Hello to fellow writers aka friends!

Hello to the friend who claps any article!

Hello to the friend who comments on every story that the read was good!

Hello to the friend who always tries to shower others with positive energy!

And hello to the friend, who just gave a visit since it had a cute baby picture!

What’s up Aswin?

What’s up, guys? Long time no see…👀
I’m in a position where I read many stories whilst writing now. Focusing on writing 3–5 article/month and pray that one goes viral 😛
Don’t worry until now it never happened also no curation to any of my thoughtful articles.

Rest assured, “How my article got viral that earned $1k in 4 days” kinda one will not be published at my end.

What about your July month journey?

Ah, I know you guys are quite eager to know about my July month travel, which paid me $33 — after-tax deduction of 15% it is $28.63.

Although, a bumpy ride for me, went through many learning phases in the writing journey.

July 3: The very first story of my June month is about unexpected surprises that topped the Medium Partner Program.

July 5: The 2nd story of the month is a response prompt to “The Pink” publication started by Ritika Sharma.

July 6: The 3rd story — which is close to my ears, not my heart. Nah.

The inspiration I took from sound — the creator have resonated with many writers and two of them responded to my rhythmic prompt as well.

Glad that I got eyes from beautiful writers out there which are 9999x better satisfying than earning from MPP.

Cool, so what’s up with the $100 mentioned in the subtitle?

Here come the curious minds. I appreciate it. Believe me, it’s not clickbait.

So I was just scrolling the mails, one of the mail said “The side Hustle Club writing contest”. As I once subscribed to one of this publication called “The Side Hustle Club”, have received this email.

I read the rules, submitted them before the deadline and didn’t care…

But,

I was waiting for the result which will be sent in Aug 2 newsletter.
Reloaded the Gmail, after a small work, then cling 2 mails from the editor head and newsletter highlighted at the top of the mails.

So much delighted after I get to receive the prize of $100 from Marx D.🤝🏻
He asked for my PayPal address and sent it right away!

Much props to this guy 🥂 for starting this writing contest encouraging writers who surpassed other eye-catchy contests that end up fooling us.

Yeah, even if it doesn't come under MPP, it is indeed through my writings!

Congrats, what’s with the vocal surprise survey then?

I got one of the mail from Vocal that seemed like a copy of medium’s writer survey, yet vocal actually pays writers for the response instead of donating.

Gave out a valid response in 5 mins. In the end, they asked this too👇🏻

A creative move by the vocal community to improve themselves by conducting research interviews with $100USD.

Let’s see what more they have to offer! 🧐

July 29: Medium’s announcement on writer’s challenge, which I read from the LinkedIn post, made me summarize them all in one place.

That’s all, folks!

Never expect, never rely on

Just hustling hard and on…🤟🏻

Thanks for giving it a time, friend❤🌞

And hey❗
