Reading and Writing Tips
Remember: Reading Time Counts, Not Claps
The platform is watching and our stats show and tell the truth
Hello,
If you’re reading this — thank you because reading time is important, measured and the only way we get paid. So I truly appreciate you taking the time to actually read my piece. Consequently, following message isn’t for you — but please feel free to share and comment.
This message is for my fellow writers on various platforms that promise to “read, clap and follow” and don’t read, follow or give 1 or no claps. I’ve written about this before:
I’m not a pro, but I’ve been a Top Writer a few times during my 3 years on this platform. I’ve written over 400 articles here and on 3 other platforms and 30+ publications. I have close to 10,000 followers across various accounts and sites. As you can see my stats are modest compared to professional writers with millions of articles, followers and devoted fans.
