Newbies have a hard time when they come to read.cash. Some write brilliant posts but never get noticed. Now’s the time to change that.
Newcomers/Newbies/New authors need our help!
Eight months ago, @read.cash published an article "A reason to upvote people's "first posts" on read.cash if you believe in Bitcoin Cash". He encourages us to support and encourage new users with an upvote on their articles. That inspired me to write this post and also to take up the initiative of supporting and encouraging newbies to this platform.
To newbies - You did it, Welcome! and I trust that someday when you look back, you feel thankful that you “took the plunge”and joined read.cash
Read.cash has given some space on the home page for new authors to get started faster. But that's not enough if we don't they don't get noticed - if we don't click to read and encourage them with our comments and upvotes.
You will notice the "new author" label on some posts on the home page. Just like the one in the image below.
This read.cash way of helping new users get started fast. but most of us ignore them and the articles go noticed like this one;
The articles go noticed. This one was published 5 days ago and got only 5 views. @Krish has been a newbie for 5 days. and has not been online for 2 days, perhaps he was discouraged by the level of engagement his article got.
Why welcome newbies?
First of all, of course, its for people to feel welcome.
We can read their post and comment to let the newbies be warmly welcome and upvote to motivate them to keep writing. "We never know if in upvoting their first post we might onboard a lifetime supporter of read.cash and Bitcoin cash, and perhaps recruit good bloggers. They might not even know it yet. This might be their first post in life, and a first small upvote gives them encouragement to explore and write more.
"As the person writes more, she/he brings a little more content to read.cash, thereby bringing more people here. This starts a snowball. The more people come here, the more people discover Bitcoin Cash, the more they write to earn more Bitcoin Cash, the more people encourage and support them, the more people they bring with them. Do you feel the snowball forming?"
Won't this encourage scammers?
This question was answered by @Readc.cash - "Yes, it might. It might make people want to create new accounts just to get $0.10, $0.05, or less... but, usually, it's pretty obvious when a person is authentic vs an attempt to grab some quick cents."
I have started and I will continue to upvote posts of our users - especially their first and also encourage every user to upvote newbies even if with just a few cents. When you see a post with the "new author" take a minute to visit and if genuine, leave a comment and possibly upvote. A comment can be all the encouragement the new user needs to keep going.

I was just searching for articles for newbies and I bumped into your article that was written 9 months ago. I am just so happy with your mindset. I am jist newbie here and I am still learning and adjusting. I have a lot of questions but I am just so shy to ask. I get discouraged for being un noticed but I just keep going. Great things comes to the people who wait and persevere. I've discovered read cash tbrough noise case and I really love writing that's why I took the risk.
