How To Make $700 Monthly With These Platforms [July Report]
I've been publishing monthly reports for some time, tracking and presenting my progress in views and rewards earned from the various writing platforms I use.
With these reports, I plan to:
Motivate my audience to keep (or begin) writing
Present how everyone with an average knowledge of English can become an online writer and profit from this
Promote the top writing & blogging platforms
Explain how to use each platform
My readers recognize this is not an attempt to brag about achievements but to support other writers, readers, and the platforms.
I've written tutorials regarding the proper use of read.cash and noise.cash describing in detail information a beginner may take weeks or months to figure out.
What motivates a writer is not bragging but being helpful and offering immense value whenever possible.
July Report
In July, I published 18 articles on all platforms I use, and the rewards were:
2.58BCH & 342.20 euro
Calculating in terms of euro with the current rates, that's 727.19€.
The number of views indicates the differences in audience preferences between read.cash, and Medium.
Read.Cash 2.58BCH ($361)
Marc De Mesel supported my content again with an incredible 2BCH tip at the beginning of a month!
I'm forever grateful for the long-lasting support of @MarcDeMesel with tips on my content. Also thankful for the support Marc still provides on read.cash, and noise.cash platforms, no matter the current difficulties with BCH price.
Marc De Mesel keeps the tips flowing, and every writer understands the difficulties when Bitcoin Cash price dropped so much.
Investing comes with great risk, and we all support Marc wishing his investments recover and resumes his profitability.
Tips Given
I'm tipping on average (about) $60 each month to other writers since I started using the read.cash platform in March 2021. I consider tipping back not a duty but a pleasure after having a great time while reading articles.
However, the tips I give the last few months are lower (~$30), as the price of BCH dropped and rewards were also decreased.
Sometimes, I may not have enough time, though, and I will tip based on the scope of the content or just tip particular quality writers but without reading the content. I admit it is difficult to keep up and read other articles with all my current priorities already consuming most of my free time.
I don't publish daily anymore either, but it will be probably three articles weekly, maybe less.

Noise.Cash: 0.3845BCH ($37,70)
Noise user JeffChen tipped me generously with $19, and I really appreciated the gesture.
I followed this Bitcoin Cash supporter on Noise, where he frequently publishes in his native language (with translators, language is no longer a barrier).
Noise.cash is a recommended platform for every user of the internet.
Anyone that wants to begin with Noise can read a guide I previously published on Medium:
There are a few differences today, as due to the abrupt price decline of Bitcoin Cash, rewards are also lower, and Noise (and Read.cash), still pays tips for one year and a half so far, with Marc Demesel contributing monthly from his own wallet.

Medium
My Medium rewards were record-breaking for July.
Although the 30% tax cut is too much. Well luckily, my country has a treaty with the US to avoid double taxation, so at least this amount is net income (after-tax).
While the Medium partner's program is not available everywhere (yet), I will once again recommend this platform to everyone, even if they are not currently eligible for the program.
Those that understand will have a head start. Moreover, this platform is an excellent approach to improve as writers as the quality of writers is vastly better than anywhere else.
A detail I haven't mentioned yet was that I skipped paying for a Medium membership all this time, which might have resulted in fewer views, SEO exposure, and rewards.
Getting closer to the 100k landmark views, although, besides Medium, I think I'm also closer to 100k views in read.cash, which is a primary target.
I will buy a yearly subscription this month for two reasons:
1) It offers better SEO
2) We can enjoy all content behind the paywall
3) We can create a publication
I've already decided on the writer's referral I will use, which will be Jonica Bradley's since I owe her at least that much. Jonica has published in the past a thorough guide for beginners on Medium, which I have to recommend:
I will also consider creating a publication (community) on Medium, perhaps a Bitcoin Cash related one which is missing from the platform.
Medium membership (includes my referral)
Your membership fee directly supports Pantera and other writers you read. You’ll also get full access to every story on Medium.
Hive - Publish0x
Hive is asking for a direction that I'm not willing to take. While the friends from read.cash that also use Hive produce worth-reading articles, and whenever I can, I visit and upvote, I never fancied Hive (Leo Finance, to be exact) for these reasons:
i) Bots and multi-accounts upvote powerful accounts
ii) Even the top writers' quality leaves a lot to be desired
iii) The support of top writers in particular content that I don't care to read about (Splinterlands, Hive/Leo-related meta content, Cub Finance cover 90% of top Leo articles).
iv) Quality articles will not get attention without holding a vast amount of Hive tokens, making the approach of most writers insincere. Focus is on the Hive token, the price, and the rest of Hive tokens instead of quality content.
It is a rigged system genuine writers despise.
Anyway. I got more negative remarks regarding Leo Finance and Hive, but it is not for the present time to describe.
Publish0x also has a few drawbacks (and even fewer rewards than Hive), but I can recommend this platform for carrying out some writing contests with decent rewards. These contests are highly competitive, with hundreds of users participating but offer prizes for dozens of articles, so writers get decent odds.
If I had to recommend one of these platforms, I would lean towards Publish0x.
In Conclusion
Nobody should try to become a writer just for the rewards.
It is only a free-time side project to have in mind that can produce small rewards.
Writing doesn't offer a stable compensation, and we shouldn't think we can substitute our job with online writing.
I've also previously explained these rewards are not adequate to pay my bills, and some misunderstood me, thinking I'm ungrateful.
I think these folks missed my point. Of course, I'm thankful for these rewards. I praise the platforms and Marc De Mesel for the tips and prizes I received.
Consider why there are only a handful of writers from developed economies on all these platforms before you apply your conditions and situation.
Maybe I should answer this. This income of $500 or $700 monthly can't sustain the living conditions of anyone in a developed country. The bills and taxes alone are usually more than that.
In the US, for example, just the average rent for a one-bed apartment is $1200. Few consider writing as a task to earn money in their free time. Writing platforms are for those with a passion for writing.
Writers from Europe, the USA, Australia, and Canada, don't do this to earn a living. Online writing or most freelance jobs do not work for someone living in a western economy as the cost of living doesn't allow it.
However, western writers dedicate their free time to what they love most.
I don't know if this is understood or not. If not, feel free to comment your thoughts.

You pointed out something interesting that I think few people do actually understand, that a guy like me who lives in the U.S. writes anything more for the love of doing it than for the potential "reward" from doing it.
It is not to say my content is of high quality. Just that I write more about things I am more passionate about and simply because I love writing and sharing.
Great commentary and insight from you as always, which is why I keep coming back.
