It really hurts when you invest all your time into blogging having hope that after that blog you are going to earn a lot income and then you finally finish the article post on read.cash and no one give you even 0.0001 USD worth of bitcoin cash. You ask your self that all the time you spent thinking and writting,did it change anything???

Ok, honest feedback here. I don't mean to offend you, I understand you're trying your best.

Well, there are a few reasons for that. First of all, some people who get paid here aren't paid because of their articles, but rather because many people know them already because of YEARS of great WORK and want to support them.

Those people worked years, getting people to follow their ideas. I've personally been in Bitcoin space since 2013, learning and learning and learning. And I'm still learning. It's just that things that I'm learning are much more advanced.

Secondly, most articles that get a lot of upvotes are very original thoughts. Your posts cover very basic information about Bitcoin Cash and often don't even capitalize Bitcoin Cash correctly (you write it as "bitcoin cash" or "Bitcoin cash"), like here https://read.cash/@Cryptoboy/advantages-of-bitcoin-cash-over-bitcoin-e0e14fdb for example.

There are millions of people blogging and most of them don't earn anything.

If you really want to stick to blogging...

...you need to improve your writing and find something that you're really passionate about. Something that interests you deeply, but something that also interests other people.

It's just that - everyone with Bitcoin Cash here already knows everything that you're writing, so they don't feel compelled to support you. Learn more.

Fourth, you need to promote yourself too. Many people here (including me) not only publish articles, but also have active Reddit and Twitter accounts. Get them, start talking to people there, start reading others, occasionally insert a link to your article and ask for a feedback. Listen to people, even if they'd tell you it sucks. Sometimes people are just bad, sometimes they know better and just tell you the truth. Try to improve. Try to be helpful.

It's a hard work. Take this article for example: https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/bitcoin-cash-the-people-66e43350 It took 5 days to compile the whole list, I listened to many people suggesting whom to add, how to improve. The result.. well, I'd better be flipping burgers at $3.88 for 5 days. But it was worth it for me, because it's a topic that interests me deeply. I would've written this for free.

As soon as you find something so interesting that you'd write it for free - you might have a chance there to become successful via blogging. Maybe not via read.cash, maybe via Patreon, YouTube, somewhere else, but most popular bloggers have the presence everywhere and cross-promote it non-intrusively.

But, beware the topics that are too easy, like gaming for example. There are too many people writing, recording, blogging, tweeting about that..

The basic law of supply and demand is the same here. You need to find a niche where you are/can be an expert, but at the same time, you're not one of a million experts on the same topic (like any popular game).

Again, blogging is not for everybody. Many people dream of being bloggers and earning, but it's hard work in the end. Sorry to disappoint you. Any easy work is paid very little.

People has the freedom to choose which content they'll reward as much as you have the freedom to decide if putting your effort on blogging is worth or not. If you don't feel your effort rewarded you can choose to improve your content or stop posting but what you can't do is putting the blame on the rest of the people using the platform.
