read.cash taught me a lot.

Today, just while reading through articles of other members of this platform. I saw @McYusuf article and it actually gave me an inspiration on how to pen down my words. He wrote about five reasons for loving Read cash and believe me you; as I read through his article, it reminded me of some things I had wanted to talk about read; someday. Here it goes:

My journey so far:

I had always wanted to write about this probably when I'm already a year user on the platform or maybe a user with so many sponsors and probably at least with having above an hundred subscribers, but nay... I guess there are better plans.

read.cash was introduced to me by @Tomi-Ajax may God bless him for me. Funny enough we were to board a bus going to Iyanaipaja from Yaba, that was how we exchanged contacts, through which he saw my WhatsApp bio: "Christian Writer." It was there and then it was made known that I am a writer. And that was how @Ellawrites got to know about read.cash

Honestly speaking, it was rosy at first when I started... Rusty visited my very second article, but after that: boom! She visited no more... I got worried, I would always voice out to Ajax, asking questions upon questions, wondering if I was following the guidelines of this community. He would always tell me motivating words that actually calmed me down.

Next thing, was the engagements. It was so poor, I started feeling I wasn't writing well enough. Oh! I forgot to mention that I actually have low self-esteem. Before read.cash, I had always been writing on my Facebook page and WhatsApp status, my Instagram page was an addition. On Facebook. I dare not write lengthy articles. They'll never read it, they'll just click on a reaction (heart) and pass. No comments, no nothing. It was really frustrating. These things added to my low self-esteem, I started feeling I wasn't writing well enough. When read came into play, I decided to grab the opportunity with my full chest and so far so good... It's been really awesome; being on this platform. Though the beginning was never rosy and also I don't want to end up jubilating before the final whistle is blown... Anything can happen so let me remain calm and quiet.

Just like @McYusuf said... read.cash doesn't just help you financially, but it also gives you the chance or privilege to know more people, to explore and to learn more.

Things read.cash taught me and is still teaching me.

• Patience.

• Consistency.

• Engagements: Now, this is very vital, especially for newbies like me and others. You need to engage on people's articles, make friends via the comment section, learn to interact. Infact; I've noticed that this isn't just applicable to read alone, but to all other social media platforms. A non-fictional story to buttress on this:

Back then, on Facebook. I always post poems and short stories, but I realized that for the poems, I got minimum or no engagements at all. This made me feel bad, I knew what to do, but I still didn't do it... Read taught me this: "for others to come around and check what your article is all about; engage in theirs." It's a win win situation. Maybe if I had been engaging in all those Facebook articles from other Facebook users; I might prolly have had massive engagements on mine; from them also.

@McYusuf has said basically everything and every reason as to why I love read.cash but then again. In summary:

I'm so delighted to write on this platform, it's actually overwhelming.

Read; has helped me out in my writing skills and techniques, it has really been helpful. I guess now, I can call myself a blogger.

Thanks for reading.
