Thanks to various new and old online platforms writers can now monetize their content by earning not only FIAT but also cryptocurrency. While the initial earnings from these online platforms might be modest, consistent effort and engaging content can lead to the amount you earn growing. Not only can you start earning a decent amount over time from posting but these platforms also provide an excellent opportunity to promote referral links, helping you build passive income from readers who enjoy your work and enjoy the projects you talk about.

In this article, we’ll explore the advantages and disadvantages of these platforms, discuss strategies for boosting your earnings, and delve into the world of referral links and passive income.

It is good to remember that this is not going to happen overnight. I am not promising you riches but a way to improve your income slowly one post at a time.

Exploring the platforms

Sharing your content on a variety of online platforms offers writers the chance to monetize their content with fiat, cryptocurrency, gift cards, and digital content. As technology grows so does the amount of ways we can earn from home. In this section, we will explore five popular options for sharing your content and getting it noticed. If you do not have enough followers to earn a decent amount from each post then sharing it on more platforms will allow you to start earning from people clicking your links. This is called affiliate marketing.

Medium

I want to start off with the Blogging platform Medium. Medium is one of the best ways to get your voice out there. You will not earn Crypto from your work on Medium but you do have the chance to earn money directly to your bank account every month after you have reached 100 or more followers. The best part about Medium at least for me is the number of affiliates I have made from my articles. Not only is Medium a big name in the blogging world so people trust it but it has a filter that only allows trusted websites to be shared on the platform. This lets you know that Medium is a safe place to find decent projects. It is always good to do your own research because not everyone has your best interest at heart.

To earn with Medium you will need to have 100 or more followers. Once you reach this amount you can join their Partner Program. This will allow you to start monetizing your content. Before you reach 100 followers I just suggest sharing your referral links to your favorite sites you use and love. This will allow you to start earning a small amount before you get your articles earning money.

When you reach 100 followers you will not be making anything life-changing but you will make enough to see progress and know making money through content is possible. It also depends on how well your article does and how many people read your article. Medium does not use advertising to pay its creators. Medium has a subscription that is $5 a month. Medium uses the money they make from subscribers to pay their writers. The more people who read your article that has a Medium subscription the more you will make.

Read.cash

Read.cash is a platform where users can earn Bitcoin Cash (BCH) for writing articles and engaging with content. read.cash has a special place in my heart because it was one of the first blogging websites I used to start earning Crypto. There are a couple of ways of earning with this platform. You can be tipped by random readers, you can be tipped by something called the random rewarder (the amount you get from this is random), and last but not least through people clicking your referrals.

With a focus on cryptocurrency and a growing user base, Read.cash offers a promising environment for crypto enthusiasts and bloggers alike. It may not be as widely recognized as Medium, which could limit the reach of your content. This is why it is a good idea to post your content on multiple platforms.

Payments are almost instant to your wallet of choice and fees for withdrawing are pretty much not there which makes it a good option to add to your posting routine.

Publish0x.com

Publish0x is a crypto blogging platform that allows writers and readers to earn in multiple cryptocurrencies, including Ample, ETH, and SPOT. Payments are generated through reader tips, which do not require readers to spend their own money. This tipping process is provided through contributors to the website.

The reader is the one who tips the writer. When you tip you have the choice of giving yourself more, or the writer more. It all depends on how much you have enjoyed the article. I always try to give at least 60% to the writer no matter how good or bad the article is. Publish0x’s unique tipping model encourages content sharing and engagement. However, earnings can be unpredictable, as they rely on reader tips rather than a set payment structure.

PublishOX is a great place to get your foot in the door of Crypto and learn from others and earn some Crypto along the way.

What is great about PublishOX is that you can withdraw your ETH and AMPL to Kucoin. If you do not use Kucoin for your exchanges then I suggest checking it out by clicking this link. The Minimum withdrawal for your ETH and AMPL if you are using Kucoin is only $0.50. If you are trying to send it directly to your main wallet then you will need to accumulate at least $5 worth.

When you are ready to withdraw your SPOT it is a different process. I personally am letting my SPOT sit in my account until PublishOX decides to switch the Crypto you earn from SPOT to something more widely used. They have switched the types of Crypto you can earn a couple of times since I started using the platform and it has been an easy process. If you have any of the amount of Crypto they are not going to be using anymore then they just switch it to one of the projects already being used such as ETH, AMPL, or whatever new project they decide to include.

PublishOX is a great place for writers and readers to start earning Crypto without investment. All you need to do is write an interesting article that is genuine and not created with the help of AI. Make sure your article is interesting and made by you and the sky is the limit. If you are just trying to read then you can use PublishOX to learn about people, projects, and much more while helping the writers earn from their content and you earn from your engagement.

GdayFam.live

G’day Fam is a newer platform that enables users to earn XRP for writing and engaging with content. I have not been using G’day Fam for very long but I am happy with the results from this website so far and plan on using it for the long term. I make around 1 XRP per article which I think is worth the time it takes to post.

As an emerging platform, G’day Fam offers the potential for early adopters to establish themselves and grow their audience while also earning XRP in the process.

However, its smaller user base may limit the number of views you will ge, and the platform’s long-term success is not guaranteed. I do believe though every platform has to start somewhere and with how easy to use and rewarding this platform can be I think the sky is the limit with G’day Fam.

The setting up process for this website is a little confusing at first. I will try to walk you through the process in the video version of this article which you can find at the beginning of this article.

Ecency (HIVE Blockchain)

Ecency is one of many social platforms on the HIVE blockchain. HIVE is a little more confusing than your average blockchain project when it comes to creating content and setting up your wallet, but if you are determined you will find a way. I will go over some of the things I think are important about Ecency in the video at the beginning of this article. There is a lot to go over so it will be easier to go over it in a video. Here are the basics of the HIVE blockchain.

The HIVE Blockchain is a growing blockchain project that focuses on content creation and social interaction. This is not all it is used for though.

The HIVE blockchain is a decentralized platform designed to create online communities, creative content, and social interaction. Established in 2020 as a hard fork from the Steem blockchain, HIVE was created in response to concerns over centralization and censorship on the Steem platform. The primary objective of the HIVE blockchain was to build a censorship-resistant, decentralized ecosystem that prioritizes user control and fair distribution of rewards.

At its core, HIVE operates using Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus algorithm, which allows it to achieve high transaction throughput and lower energy consumption compared to other consensus algorithms like Proof of Work. In the HIVE ecosystem, users can create and vote on content, as well as delegate their voting power to trusted community members called “witnesses.” These witnesses are responsible for validating transactions, securing the network, and ensuring its overall stability and integrity.

One of the most popular ways to engage with the HIVE blockchain is through blogging and content creation. Platforms like PeakD, Ecency, and Hive.blog serve as user-friendly interfaces for users to create, curate, and share content on the HIVE blockchain. By contributing high-quality content, users can earn HIVE tokens as rewards through a mechanism known as “Proof of Brain.” This mechanism evaluates the value of content based on community votes, ensuring that creators are fairly compensated for their contributions.

In addition to blogging, the HIVE ecosystem supports various other applications, such as decentralized finance (DeFi) services, gaming, and NFT marketplaces. The versatility of the HIVE blockchain makes it an attractive option for developers and users alike, as they can leverage its decentralized infrastructure to build and engage with a wide array of applications and communities.

Each of these platforms provides unique opportunities for writers to monetize their content. Choosing the best platform for your needs will depend on factors such as your target audience, writing style, and preferred payment method. I also think it is a good idea to share your content on all of these platforms. This is a great way to reach a wider audience and grow your name on multiple platforms. Ecency

Earning potential and growth

While entering the world of monetization writing platforms can be exciting, it’s essential to manage your expectations regarding earnings. Starting with small earnings is common, but with consistency, focus on delivering quality content, and interacting with others, you can increase your income over time. Here are some key factors to consider for maximizing your earning potential and growth.

Starting small and increasing over time — It’s natural for initial earnings to be modest, but don’t let this discourage you. As you continue to write and engage with other users, your audience and earnings will likely grow. Remember, consistency and patience are crucial to long-term success.

Tips for growing your earnings — To boost your income, focus on creating high-quality, engaging content that resonates with your target audience. Regularly publishing articles can also help you maintain visibility and attract new readers. Additionally, networking with other writers and promoting your work on social media can further expand your reach.

Importance of consistency and quality content — Your audience is more likely to support you and engage with your work if you consistently deliver valuable content. Prioritize quality over quantity, and invest time in researching, editing, and polishing your articles. This approach will help build your reputation and increase reader loyalty.

Building a loyal audience — Cultivating a community of loyal readers is essential for sustained success on crypto-based writing platforms. Engage with your audience through comments, respond to their feedback, and maintain a genuine interest in their thoughts and opinions. By fostering meaningful connections, you can build a strong foundation for long-term growth.

By focusing on these factors and continuously improving your content, you can unlock the full potential of writing platforms and enjoy increasing earnings over time. Remember, patience and persistence are key components of success in this competitive landscape.

Referral links and passive income

In addition to earning money from writing, many platforms offer referral programs to help you generate passive income. By effectively promoting your referral links, you can benefit from the engagement of those who join the platform through your recommendation. Here’s what you need to know about referral links and building passive income:

How referral links work — Referral programs incentivize users to promote platforms by offering a percentage of the earnings generated by referred users. When someone signs up using your referral link, you’ll receive a commission based on their activity on the platform. This can be a one-time bonus or an ongoing percentage of their earnings.

Strategies for promoting referral links

To maximize the impact of your referral links, consider the following strategies.

Embed referral links within relevant articles or blog posts.

Share referral links on social media channels, alongside engaging content that showcases the platform’s benefits.

Collaborate with other writers or influencers in your niche to promote each other’s referral links. I have not done this yet but I plan on trying to do this in the future.

Create valuable content, such as tutorials or platform reviews, that naturally incorporate your referral links.

Potential passive income from referrals — The income generated through referral programs can vary based on the platform, the number of referred users, and their activity levels. By continuously promoting your referral links and providing value to your audience, you can potentially build a significant passive income stream over time.

Balancing self-promotion with genuine content — While promoting referral links can be an effective way to generate passive income, it’s essential to maintain a balance between self-promotion and delivering valuable content. Focus on providing genuine value to your audience, and incorporate referral links naturally within your content to avoid coming across as overly promotional or spammy.

By leveraging referral programs and creating a solid promotion strategy, you can diversify your income streams and enjoy the benefits of passive income alongside your writing earnings. Remember, the key to success is providing value to your audience while promoting your referral links in an authentic and engaging manner. Also remember that being consistent and taking time on creating content can go a long way.

Final Thoughts

Writing platforms such as Medium, Read.cash, Publish0X, Ecency, and GdayFam.live offer exciting opportunities for writers to spread their content and share their life stories and thoughts with a global audience while also earning a small side hustle. While starting earnings may be modest, consistent effort, quality content, and audience engagement can lead to significant growth over time.

Additionally, referral programs provide an avenue for generating passive income, further expanding your earning potential.

As you explore these platforms, remember to focus on delivering genuine value to your readers, fostering meaningful connections, and continuously improving your writing skills. With dedication and persistence, you can transform your passion for writing into a rewarding and lucrative endeavor. So, dive into the world of crypto-based writing platforms, share your unique experiences and ideas, and unlock the potential for both personal and financial growth.

Actually, I'm active here. But, I am inactive in Publish0x.com and Ecency. My earning is negligible in Publish0x.com and Ecency. Do you have any trick to earn good from these platforms! Why are you inactive in Main App?

"Random Rewarder " is not visiting my articles . Mostly, random rewarder has decreased tip to users.

I am not sure. I have not been earning much from Publish or Ecency but I am just going to keep posting and see what happens. Even if I make 2 cents per article it is still a small amount being created for my future. I would just say keep posting and interacting with other people's posts. I still get on MAIN and go through posts and comment, I just do not have time to post. I enjoy using MAIN though. It is one of the apps I enjoy the most actually. I will look for you when I get on and see what you posted.

I am not sure how that works. I would think it would be ok as long as you put the original article on read.cash and include the link but I am not sure.
