Hello to everyone visiting this community!

I just wanted to apologize to everyone, as I didn't want to spam here.

After communicating with several members of the community, I've decided to stop posting for some time, until I make an article that suits this community better.

My last post remains the "No title writing challenge!" , which is a writing prompt for a contest organized by me. And sposored by me. The deadline for submissions is 17.6.2026. and the first prize is 100€ and a featured story in my publication. So check it out if you want to share a personal essay.

I've come to this community in order to get feedback and share my work, as well as to promote my publication and reach more readers and writers. I don't sell anything. I just want to find real people who like to read and write and to build something together.

I wish the best to all! :)

I hope you liked my text. I think it is an important topic and want to learn more on it.

[-] Free_eye@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

But I shared a friend link, which means you can read it.

Here it is one more time: https://medium.com/1st-division/the-real-matrix-is-here-it-is-worse-than-you-think-5c054200b27e?sk=7b9f09e54bde30c5771644192079fe18

And it is also linked in the beginning of the article.

[-] Free_eye@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I don't understand what the problem is, I have the artistic right to style it as I like, I guess.

[-] Free_eye@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

OK, I will stop posting in .ml

[-] Free_eye@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

If you're refering to me in any way, I would like to hear why am I asshole? :(

Tnx! :D

[-] Free_eye@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's a total fiasco according to the votes!

I'm working on a big article on this theme to clarify the aspects of this topic.

Stay tuned!

:P

[-] Free_eye@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Well, I'm sorry if you find it dumb. I try to point out the problem of fake accounts on the networks today. And the whole chasing of the algorithm circus.

The truth is, I rushed with publishing this time, will do a much better article on this theme in a few days...

:D

[-] Free_eye@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

And just one more thing. When I wrote this article, my earnings for December were 0.56$

Today, 19 days later, my total earnings are 3.93$

I hope to earn a little bit more this month to cover the monthly subscription! :D

  1. I think not, as far as I can see, you can edit your header and banner, not many options are offered, but I'm not sure

  2. I don't have Substack or Ghost, I only use Medium and share friend links to those articles on social media and online communities

  3. It depends. It is good to have this distribution system, but don't rely solely on it.

Let's say for article like this, which I shared on several places outside Medium - external traffic referrals are 60% and above.

Some traffic comes from algorithms and internal distribution system, some from email subscribers and followers, some from shares, but what can really improve your traffic in terms of reads and engagement is reading other's work and engaging with the articles you find good and interesting.

Participating in writing challenges is also a great way of boosting activity. Since it is a reader fund platform, it is a sort of hybrid between blog and social media.

So I can say, depending on my activity and efforts, the numbers will change accordingly.

And be sure to connect with real people, since there are a lot of bots, which I wrote about in a few articles.

  1. Analytics is their own. I doubt you can integrate anything here.

  2. I think there is no problem with incorporating various kinds of content in your article. I only put photos and You tube videos sometimes.

  3. When you hit publish, you can choose to publish or schedule for later

  4. I don't know if there is more users using the desktop version or the mobile app. As I said, for the traffic is really good to engage with other writers.

I have some that I really appreciate. Some are poets, some write essays, some are professionals in certain fields of work and write about it, and some are here to heal.

Getting to know real authors from all around the world with unique voices is such an awesome feeling, and the benefits of connections like this are a lot. Not just personal, but it also moves the algorithm, I guess.

What I want to say is, it is better to have 50 real, active followers and readers, than 1000 empty ones, just numbers.

  1. I don't quite understand this last question. If you can clarify a little bit. Sorry, English is not my native language.

I hope I offered some answers!

[-] Free_eye@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I just spend 20 min on writing my answer just to delete it by clicking something wrong...... will write one more time XD

[-] Free_eye@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It started with work on the 1st of December, and for now, it is only on medium, but I have big plans for the future.

There is no theme or niche. The most important thing is authenticity and honesty.

It can be a personal essay, a real-life story, an industry insight, a humorous take on life, a taboo topic, or a beautiful poem.

I don't accept listicles, AI-generated content, and content with a main focus on earning online.

So far, there are authors from the USA, South Africa, South Wales, Croatia, India, and more to come.

To participate in this writing challenge, you don't need to be a paying member, you can log in to medium with a gmail.

I'm here for any further questions :)
