What's up, folks! I hope y'all are having a lovely weekend and staying safe wherever you find yourself.
Today is the 22nd day of July. And just as stated by the headline, this post is to announce the 30th nomination round of the Patronage for next week's beneficiaries. But before we dive into the business of the day, allow me to share this with you.
About two months ago, I saw a job offer on LinkedIn. I thought; let me see this. I read through the content. Almost at the end, the recruited put a note in a small, inconspicuous place:
"While submitting your application, put the word "banana". Note that without this word, your application will not be considered."
Seriously?!
This means that any applicant who doesn't read the note, not just read a few lines, but read the entire content of the note to the end has automatically disqualified himself.
As job seekers, listen, big-time recruiters employ people who listen, who read.
In an examination you will see; Read the instructions first.
No matter how good you are, how talented and skilled or experienced you may be, if you do not first learn to read, you wouldn't make it easy in the writing world.
My father often told us;
"The brain, then the eyes and ears before the mouth. Think, look, listen, before you speak."
I'll say now; Think, look, listen, ask, before you can write
Also remember: Read, learn to read. That is the first lesson to writing.
It's okay if you hadn't been reading it all, we wouldn't need to learn if we knew it all but we learn to improve on what we already knew or to know what we didn't before. I hope you learn this.
Back to the Patronage
We are in the 29th week of the Patronage and our beneficiaries of the week are @ExpertWritter and @TengoLoTodo. I have subscribed to both users and sent sponsorship offers, but I'm yet to tip their posts yet. I have not earned anything from Rusty in more than 5 days. And I have exhausted the BCH on my read.cash wallet. But if I don't get a visit soon from Rusty, I will have to take out some BCH from the little I have in my main BCH wallet to continue tipping the beneficiaries. Anyways, the Patronage weekly support continues.
Patronage Week 30 Nomination Round
This is the 30th nomination round of the Patronage initiative.
As usual, I ask the simple question:
Which read.cash user(s) deserves a little encouragement and should be supported by me for a whole week?
How to Nominate Newbies?
Nominating users for beneficiaries of each Patronage week has always been simple. All you have to do is come up with the users you wish to nominate and mention their correct username in the comments section of this post, and you are done. The not so simple part is coming up with the right user to nominate. It's possible you don't know any new users on the platform. Not to worry, you can find them here or simply click on "First post" located above the first boosted post on the home screen.
Keep in mind that the users you'll nominate must not be new, you can also nominate older users who are finding it hard to gain Rusty's attention. I trust we can fish them out.
So find that user and mention his or her correct username in the comments section below. Above all, let's avoid nominating older users who are earning a good amount.
You can nominate yourself
Often in the last nomination round of the month, I permit users to nominate themselves and one other user. Here it is, you can nominate yourself and any other user of your choice.
All Nominations end on Sunday and beneficiaries will be announced the same day.
Please, don't nominate previous beneficiaries
We have had seventy-three (73) unique beneficiaries since the start of the Patronage initiative. I always share the list of previous beneficiaries in the weekly nomination round posts so we don't have to renominate them. We aim to have new users become the beneficiaries each week.
Here is a list of the users that have been Patronage beneficiaries:

The Patronage Package
Here are the benefits users receive as beneficiaries of the Patronage week:
Subscriber(s): I will subscribe to you and I hope that other patronage supporters will do the same.
Sponsorship: I will sponsor the weekly beneficiaries. The sponsorship will be sent and the rest will be up to you to either accept or reject it.
Tips: I will get to read and tip up to 7 articles you published by the users within the week of being a Patronage beneficiary.
Nominators Bonus: The users who participate in the nomination rounds are not left out. I will tip their nomination comments with a random amount.
Other things to note
I will only tip articles written in English. I can't tip what I can neither read nor understand.
The tip amount will depend on the quality of your content.
You can nominate the same users nominated by others. As the more nominations, a user gets, the more his/her chances of topping.
That's all for today. Let the nomination begin!
Love and support.
It’s a little weird for me that your list and also the comments are full of successful writers .. I nominate @Marsou
