Thank you for the detailed explanation. I am still earning single digit per month. However I like and enjoy the process of
Being able to self publish
Write and learned more by writing for a variety of publications
Engaging in meaningful conversations instead of just wandering around looking at unrelated videos
Clapping and receiving claps from others
All the above mean a lot. One thing that I like is
Unlinke some websites that promise to pay and don't do, here if you are consistently writing and improving your work gets rewarded. Where it is one cent or one dollar. Seeing that builds confidence and raises our self esteem.
