Why did I join read.cash?

Do you know any money earning applications or sites? What are those, what is it about and were you able to earn from it? I am sure that majority of us are looking for ways to earn money given the situation that we are in right now or probably some of you have already tried some platforms and have been able to receive their payouts. Lucky you! But I know that there are also some who spent their time into it but didn't get anything in return. It is hard to know which one is legit or if there will be such platform that will stay for a long time.

I have tried a lot of this applications but it was hard to reach the threshold. What was the ending? I ended up deleting those applications. LOL. Most of it were just games but the catch is you need a lot of referrals in order to speed up your earnings. I did sent it to the people that are on my Facebook list but I got seen zoned. I have also tried those applications wherein you will read some news and current affairs and you'll earn from it. I love reading but when it is about the news, I want to hear it over the radio or watch it in televisions. Again another unsuccessful money earning platform experience from me.

Last year I found out about Kiki. Have you heard of it or have tried it before? It is a social platform that lets you earn money just by sharing what is on your mind, your hobbies, likes, dislikes, rants and everything you want to talk about. You also need to do some interactions with other creators. In that way you can get some ideas in case you have run out of topics to share. And through those interactions, you get to meet and know them virtually. I think I know what is on your mind right now. You maybe asking yourself if it was more of blogging or basically just like read.cash? Yes, it was like that. But the sad news is that they started to have problems towards the end of the year and have been struggling until the start of 2020 plus the fact that pandemic had hit us globally. As much as they wanted to continue with the platform, it was really hard for them to cope up so they have decided to shut it down.

There were some people that I met in that platform that was able to receive payment and there were also some who didn't. As for me, I have received a partial payment from them and I was really happy because it was my first time to receive $20 from such platform.

When I started with Kiki, my focus was with the $75 payment. It may be small for some but for me it can actually help me with my expenses. As I go along, I realized that I was enjoying what I do. I was in college when I first heard about blogging or Blogger to be exact. I did create an account there that time but never gotten to post anything because I was more focused on designing how my site would be appealing to my readers. LOL. I guess I can say that I am a frustrated blogger or writer or a food critique.

Why didn't I try vlogging? Well the time that I started Kiki, I was already planning to create a Youtube channel but the problem was that I didn't want to show my face. I guess I didn't have the courage to face in front of the camera and talk to myself or it's just that I lack self-confidence and my self-esteem was really low. I also thought about my own privacy and that of my family and friends but it was actually more on my confidence level. I have stage fright, shy in videos and I get stuttered especially during interviews and presentations and it all goes down to having no confidence with myself and little self-esteem. I have tried so many times how to overcome these things but I couldn't. I am still mustering up myself but it is really hard. I envy my dad and my brother who are so good when it comes to public speaking. I hope someday I will be able to do the same. Now you have an idea with my videos on Youtube. LOL. It is still somehow informative.

After the shut down, I didn't have any outlet to voice out my thoughts. Why didn't I sign up for another Blogger account? Because the chances of getting some response from the readers are so slim. Correct me if I am wrong but as far as I know that your articles wouldn't show up on top of the list when you search for that particular topic.

Then I have heard about read.cash months ago but it was only recently when I signed up. Why just now? My primary concern during those months was for me to recover from my surgery. Then slowly I started uploading videos on my Youtube channel. And now finally I have decided to blog again. Why? Just like with Kiki, it was because of the money. Honestly after I signed up, I couldn't think of any topic to share that I spent the whole day thinking about it. It was only on my second day when I published my first article. Kudos to me.

Kiki and read.cash both have different ways or strategies on how to earn but I don't mind because I get to use my brains and practice my english once again. I don't know if I have mentioned it but I have been unemployed for years now but this year I felt like my mind is getting a little rusty. I am not sure if it was because of the anaesthesia that was used during my operation. I already had 2 major surgeries and if we would include the additional 2 out-patient post operation surgergy that I had recently then it would count as 4. Yikes! But then again I think being on lockdown for months has contributed with the rustiness of my brain.

I am still not that familiar here in read.cash but I hope you can bear with my life's dramas, rants, thoughts and of course food discussions. I know this is a site where we can talk about anything we want that is still within the site's terms and conditions. Some may not read or vote nor sponsor your articles but don't lose hope. Don't feel bad because as long as you are enjoying what you do then you are just right on track. Someday, you will be surprise that you are already earning.

How about you? Why did you join read.cash?
