/replies.

Trying to remember those days is the most seen of them all.

I am now 10 months here in read and I'm nearing my one year. Time flies really quickly and I'm still thankful that read is still going strong.

In other platforms, I started writing there too.

A place for coffee and campfire was noticed by the curators and it was featured in their list. You can check it here. To be noticed or mentioned or featured is enough for me. That helps in boosting my articles and to bring traffic to my articles as well.

So imagine my happiness. I was more than thrilled when our trip to Buscalan made it to the top three of pinmapple's travel digest! That was also my first time to upload a video in 3speak. You can check the list here and discover wonderful places to travel. There are so many great writers there just like here in read that's why to be recognized lifts the spirit. It's hard to be recognized there because of the number of writers. I don't mind though for I am not looking for recognition but to be included once in a while is a pleasure for sure.

Simple pleasures like these make writing in hive a more fun experience. This is what I miss back in Steemit.

For my other activity outside the virtual world, I have not been able to get back to doing my walking routine since last week. I hope I can start that again tomorrow. However, when we were on vacation, we did a lot of walking that have not been recorded in my actifit or sweatcoin apps. There was one time though. I didn't bother recording since I will not be able to upload it anyway for phone networks in most of the places we have been to is weak to none. Plus, I have to conserve my battery's phone for I have used it a lot in talking photos and videos.

Also, I was happy to tick off one of the places in my list that I wanted to visit - Buscalan, Tinglayan, Kalinga. Hoping for more travels soon!

How about you? How are your earnings for this month of April?

Next month's goal is to continue writing one a day or probably two. More travels maybe but I would have wanted more investments. Let's see what the next month will bring.
