Bidding Goodbye to July: A Month Recap
July is fast ending as if he was a cousin of the Flash. Kidding aside, it was a bad start of July for me and this month has been a roller coaster of mixed emotions. As I've mentioned in my article before, July 1 was the funeral service of my Lolo Erning and with that, I've experienced losing myself. I am writing this monthly recap for me to track my progress here on this platform and my achievements.
Challenging myself and being self-sufficient
One of my goals in my article Target Locked was to publish an article every week. I am beyond grateful because I am doing well and hitting my goal of publishing an article despite having mental breakdowns in the middle of this month. I lost myself. I wasn't performing well but, I got back on track and made this platform my diary.
I published 9 articles as of this moment and this will be the 1oth. I thank you guys for initiating to start a challenge because I really had fun and it is one of the reasons why I became productive here on readcash.
It is July 12, 2021 when I started hodling BCH and challenged myself to achieve my $100 goal before this month ends. I have been successful in achieving it and the money I gained from it was the one I spent for my check-up this afternoon.
Since I have been planning on getting my skin checked up, I allotted my $100 that I hodled for the last two weeks. I am so happy because I didn't get to ask for money from my parents and it is one of my personal goals--to be independent and self-sufficient.
So, I'm thinking that I'll get that $200 goal next month.
Upon checking my notifications this morning, I noticed a notification from read.cash, it says that my articles have surpassed more than 100 views! It is one of my goals for my articles to reach many people. Because I was thinking that my articles will inspire and they will learn from it.
What I am most proud of this month
I was able to publish an article that aimed to donate the proceeds of it. I mentioned in my article that the sister of my friend was in a comatose state and it is very fulfilling that I was able to extend my help to them by making use of my passion---writing. Thank you so much for the upvotes that the article received. Let us continue praying for her fast recovery.
I gained sponsors!!!
I can still remember the time when my only sponsor was @carisdaneym2 . This month I gained extra four subscribers and I always get kilig when I see a sponsorship request on my notifications. Thank you so much for choosing to sponsor me. This keeps me going!
I gained subscribers!!!
I only have 18 subscribers when the time I posted my article Target Locked and looking at it now, I gained 21 subscribers. I guess this is the effect of interacting with other writers and publishing articles that you guys can relate to.
Learning
As I celebrated my 2-month stay here on readcash, I've learned a little about how the crypto world works--- how the market would dip and eventually boom. I know that my knowledge about crypto is just a speck of dust but staying here will make me understand it more and be knowledgeable.
I learned to find my way of writing. I'm eventually continue to explore and enjoy the way I write my articles. I realized that reading time does not always matter. What matters the most is how I will be able to entertain and make you guys relate to my articles.
Final thoughts
Isn't amazing how our goals make us strive harder? It gives us the drive to write articles and have a reward in return. We just have to believe in what we do and all our sacrifices will pay off someday.
I wouldn't achieve these goals if it weren't for all of you guys. For your support, upvotes, comments, and to those who are silently reading my articles. My successes are also your successes. I'll continue to write as long as I can. Thank you all so much!
