Dear Diary, I Earned $12 For 4 Articles!
"If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done."
-Thomas Jefferson
Dear Diary,
It was just a week ago when I had started my journey in read.cash as a writer. When I entered the platform, I have seen everyone publishing interesting contents. I started my article with the topic about "How hard is the beginning as a beginner?".
Every beginner may find it hard to start but as the wise man once said that if you want something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done. I admit that to be here in read.cash is something I have not ever done in my life.
I could not even imagine myself writing and publishing articles but when I was young, I really dreamed to become a writer yet I had the difficulty of writing paragraphs until I reached high school wherein I used to do different types of writing because I belonged to a special curriculum in my country. And now, I feel so happy that I have conquered my struggles in writing. I never thought that I could be here just like all of the happy writers all around the platform.
Starting in the platform with no one guiding you may be hard yet when I explored a lot in the community, I found myself thrilled with a lot of surprises when I have felt that every user here are so friendly and engaging even to beginners like me. I thought being here is simply just to earn a passive income but as days gone by, I have realized that it is not all about the money or earnings, but it is an enjoyable experience of being here in a wonderful community of kind people.
And then I have written another content about, "What keeps you going to write?". Just as how Louis L'Amour highlighted that the water does not flow until the faucet is on, that has the same idea in writing by which every individual cannot start writing without making a move to start until writing also becomes a natural process of life just like breathing.
I have also written a content about "Should you write when you are in pain?". What is common to every living individual is the ability to have emotions but to write when someone is pain is a decision. However, most of the nicely written and creative pieces of writing comes from a deep story of pain, sorrow, and despair, which may be so melancholic to read but it hits hard down from within.
In addition, I have written a content on "How do you write your thoughts?". I personally write my thoughts through creating a good habits for thinking and writing. Writing my thoughts is like writing my told and untold stories in a blank page of life where I am learning to think through my fingers and have the passion for writing.
Dear diary, I earned $12 for 4 articles in read.cash!
It was like a dream of coming here for free while earning my first digital currency in a form of Bitcoin Cash.
My first 4 articles rewarded by the random giver are my earnings for a week since I have only written four articles out of 7 days. I was not able to write my article on my first week on a daily basis because I was on a trip for three days so I skipped writing although I was active engaging with some users in the community.
How hard is the beginning as a beginner?, $1.86
What keeps you going to write?, $3.84
Should you write when you are in pain?, $3.85

"The secret to getting ahead is to get started."
-Mark Twain
I accumulated a total of 12.10 dollars or 0.10 Bitcoin Cash in just four days. My earnings in Philippine peso is equivalent to PHP676.10 or six hundred seventy-six pesos and ten centavos. This may sound little to others but this amount means so much to me as this is the fruit of my hard work in writing and publishing articles in read.cash. How would I get it if I am doing nothing?
According to Mark Twain, the secret to getting ahead is to get started. Starting something I have never done may be challenging but I greatly believe that it would help me improve for the better and reach all my goals in life.
In conclusion, the best things in life usually happen to those who hustle hard. It does not really matter how small or big the earnings are but it is the ability to look for other sources that would make life more comfortable. Whatever journey in life we are having at the moment, what weighs more is the passion to keep on moving forward despite a lot of struggles and challenges along the way.
Thank you for reading. I hope to see you on my next content.
Smiles and wink,
