I Earned a Little in Read.Cash, Here’s My Advice To The Newbies

When I started blogging here about a month ago, I was kicking with excitement, I posted around 3 or 4 articles, and have been regularly posting a single article daily, ever since. For 2 weeks now, I’ve been earning for $2 a day.

Not really a big amount, but if you’re someone living in the Philippines, that’s something already… something that can buy you food for an entire day, if you’re a single guy living by himself.

Sometimes, when the gods of the digital realm are kind to me, (in our case, the Random Rewarder), I earn up to $4 for a day, though that doesn’t happen a lot. I was thinking I should do something to earn some more, but then I thought, Read.Cash only spends $500 a day, and I’m already getting $2 from that, the other $498 is already apportioned to the other 40,000 plus users.

With that knowledge, I can say that I’m already getting a “huge slice of the pie”, so to speak. There are others here who claim to be earning up to $10 a day. I don’t know if that’s true, or how they do it. I do hope that I can reach that level someday (fingers crossed).

Since I’ve enjoyed some (little) royalties and some cool friendships here already, let me share with you my methods, in getting some neat success here in this beloved crypto-blogging site of ours.

Before we begin, let me say that success by definition is a relative term. Why I can say that I’ve got some “good enough” notoriety here, is due to the persistent rewards that our dearest bot rewarder is giving me every day, and the barrage of super-sweet comments that I get from Read.Cash users, for nearly all of my posts.

So here are the methods and techniques that I use, which in my opinion, works really well. Just 3 tips, simple, yet truly effective.

1. Refrain from posting super-short articles.

When I got my first small earnings here, I scoured this site for some other posts and comments, and have found out that some users are complaining why they don’t get some earnings at all, even though they’ve posted a series of articles already.

I clicked on those users’ profiles and found out that their posts are too short, not even reaching 200 words per article. What’s worse is that some of them have badly written paragraphs, and are replete with too many typo errors. Clearly, those people are posting crappy content, yet they are expecting to be rewarded.

If you have that mindset, remove that from your head by all means. It’s not gonna help you. When we speak of word count, almost all of my articles here reach the 1000-plus figure. Some of my earlier posts were 800 words only, but I vow never to do that again.

Some of my posts here even reach up to 1600 words, some of them reach 2000. I’m not saying that you should always reach that word count, but if you want to be respected as a writer here, or anywhere else on the internet, never publish super-short articles.

From my experience, posting articles that don’t reach my ideal word count gives the readers the feeling, that I am someone who has no in-depth knowledge of what I’m talking about. And if I don’t know what I’m talking about, why should people read my posts?

This is not a solid rule, but it is something that you should think about. I don’t know about the most famous writers here, but for me, having a 1000-plus word count on my articles is something like a philosophical attitude that I instilled in myself.

It’s my way of saying that I love to write, and that I love discussing the topics that are closest to my heart in an in-depth manner. That’s why posting super-short articles about them… is a big “no-no” for me.

2. Proofread your work well and give it some impressive formatting.

In addition to word count, here’s something you should put into very high consideration: proofread your articles thoroughly before publishing them... always! Is this hard to do? No, mainly because we have tools like Grammarly that can really help us in committing fewer mistakes.

Some writers here are so headstrong and swift – they write and publish, write and publish, but don’t proofread their work enough. I’ve had my fair share of getting noticed for my typos, that’s why I’m doing my very best to avoid them these days.

Your writings will define your digital existence. If they’re not neat enough, then maybe your messed-up too as a person, from a digital perspective at least.

Another thing you really have to bear in mind is that aspects like bold, italic, and heading styles are meant to emphasize, not to make text larger just for the heck of it. I notice some writers here who format an entire paragraph as bold, my friends, please… that’s not a very cool thing to do.

Making text fatter and larger are meant for titles and subheadings, they are not meant for entire paragraphs, which will make your articles uglier than they already are. Trust me.

So if you want to be noticed by the Random Rewarder, and if you want people to have a glance at your articles, so they will read and give comments on them, proofread and give impressive formatting like a pro!

3. Work hard, but work patiently.

This is the most important rule of all, but oftentimes, it is the most overlooked. During my first 2 weeks here, nothing was happening in my posts – No comments, no point earnings, no likes, no dislikes…. Nada.

But then, something happened, that cute robot with the RR initials gave some points. I used it to boost some of my older posts, I continually posted 1 article per day, then BOOM! 2 freaking dollars daily! Sometimes, it reaches 4, but I said that already, didn’t I?

So here’s the thing, you won’t get anything at all with your first posts, but if you mix your efforts with a little patience, and of course, if you consider the above-mentioned tips in action, YOU WILL BE REWARDED, I GUARANTEE!

Before you leave, I would like to make some shoutouts to my coolest friends here.

They keep my every Read.Cash session meaningful, and they sometimes bring tears to my eyes… in a joyful way (ang corny, napaka-OA, hehehe.)

@sirmagz32 – Who inspired me to write this article you’re reading right now.

@Hari – Who introduced Read.Cash to me, he started it all, and made me a… eherm… star blogger here, hehehe.

@Jane – My secret crush here in Read.Cash. Ooops, not much of a secret now, is it?

And to all of my other loyal commentators that I failed to mention, my deepest gratitude to all of you.

There will be more of me in the next days, weeks, and hopefully, months. Until then… Excelsior!
