My Read Mind

Hello friends and readers. Hope all is well with you. I've been busy which has been a bit of a struggle for me. Sometimes it's nice to look in the rear view mirror and see something disappear as we move along. Last week had that feeling and I'm glad to have a fresh new week.

Today I'm going to talk to you about how I tackle the functions of read dot cash. My purpose here is quite different from most here as you will see. I'll talk about how I priortize or my thoughts on the Read functions such as comments, reading, tipping, sponsorship, mentioning, and writing.

https://theconversation.com/uk/topics/mind-24007

Comments

This is my #1 priority out of all the tasks. I really enjoy the engagement. If I make a comment on an article I read I will always read your reply. Usually I leave it at that but sometimes I engage further. I apologize to some as I can get wordy sometimes 🀣

There are quite a few times I don't make a comment this is usually do to the heavy amount of articles I have to go through. If I made a comment to every article I read I would never get caught up.

I will always reply to my comments on my articles. The only time I usually don't if it is someone I think may be a spammer. I don't see that a lot though.

Other than engagement it's a quick task to do. I really appreciate the comments because it shows me that you enjoyed the article. Its important to me to reply back in a timely fashion to show you that I appreciate your time.

Reading

Alright this is my # 2 priority. I try to read articles in the order they come in. It can be a choir for me as I have quite a few people I subscribe to. It gets longer and longer to because I keep adding people to my read list. I wish there was an option to view oldiest to newest. It's no fun clicking next several times to get to the oldiest.

I enjoy reading everyone that is on my reading list. I really only have a few pet peeves. One is posting more than one article within 24 hours. Is it fair for the others who abide by the unwritten rule?

The other is people asking others to check out there articles like it's life or death. For me I don't like my system to be disrupted. It's just something that annoys me.

Tipping

Alright how many of you skipped to here? 🀣 I'm joking I don't expect anyone did. It's no secret I tip a little more than the normal user. What can I say I love to motivate and help others. Should I share with you my thought process on how I tip? Nah if I did I might be running around with a hobo stick with what little I would have left. You wouldn't want to put me in a bad place would you?

Sponsorship

I have only recently figured this out. I always thought those blocks automatically appeared on our articles 🀣 Actually thought no one wants to sponsor me. It didn't take long at all getting requests when I did that little $ on an article.

I'm currently not accepting anymore at this time. Im not a greedy person and strongly believe I should only be sponsored by the same number of people I sponsor which is 4. Actually one is in pending awaiting approval. So if your one of my regulars and have made my "Ber" month authors list check your sponsor request. If you don't want it reject it so I can sponsor someone else. No worries I'll continue to support you as I have.

I haven't completely decided yet how I will continue with my sponsorships yet. I was thinking of roating them out every month with someone new to share my appreciation. Just know I see my profile picture on your articles as a stamp of approval from me for others to read :)

Mentioning

I still remember my very first mention. It was kind of exciting for me, do you remember your first one? It's a great way to show appreciation to someone as long as your not overly doing it.

Now it's an everyday occurrence for me and I have to prioritize them as well. If it's in a new article I treat it as article I have to read. I'll get to it once I get caught up to it. Now if its in a comment or short message I'll respond to it rather quickly.

I will mention people from time to time. If I mention you in article and use you as part of a challenge article I will reward you with my standard fee once you comment. Now I don't reward when I mention an article of yours. The same thing goes ftor thanking you for something.

Almost always I mention only those I feel comfortable with. Only twice have I mentioned someone who I didn't have the much conversations with. I try to be careful with it so I don't look needy 🀣

Writing

This is one of my last priorities. It's not because I don't like to write I do. I just like reading and engaging more. It really doesn't matter to me if my article produces or not as long as I generates some comments so I can engage some. When I first started here I tried to be a dailey writer but as my journey continued here I have grown and got a bit of attention. A lot has to do with my personnel life as well. I work a lot of hours and keep myself busy. Sadly next month I will be lessoning my time here even more. I'm not leaving and will visit everyday but won't be getting through my entire read list. It just means I might not read your article for a few days.

I haven't run out of ideas what to write about either. I have like a dozen ideas written down and few others in my draft. I've decided not to write goals articles no more as well. I just want to be a free soul roaming and going with the flow.

That's all I got I think I did something like this in the past but my outlook and priorities have much adjusted.

Take care, October almost over and my birth month is right around the corner. Love you all ❀️

Comments

I do appreciate you @coolmidwestguy. You do right by this platform and your comments are always witty and well thought of. I'm sure it is a struggle getting through tons of notifications considering you have heaps of job. I am quite struggling with one full time. I am guilty of your pet peeve. But I do try to limit to 2x a day and that is only when I missed a days post. I have a structure OCD you see. If I let myself be lazy I'd end up just doing nothing for a week πŸ˜‚

Thank you for your appreciation. It's fun reading your daily journeys and your past vacation trips. The inside 24 hours thing is mostly for people I see doing it all the time. One person in particular has had upwards of 40 articles in one month. I no longer subscribe to that person. Never seen them visit here just once actually. I can say you can always work on articles here and keep them in draft than post them when the timing comes up or at at least post the next day early :) I know there is no rules against it but it does put a burdon on those that read a lot of articles . I'm ok if it's one a day under 24 hours because essentially that's 1 a day. When I see two sometimes 3 in a day with like 8 hours from each other I get a little irritated. Catching up is fine but I think anything under 15 hours should be the absolute minimum. Haha OCD I do to when it comes to my notifications. Just my thoughts I haven't noticed you abusing my pet peeve so your good hehe. Anyways the weekend almost here much to accomplish. I hope you enjoy yours again :)

I know what you mean though as I am kind of struggling catching up with mine. Yours should be worst as you are a chatty one πŸ˜‚ I mostly save my work as drafts the problem is when I get not drafts left to post.

Things have been choked up for me these days that I even comment on replies on my post for a few days but I don't leave without replying them and appreciating them for stopping by.

Writing, though is fun but it's difficult to always come up with new topics daily but I prefer not writing but to engage so much. I feel good with that.

To say the truth too, you have been amazing and generous personality on read and I wouldn't want you to force yourself here too. Just do the little you can and show up on articles when you have the chance.

The first word I can utter for you is your too much generous, I mean of all the users here I've been encountered since last year. It's my pleasure to meet you. Not a snob type like others lol. Not all writers here are really good in engaging because some are selecting only who they want to reply in their blogs, what the heck hahaha. I'm a type of person also don't forced anyone to like me because I'm good to the people who've been good to me all the time. I always treasure friendship even it's virtual. They can get my attention for a huge support as long as I'm not too busy as a full time mom.

Being rewarded is just a bunos but building a friendship is a blessed. Have a nice day my friend.

Good! I like commenting too, and it's not hard but interesting and as you do, I always reply people who comment my articles, it's the least we can do for people who have stopped and have dedicated part of their time to reading you. Reading all is becoming a hard task if we subscribe more people! It is also happening to me... I like writing and also I'm full of ideas, well, sometimes, just some routine or diary tasks, I like to change topics, it depends on the day. About sponsors still getting familiar... (at the beginning I didn't know how to show the sponsor box jajaja) and about tips, well I just can thank you 😊

Yes it's rare for me to do in one sitting. I have so many articles in draft that are far from being completed. I have a research article I plan on publishing but much work to be done on it yet.

For me, my priority is writing. I don't write for the tips, because when we don't engage, we don't get noticed by the bot (and I hardly have the time to comment or reply to comments these past months) so the tips are just cents... but I write because I have things I need to get out of my system!

I am also subscribed to many writers, and this makes it difficult. I scroll through the list of new posts when I have the time to log in and see which title catches my attention. And of course, if I read, I certainly can find time to comment and tip.

Writing can get things out of our system. I write for that sometimes.

Sounds fair and doable especially when writing does not come that easy so commenting is better. More engagement too. I don't know what read did but there are less spammers here. I noticed that too.

Posting 2 articles within 24 hours are okay, but make sure you put a huge gap in between. I know someone from my invite who used to post every 3-4 hours. In just a few weeks, he was marked as spam. That's considered greedy. Hehe.

I sometimes publish twice within 24 hours, but the gap is usually at least 18 hours. I did try 15 hours before, but I stopped doing so because I decided to save that article for the next day.

Btw, I will dm you later. Hehe.

Reading, writing and comment is my top here, I don't comment if I don't read because I don't wanna leave an inappropriate comment just to catch some attention. It may also put my account at risk. But sometimes even if I read the whole article I sometimes still didn't leave a comment, I'm just out of words. In terms of tipping, I tip according to the amount I have in my wallet, i don't earn that much and so it always depend on how much I have.
