Turning 2 in 2022: My Read.cash Journey

Jane's article made me look back at how I started my journey on this platform. I think that was 2 years ago. If my memory serves me right, I signed up around May or the month of June. I remember how hesitant I was because I knew for certain that I was not a writer. I can write, yes, but I struggle. My number one problem is that I am not good at English. I have poor grammar. But what made me push through was the urge to earn money.

I was just being observant at first. Observing how read.cash works Or how would I be able to earn money? I read articles that caught my interest and left comments. At that point, we can earn points even by just leaving a comment.

However, I am not as lucky as other writers. Maybe because my piece cannot be considered good quality. My account was listed as spam and so were the succeeding accounts that I created. But in spite of that, I continued my journey and earned the trust of other writers. I have made a circle of friends that helped me build my name on this platform.   

Most of my articles are all about life experiences. I was hoping that by sharing it all here, people could learn something from it. And the majority of them are written in such a lighthearted manner that my readers will not be bored while reading them. I remember a certain user that left a comment on my article. I forgot her name though. She/he said that she/he loves reading my articles because it is fun and, according to her/him, it was like I was talking to her directly. I felt proud of myself because it only means that I am growing as a writer. I've gone from a "writer kuno" to a writer who can reach out to my readers and convey what I really want to convey. Oh, I wish I could find her comment, but it would take a while before I could find it in my articles.

In read.cash, you're not just a writer, you are also a reader/commentator. That's how I was able to build my name. I love reading articles that would help me grow as a writer. I love reading articles that could help me shooosh away my stress. One of the articles that I had fun reading was Ruffa's. She has such a wild, broad, limitless imagination that when you read it, you will even question yourself, "is that even possible? Lol!

Being on this platform is a blessing to me. I guess it is, to every user in some way. My husband lost his job after the pandemic struck, and from then on, read.cash has helped us get by. I was able to provide food on our table. And not only that, when I got sick, this community was the first one to help me financially and emotionally. I was/am overwhelmed with the unending support that I got from people who never knew me personally.

I still remember the day when I created a post on noise.cash about my illness, and in just a short span of time, I was flooded with help from different users. I was crying when I first saw it. I never thought that people would help me because we all have our own problems, but they never hesitated to lend a helping hand. And since then, I've been able to sustain my medication. Until now, read.cash has been a great help to me and my family.

These are just one of my withdrawals in read.cash.

Who would have thought that a noob writer like me could earn more than $100 within a month just by writing an article? From 0.50 dollars to $100. I could not believe that I am capable of doing that. Bitcoin cash and read.cash made it possible. And because of that, I can proudly say that I am not JUST a stay-at-home mom who is just waiting for her husband's paycheck. I am a stay-at-home mom earning dollars! And I am proud of myself!

And with that being said, both will always have a big part in my heart and there is no way that I will ever forget it for the rest of my life.
