Blogging Journey with BCH: July and August Report (feat. September updates)

I have already said to myself: *don't report anymore.* It has been overdue, and no one asked. *But I could not bring myself to settle not reporting my progress. Even if it's late, it's better than never.* **It has been a while since I wrote an article relating to my blogging and BCH journey.** It's mid-month of September, and nothing would stop me from sharing my journey for the past two months. *How did I improve? Where did I go wrong? What areas should I focus more? Have I gone far? Unless I publish a report about it, I would never know the answers to these questions.* This article will tackle about the overdue **report of my read.cash journey, alongside Bitcoin Cash, for the latest two months:** ****July**** **and** ****August 2021******.** For new readers of mine, I have started my journey in blogging last **April 8, 2021.** And like other amazing authors here, I also do a regular reporting of my progress MONTHLY. Well, for some reason, I was not able to focus on gathering information every month end because my work schedule got really piled up, and all I could do back then was to write usual articles. Just earlier this morning, I was able to sit it out and accumulate the two month data. I finally did it, everyone. So much with the introduction, I will make this quick. Let's get right into it. Previous Progress Reports **April-May**: **2 Months Here: A Summary of My Journey** https://read.cash/@Ellehcim/2-months-here-a-summary-of-my-journey-cd60e6c5 **June**: **June Highlights! Feat. Hello, Club1BCH!** https://read.cash/@Ellehcim/june-highlights-feat-hello-club1bch-e1ad4571 **4th Month in read.cash: JULY 2021** *Published Articles*: **23** *Highest Paid Article*: **Move Forward, Live Better** with **$28.90** worth of upvotes https://read.cash/@Ellehcim/move-forward-live-better-bef8531f *Accumulated BCH*: **0.66465496** *Income in Dollars* (based on conversion rate today, 09/14/21 at 3:12 p.m.): **$411.78** Market was doing so-so last August, and Rusty has been so generous in his visits. It was also the month I accumulated the most BCH, making it possible for me to achieve my **very first Bitcoin Cash in the beginning of August.** https://read.cash/@Ellehcim/1-bch-in-almost-4-months-finally-4f85b8fa I officially became the member of **#Club1BCH** last July 14. It is also an achievement to me.

https://read.cash/@Ellehcim/midweek-blessings-8c090a82 **My 100th subscriber came in the month of July**, too, as far as I could remember. Whoever that is, I am also grateful. I am on to the next milestone, 200 subscribers. *I am not as fast as others' progress, but who cares, right? My own competition is my past records.* July has 31 days, and knowing I was only able to publish 23 articles means I missed 8 days. Not bad. For sure, I did better the next month. Nothing more worth noting in July, let us move on to month of August. **5th Month in read.cash: AUG 2021** *Published Articles*: **26** *Highest Paid Article*: **Michelle Answers Difficult Questions from Her Fellow Writers** with **$16.18** worth of upvotes https://read.cash/@Ellehcim/michelle-answers-difficult-questions-from-her-fellow-writers-b527611f *Accumulated BCH*: **0.29769187** *Income in Dollars* (based on conversion rate today, 09/14/21 at 3:28 p.m.): **$184.43** I wrote more articles last August, but my earnings decreased by a whopping 2.23 times. Maybe I did something Rusty did not like, or maybe it had something to do with his new tipping system. Nevertheless, it's still a plenty amount and I am still thankful. **Our very own "EXC" mark for every original articles disappeared last 18th of August, 2021.** No EXC mark is shown starting from my article **On Her 23rd Year** up to now. Honestly, it still feels weird not seeing that mark, but I still learn to get used to it. https://read.cash/@Ellehcim/on-her-23rd-year-6f859dea

*For those who did not experience this, EXC or "Exclusive" mark on articles means, that* ***article is first published on this platform, and is original.*** Following the loss of this mark recently, is the trend of **using plagiarism checkers online**, to give assurance to the readers of the work's originality. ***There are really noticeable changes in the month of August. It would still remain as my favorite blogging platform, regardless.*** **Other Remarkable Milestones** This part will talk about my own achievements for the last two months, up to now, September 14, as I was not able to keep track of last months' accurate data. *Sponsors:* **18** *Sponsees:* **10** *Subscribers:* **170** *Affiliates*: **8** (no income from affiliates) *Badge:* **Silver diamond badge**, within top 50 tippers **I have got 18 amazing sponsors overall.** As far as I can remember at least two or more did come and go. Maybe because their sponsorships expired and they were not able to renew, or maybe they figured I am not that deserving anymore. LOL, hoping the reason is the first one. Thanks you so much for my supportive sponsors, *especially those who've trusted me since day one.* I may not be able to always see on my notifications, but I am always grateful. **20 or more sponsors would be a new milestone,** and a dream come true for me, so if you are thinking of adding to my block, hesitate no more. I got you! I almost forgot my own goal of sponsoring at least fifteen users. **Until now, I only have 10 sponsees.** I am looking for new authors to support, as my way of giving back to this platform. *Within this month of September, I hope I could successfully sponsor thirty (30) users, or more.* **On my way to 200 subscribers, 30 more**. I promise to do my best to deserve your following, that's for sure. **I have 8 affiliates, but I don't think any of them are active.** I personally find it hard to onboard new users in this platform, if only they knew how blessed I am because of this. This won't make me give up on trying. One day, they will be thankful they chose to stay and work hard, of course. *Rewards only come to those deserving.* If you want to start your journey now, register **here**. Let me know in the comments, I am very happy to help you. https://read.cash/r/Ellehcim **I have successfully went in the list of the Top 50 Tippers.** Being one of the first ten is still a long way to go, but who knows? I might get that gold badge. *Get ready Sir Marc. (Just kidding.)*

**September Updates** Since I have written this report in September, might as well share some current updates about this month, too. I have recently went in and dived into the world of Metamask, specifically in **SmartBCH**. I am indeed a noob, but thanks to the detailed guides here, I was able to successfully setup my own wallet.

If you still don't have a Metamask wallet set up, you can check out these guides. They are detailed, and I learned a lot from these ones. **The Ultimate Guide to SmartBCH for Newbies** by @MoreGainStrategies https://read.cash/@MoreGainStrategies/the-ultimate-guide-to-smartbch-for-newbies-3a7de4b6 **How to set up smartBCH Network on Metamask and smartBCH - CoinFlex Bridge** by @carisdaneym2 https://read.cash/@carisdaneym2/how-to-set-up-smartbch-network-on-metamask-and-smartbch-coinflex-bridge-44fdd46f **SmartBCH (SEP20) Tokens You Shouldn't Miss** by @Jane https://read.cash/@Jane/smartbch-sep20-tokens-you-shouldnt-miss-445d6d63 I have been giving my eyes more rest as I had more eye strains than before within this week alone. I rarely stay up late for airdrops now, and I was not able to check my Metamask wallet from time to time. After I got some good rest, I will be more attentive though. Lastly, **my articles recently exceeded 5,000 views!** Yay!

**This has been my** ***try-hard*** **report summary. I hope you got to learn new insights from it. Hopefully, I will be more consistent to report every month-end from now on.** **Thank you so much for reading. Until next time!**
