Random readcash hints

As the title implies this is going to be a random post. I'm going to touch different aspects. I started writing this a long time ago but i haven't been chanced to complete it. But after answering some questions from friends on WhatsApp about some of these things I decided to complete the piece.

Let go straight down to business...

Sponsorship link

I need not go over the benefits of sponsorship again. I did that in this article. Most of us here don't have another website to promote, so we promote our readcash and noisecash accounts. This is understandable and a nice thing to do since we've got no personal site to advertise or promote.

However, it appears some of us are missing the how to set the link. The URL for both noise and read has their unique style. If you are adding a link to your readcash page it can be two ways

1. read.cash/@HappyBoy

2. read.cash/r/happyboy

While for noisecash it is

1. noise.cash/u/Valour

But on the sponsorship page, you're required to add " https:// " before either of the two. I've seen people put links to one of their articles while some put the homepage. I hope this helps.

Saving Drafts and mistakes in publishing

When Moderating a community I noticed some of the articles published are always lesser than 2 minutes read and when I try to proofread them, I realised the post looks like it wasn't intended to be published yet. I wondered why it keeps on reoccurring until I started drafting articles for later use.

There is a probability of clicking the "Publish Article" button instead of the "Save as Draft" button. Most likely that's the error most people make.

The solution to this is "Don't add a lead image to your draft" without the Lead image, whenever you mistakenly click publish button, a notification appears like this-

Sorting out Notifications

When I got back, I met over 2000 unattended notifications. Where to start from became a problem.

-notifications of affiliate payments

-Expired sponsorships

-Moderation

-Mentions

-Comments and replies

-Upvotes

-Posts from those I subscribed to

I can't start marking all as read. If I'm to do that, I will miss some important notifications and it is also stressful, for the notification page shows 10 notifications per page. 2000 divided by 10. Do the maths.

The solution was to use the "Filter" in selecting the ones I wanted. It will be bad if I don't check out my mentions to see if there is something I'm missing or that requires my attention. I still haven't cleared all notifications, but I've been able to sort out some.

Sourcing

Most people know this already but for the sake of the few that doesn't, I'm adding it. As we all know referencing is very important on the website. Plagiarism and the use of illegal content is a great offence, so when using pictures from a website or citing parts of a written text, it's advisable to put the link.

How to go about this

Copy the link to the picture or text to your clipboard. Then come to your drafted article and highlight the part you want to house the link. After highlighting it the picture below appears. Click the 6th icon (the 2 rings laying on top of each other) and paste the link there. Click "go" or "enter" on your keyboard depending on if it's the phone or system you're using.

Adding Topics to your article

This is a part I'm guilty of in time past. After writing an article, it's normal to add Topics it is related to. After clicking the "Add Topic" button, the system suggests topics to you based on two things:

1. Trending Topics

2. Recent articles you read

Don't just click each suggested Topic. Click those related to your post alone and if none relates to it, type what you want and add. I once picked Topics that affected an ongoing story by another user on the site. I innocently picked the suggested topics not knowing I'm interfering with an ongoing series.

Communities

To add to a community, you must join the community first. Note your article must relate to what the community is all about...don't break the rules of the community.

If your article isn't related to the goals of the community, it will be rejected. That doesn't mean your Article won't receive any audience. The people that subscribe to you will still see your post even if it isn't accepted into the community you wanted. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, hours or days before your article will be approved into a community.

If the admin notices that you constantly post your content to the community and your posts are reliable and meaningful, that is -you can be trusted not to break the community rules, he/she gives you automatic permission to post to the group anytime.

However, if one of your posts is deleted from the community by the admin, you lose your exclusive rights to post to the community without moderation.

Let's stop here for today. Till next time guys...
