Woke up 6 am this morning and began the usual “stare into space” and “count the ceiling” when it suddenly dawned on me that it was the 2nd day of October and I still haven’t written or thought of writing my achievements on this platform for the month of September. It would seem that September passed so fast, too fast that we all came into October unprepared, or perhaps a little bit of preparation but mostly negligible. I expected to wake up yesterday to the 31st of September but September has no such day; such mistake is set to happen considering I haven’t been to the nursery since childhood.
The month of September brought to me a lot of opportunities and achievements which are beyond my expectations; those these achievements may seem small compared to that of others that have been on this platform for long before me, I’m grateful for what I have and I believe I can do better in this new month.
September was full of ups and down; it featured the massive drop of BCH price, the introduction of smartBCH projects, receiving some sep-20 tokens for free, rusty being rusty at some point, and so on. September was my debut month on this platform; though I’ve been active since mid-August but as mentioned in “fear of read.cash: An August to remember”, I wasn’t visited by “you know who” until the 31st of August and that was where my BCH journey began on read.cash. I remember writing about what I intended to achieve on this platform for the month of September which includes; writing an article per-day, reaching 150 subscribers, sponsoring 10 people, and earning 0.3 BCH. This is the part where I talk about whether I was able to achieve each of these goals or not; let’s get into it.
Goals achieved
Sponsor 10 people- I had plans of sponsoring ten people in the month of September and I’m glad to say that I was able to achieve this feat and sponsored an additional three users. In total I was able to sponsor 13 people; this people were selected at random and sometimes selected based on my interest in their articles. I’m hoping to sponsor even more people in this new month; this is something I’d write about in my plans for October if I eventually gather the courage to do so.
An article per-day- This was initially tough for me considering it was my first month of writing prior to having no previous writing experience; the initial difficulty was expected but I was able to gain more confidence and my writing skills improved with time. I was able to write every day; in fact there was special days were I published an extra article out of necessity; special cases of being extremely free from my usual work, but I ensured there was a really large time interval between the initial publishing and the second; a minimum of 12 hours+.
Below is a list of my published articles for the month of September;

Earn 0.3 BCH- I was able to achieve this feat and achieved even more than I expected. Though I was initially in doubt when I set the goal and at some point felt like it was a fools dream; things began to get better every day and it turned out that “you know who” began to appreciate me even more.
The plan was to achieve 0.3 BCH but I ended up with 0.42 BCH all thanks to constant support from my subscribers, sponsors, and well-wishers on this platform.
150 subscribers; goal not achieved- It turns out that getting more subscribers is tougher than I initially thought and it’s not something you can really control. Though more users began to notice me as I constantly interacted with them and yada yada, it would seem the major key to having more subscribers is by doubling up on writing quality content. I’m still a learner in that aspect and I’m willing to learn even more.
At the time of writing, I only have 93 subscribers but I still have my 150 subscriber goal in mind, and I do hope I’m able to achieve this in the month of October.
Special appreciation goes to all my sponsors and supporters; I couldn’t have done it without you. You guys are simply the best. I wish you an October full of achievements.
Toodles!

Congratulations on your accomplishments. 🥳🥳 don't worry about the 150 subscribers. Maybe you just need to double your interaction or set it first to 100. I think that part is really hard even on Youtube. LOL. Mine is still almost 300 for a year and a half. Nevertheless, I am so happy for you, Kristofferquincy.
