I was looking back and remembered how my beginnings on this platform were. I was invited by a friend, she was also on another platform where things are more difficult, there is a lot of work and little profit but in the same way I was very grateful for my hard work and effort on those two other platforms.
I started working here at read.cash, but my knowledge about how to proceed here was nil. I was even afraid to start. I didn't understand anything that was going on here, including my lack of knowledge about spam. I didn't understand how to get to know who was spamming.
My friend at the time was a big spam hunter, she wanted me to be like her too, but I didn't know how to handle my account like her because she is already frequent and regular on many platforms, she knows the ways of many and she knows when they are and when they are not real and honest users.
So when I was getting small and short word comments like “Good post”, “Keep up the good work”, “I like the post”, “Follow me and others”, I thought they were spam all and I didn't reply at all.
That's how I stopped meeting many users, as I was ignorant of how to properly proceed. I didn't know much about remuneration either and when they visited me to give me some I was so happy because they gave me 25 cents, 30 cents. Believe me, I was so happy, then I kept increasing my earnings and in a few months I was earning a dollar for my publications, the income was random.
And I was so grateful for reading others who taught me. Since in other places to earn a dollar I had to work hard with writing, take many good photos and then they would give me even less than a dollar… But always happy and grateful to receive even that.
I didn't know that you could give tips or how to give them. I also didn't know that the little hand next to the comment should also be touched when the commentator was good and when he/she was not, you should give the other hand.
Over the months I learned by reading articles of some and others who reported on the matter, I was ashamed because there were many who went through my publications and I did not give a penny to any of them, because I was ignorant. I hope they have forgiven me with time…
As I started going from place to place I realized that my friends who were 3 users were earning more and other users were also earning a hell of a lot more. I realized then that I can improve my posts and earn more too.
I used to write about my plants and my cooking recipes, 3 minutes posts, and then I changed the subject and I went to write about mysteries and folklore in my country. Those posts were more liked, I got paid more and they were more than 4 min. posts.
So it was when I was already on this platform for 3 to 4 months I began to have an income of 2 and 3 dollars. That for me was a lot of money, thanks to my comparison with the earnings on other platforms.
I did not compare myself with the earnings of users who were here earning much more because my posts were not similar to theirs in relation to their content. Yet my posts were paid better than anywhere else.
In view of the bad economy I was having. With no job, and relying on craft sales to keep me going, I was quite content just the way I was here.
But once someone came along and misunderstood a comment I made and that was enough to get me punished. They stopped visiting me and giving me any remuneration for a month. My finances went down the drain. I went through a lot of financial difficulties, but I kept on writing. I received comments from many friends and that encouraged me to continue.
Until one day I was visited again. By now the random remuneration system had long since changed to that of a bot with better remuneration. He started to review all my posts and give me more and more and I was so happy.
Although I kept writing until today a lot has changed. I am still very grateful for all the learning that I have been accumulating on this platform through the months. This has helped me to grow as a commentator and writer.
It has also helped me to continue writing on other platforms with better content. But this platform read.cash will continue to be the one that opened the doors to my economic recovery. I was able to recover my health, I was able to pay for my son's university studies this past year.
Soon he will finish his college career. But now he already has his own income with his new job and I am paying for half of my new ultrasound equipment with half of my income from posting here.
It has been quite an odyssey this past year, because of all the circumstances I have been through. Always a winner, with my spirit grateful to everything and everyone.
Grateful first of all to God for being the one who keeps me firm in victory, grateful to this platform, with my friends who always accompany me and with the sponsors I have, I know they are few but they are great and to all of you my blessings for accompanying me.
I know I'm not one of the best writers around. I don't even consider myself a writer, but I do know that I have improved a lot since my beginnings and will continue to grow, because I love what I do and I love to write.
Well first of all I would like to thank you for such a helpful and motivating article. It's been great to know you from my 1st day on this site and believe me I can relate your past with my present. I am looking forward to learn a lot. As GoD gifted me this ability that I learn very fast. But I need you to guide me also if you've got a time. Also if it is possible, do share your social media contact, So I can learn from your more and more. Also I still don't know about random remuneration system.
