How I got fooled in read cash?

In read cash, sponsorship is a part of the program. It is believed that when someone likes the writing of a writer then he can sponsor the writer so that it motivates the writer to continue writing quality articles. I guess I am not wrong.

Then again a sponsor can withdraw the sponsorship also. Some of the reasons can be:-

• The sponsor doesn’t like the articles of the writer any more.

• The sponsor is having earning crunch in read cash.

• The sponsor is leaving read cash.

• The purpose of sponsorship is fulfilled.

Now my story.

When I joined read cash last month I saw a lot of competition going on about sponsorship. I was new and joined a few such competitions. When I used to see in the notification that someone wants to sponsor me, I used to feel happy. I got a total of 7 sponsors which amounted to 0.12 USD per month. Though the amount was very less per sponsor but I was happy that people like my articles. I think it can be taken as a logical conclusion.

When I wrote the article on completing my first month, I saw I had 6 sponsors. Generally when going through my articles I skip seeing that sponsor block, but yesterday somehow my eyes stopped there as I saw less pictures of sponsor there. I was left with 2 sponsors, and after some time I was left with 1 sponsor. Those who had sponsored me last month were nowhere to be seen. The one who had sponsored me this month only remained.

As getting sponsorship made me happy, this made me sad. I contemplated a lot, may be my writing is not good now.

To understand a devious plan one has to have a devious mind. Now I started thinking from another angle and the picture became quite clear. It was all a subscriber game going on and I was one of the victims.

This was a scam and a mafia. These people organised various competitions and to know the outcome of the result subscribing the organizer was part of the scheme. So many subscribed them and only a few won the sponsorship. Here, as the list of subscribers is not visible we tend to forget most of the people we have subscribed. So these people got a lot of subscribers. The few they sponsored, they did it for 1 month and then stopped. The purpose was fulfilled.

A perfectly chalked out plan to increase subscribers in read cash. All those utopian ideas of read cash about sponsorship and subscribers go down the gutter. People played with it to increase the subscriber base. Not only me but many like me must have been victims of it, some of them may have realized the plan, some not. Some decided to stay silent, but not me.

What struck me was that these things were done by the Bangladeshis and the Filipinos mostly. I was duped by the Bangladeshis mostly. They were the front runners last month in this devious plan. This month it is died down a lot. I think as these two groups have a strong presence here and they must have planned it outside the read cash platform otherwise it would have come to notice.

Another thing I have noticed here is that they have a strong sense of bonding among themselves. Any even 2-4 lines articles written by a Bangladeshi will get a lot of comment and up votes from their community, same is with the Filipinos.

I remember most of the names of my sponsors and I would surely block them.

A writer deserves an answer when someone wants to stop sponsoring him. It can be as blunt as ‘I don’t like your writing’ or as diplomatic as ‘I am having earning crunch’. Otherwise it can affect the writer’s feelings.

I understand honesty and integrity are not the hallmark of humans in general any more and more so in read cash but still a little bit can always be expected.

I have been quite blunt in my words, just stopping before being rude, but I can’t help it after seeing all this. I apologize to the Bangladeshi and the Filipino people here, but this is my observation and I shared. I may be totally wrong, or partially, as usual all are not like this. But some people ruin the name of others also.

If you people want to down vote this article, report it and/or block me you are most welcome to do so.

I know you are not, now I can make out by the posts. Thats why I said not everyone is like that. Its just that it has become easy for me to see who is and who is not. You are a genuine and hard working writer. I have full respect for you, managing 3 kids and then being active in read cash must be quite taxing for you.

I think you're right. Many of these users have been deleted and so have your sponsors. They were not real sponsors. The system was abused. It doesn't matter if it was Bangladeshi, Filipinos or anyone else. They are gone and it is good that they are. Maybe it was even a few people who created hundreds of accounts.

That was also the reason why I did not sponsor anyone.

Yes sir, these people took the system for a ride. Such bad heads are everywhere, I think on other platforms like publish0x, medium etc. Regular system overhauling is required. The sponsorship amount is also very less. Its better to tip that way. Thank you sir.

Point taken! I completely understand your sentiments. I also thought that the sponsorship event has become a shortcut to reach more subscribers and I've seen my fellow Filipinos do this. I haven't given any sponsorships yet and I thought that I will give it to someone who deserves it and not by making a contest. I admire your bravery for speaking up.

I am having an on going giveaway at the moment. It's not something about sponsorship tho. Just an upvote giveaway to the best articles that are unnoticed. Anyway, I understand your thoughts and opinions about this, and I respect that. But as someone who is also having a giveaway at the moment, I think it is a win-win situation where both the host and the winners get something from it. The host might get a lot of subscribers by doing the event, and the winner might get promotions for winning. But what do I know. Haha I am just new here as well, and I've only been here for 4 days. I'm a Filipino by the way. :)

Its all about the intention, I my case it was all about subscribers, sponsorship was an alibi. That is why they stopped sponsorship after one month.

I am new to the platform and I really wish not to be allured by those sponsorships after reading your article. Because I don't wanna be sad over that in the first place. I'm only here to express my emotions, tho the points is a bonus. Heads up, my friend!

The sponsorship amounts are a mockery of a writer, like 0.01/0.02/0.03 USD per month. Its better to earn through points.

You are right to feel that way about the scam that exists with sponsorships, I think you have to be honest, show the arguments why they are not going to continue sponsored, and they do not, I had not seen it that way, the intention of everything was Subscribers, now we must be aware of that, contests are using this alternative.

Yes I only participated in those contests in my first 20 days in read cash, when I saw that the sponsorship amount is too less, I stopped participating. They were giving 0.01 dollar per month sponsorship, that is actually a dishonor to writers.

what they give is very little, it is better to receive a tip for their articles, instead of that amount that is not appropriate, we must write articles that impact and reach the reader, so that the subscribers support the work done

If you were been fooled by your own sponsor why blaming others? Did all filipinos fool you? O come on. If you observed that most filipinos doing that then why not try to report them? Dont be so paranoid sorry to say that. For one sponsor got away from you then here you now blaiming us.

Please go through the article again, not one but 6 sponsors. And I said organizing these giveaways were mostly done by people from these two countries and I have specifically mentioned about Bangladeshis. So you should not feel offended.

sir,not only Bangladeshi. My first sponsor in rc was an Indian.i can say that because he made an article about his tour from delhi to his home town(i can't remember). And after one month he canceled his sponsorship for no reason..that really hurts me.and now he may be banned by rc for some reason..it's my request not to blame any country for some bad people..whether it is Bangladesh, india,phillipine bad peoples are everywhere.

I noticed it too. Giveaways, contests here and there. I don't know if it's legal here because I'm still new in here, but I can't help notice that the subscription is one of the goal plus the exposure.

It is better to write articles and get point than fall for this scam. The sponsorship amount is also piddly so you can easily forego it. Accept only those ones who are ready to sponsor you on their own.

I feel you. I will be experiencing that soon. When i'm just new here in readcash i joined those giveaways and sponsorships thinking that it will help me earn more. And yes it did help me earn a little but as the days go by, i reaLized its just a front to some just to collect subscibers so i stopped joining . I am not talking about my sponsors.. I knew some few sponsors here who are really a good one. Others even sponsored me without asking them or joining their event. I hope those kind of people will multiply here...

Yes, a real sponsor-er will not resort to giveaways. He will do when he likes someones writing. My last surviving sponsor is like that only.

Sponsorship is like doing business, sponsors pay less and you will carry their logo. If your sponsor does not pay after the contract ends their logo disappears on the sponsor box. On my first month here, it was something like that, some people will sponsor you because you are a good writer that fits their interests and encourage you to write more but now that there are many sponsorships programs in here the essence is not like that anymore its purely business that benefits the sponsor. That is why I don't pay much to sponsorship any more though I still renew some of my sponsored but for me? I don't mind to have a sponsor anymore.
