Welcome aboard!
I have been writing on this platform for over a year now and throughout that time, I have made friendship with other users in this platform and we were able to bring that friendship into the real world through other virtual platforms.
Funny how we became so close without even knowing each other's real name, or even their faces. But it just happened. It's amazing how most of us became close friends without knowing the basic facts about each other and that is just one of many reasons about how much I love this platform.
But aside from virtual friends, I know that we also have real-life friends or even acquaintances whom we managed to bring in here and I know exactly how it feels to take part of spreading BCH awareness through sharing this platform and introducing BCH to the people close to our hearts.
The delight the moment they finally 'register' to the platform because they believed us and our effort in explaining everything to them paid off. And eventually, it is even more delightful when you see your friends make a name and grow in here.
On my first few months in here, I make it my goal to spread the word about how great this platform is. And by doing so, we are also contributing about spreading what Bitcoin Cash is. Sadly, most people we try to recruit here will only be after the earning they could make without even making an effort to interact and give the platform a chance to show how great it is.
There are also other people who are not open about the idea of cryptocurrency and there are other people who thinks online sites where we could earn is a scam. In a simple note, most people won't just believe and most of them also don't have the dedication to push when they don't receive tips from Rusty anymore.
If you tried sharing this platform to your friends, I know you understand what I am trying to say here. But most importantly, despite all those failed recruits, one person who will believe you and will persevere is definitely worth our efforts and it just feels so nice whenever you manage to have someone aboard in here.
Actually, the whole reason why I am writing all this drama is because I just got someone aboard in the platform. She's a close friend of mine since we were Junior High School. We somehow get in contact tonight, catch up a bit, until I mentioned this writing thingy.
I'm glad that she was more than willing to learn about the platform. No questions about how 'legit' is this, just questions about how this platform runs. And of course, I am also more than willing to guide her about all the basics.
With that, welcome aboard @trulySarah! Glad to see you here and I hope that you'll appreciate the platform the same way I did.
Before I end this, let me leave a few tips for my friend and for other newbies out there. I already shared this before but let me just say it again quickly in here.
Interact with other users. Writing, publishing, leaving and just wait for tips is a big NO. No, you don't do that here. Well, I am not judging others who somehow do that because most of us are busy these days. Actually, I am also guilty for I don't have a lot of interaction recently but at least, let us make an effort to interact with others. As we want our articles to be read by others, let us also became willing to read the work of others. Also, don't be shy in sharing your opinions on the comment section, that's another great way to interact in here.
Build camaraderie. This is something that can only be possible through interaction. After all, how can you became friends with others if you don't even talk to them, right? This is also important if you want your stay here to be worthwhile and memorable. It's just different and a lot way better with friends whom you can talk to constantly. Also, there is no such thing as competition here so let us practice supporting each other.
Write your heart out. I see this platform as an avenue for sharing your raw thoughts and emotions. It is a platform where we can improve so use that opportunity to find our niche and practice our craft. No one will judge us with our grammatical errors so do not be afraid to make mistake. What matters is that you write with your heart and that it is original.
Never plagiarize. As I have mentioned, be original. This platform doesn't tolerate plagiarize contents so it is much better to write something with errors than to write a perfect piece that you doesn't even own.
Don't make earning as your only focus in here. Take note, I said 'only focus'. I won't deny the fact that earning matters, I'll be a hypocrite if I do that. What I am just saying is that earning should not our only basis in staying here. There are other things where we can focus, and other things that we should appreciate. Like how writing in here can make us improve, all the learning we can learn from others, and all the friends that we could gain in the long run. Earning matters, it is a huge factor why we are here but that's not the only thing that matter. It should not be the only thing that matter because if you do so, the moment you're not earning the usual, it will be so easy for you to give up on the platform. I hope I made my point clear in here.
There you go. These tips are not new at all and I am sure other users have already mentioned this too. But I hope this could still be useful to other users who are kind of lost on the platform right now. May those simple tips serves as your guide so that you will continue to push through on the platform.
I guess, this is pretty much it. Again, welcome aboard, Sarah! Also, to you all, thanks for reading this far. See you around!

Haha come to think of it, tama ka. Parang magkakakilala na tayo dito kasi madalas nagkakabasahan ng names sa read and noise, but still we haven't seen each other's faces. Nakakatuwa! Dami na natin nakilalang friends sa buong isang taon. Hehe :)
