Two weeks ago I published on Medium an article about Read Cash, which has been met with decent reception. I didn't expect too much attention although it seems that it managed to catch the attention of a few writers.
The article was this one: " Meet Read Cash: A Crypto-Platform for Freelance Writers.". I will not republish it here though, since it has value mostly to users of other platforms.
It doesn't have too many views yet but it attracted a lot of people that read it. These are its stats:
It didn't do badly in general, had 57 views but what matters most is the number of reads and this one had a very good read ratio of 40%.
It is not easy to engage and have a high reading time, and I think that this article succeeded in this.
I hope with this article I managed to help some other authors decide to join Read Cash and give it a try.
Analytics
The number of readers is more important than the views. This is also something that Medium rates higher when it comes to monetization purposes.
Views can be spam views or also may mean we created a click-bait title but the content was irrelevant or was leaving a lot to be desired.
Compared with stats from other articles, it did very well.
I also have a LinkedIn profile that I use to promote my articles.
Each time I create a new article on Read Cash, I try to support it by advertising it in these media:
Noise.Cash
Twitter
LinkedIn
Minds
I'm not sure though how much traffic this brings to Read Cash and my articles. It would be cool to be able to see these stats though.
Sometimes, I notice that even Minds and LinkedIn attract likes and I feel they are doing a lot to increase the visibility of our posts.
On LinkedIn I decided to advertise the aforementioned Medium post like this:
"I will be frank with this.
Maybe advertising Read Cash is against my personal interests and will increase competition.
Don't join Read Cash, don't read my article."
It is reverse psychology and it seems to have worked, at least for the part that it had double views from the rest and a few thumbs up. Usually, at LinkedIn, I don't receive engagement, since almost all that are connected to me are mostly unknown people I've never interacted with.
However, this is not how I feel of course. I want people to join Read Cash as I'm not short-sighted, otherwise, I wouldn't discuss it on other platforms. An increase in user base means better results for all.
I feel there is potential in Read Cash and more competition will make it even better.

It is still too many writers that haven't noticed Read Cash and it will only help all of us if this platform starts attracting more authors from other platforms.
A final thought
I think that the monthly reports are great articles and give a good idea of our progress. I recommend publishing them on other platforms if the writer uses any.
When republishing always link the source too (to avoid confusion and plagiarism accusations) and explain that it was originally posted on Read Cash.
It is even better to write a full review of Read Cash if you haven't done so already and publish it on the rest platforms you are using.
Read Cash deserves to be noticed by more on the internet, we have to help the platform expand and reach out to everyone.
