I have always maintained that once I write an article, it is out of my hands as I can’t really predict how readers will respond to it. This is certainly true because my non-crypto articles sometimes receive more tips than the crypto ones, thus debunking the generalisation that crypto articles will definitely do pretty well on Publish0x.

But have I really kept track of the articles that garner me more tips than usual and explored the reasons why? Have I even collected data that will inform my future writing? So I thought I will sit down and do some sleuthing. Here are my top 8 grossing articles on Publish0x:

1. How Publish0x Transformed My Life (87 cents)

Even though I don’t know you in person, our patronage of Publish0x binds us together. So, I guess readers’ curiosity was piqued as to how a blogging site could exercise such a significant impact on my life. 

2. I Succumbed To FUD And Pulled Out All My Funds From Kucoin…Which Turned Out To Be Pleasant (80 cents)

Another thing you and I have in common is our use of Kucoin. Given that crypto exchanges are falling apart one by one, I guess readers were interested to know about the FUD associated with Kucoin and why I found the withdrawal of funds to be a pleasant experience.

3. How to be Happy at Publish0x (51 cents) 

The pursuit of happiness continues with Publish0x, so this feel-good article must have resonated with readers who adore Publish0x to death. Positive vibes only!

4. One Secret to Earn Crypto With Your Writing (39 cents)

This article could be ranked 4th because I appealed to the readers’ love of writing and promised to reveal a less-known tip on how I earn crypto via my writing. I hope some of my readers have since joined me to write stuff for the Cointest competition organised by r/cryptocurrency.

5. [With Screenshots] 7 Reasons We Should Use #TallyHo Wallet (39 cents)

One thing I love about the Publish0x community is how you guys generously support each other’s work, even if the articles are submitted for a writing competition. I’m not particularly competitive but I can imagine some of my countrymen purposely not wanting to tip articles written by their “rivals”, in an attempt not to show attention to their work. But entries written for a competition typically earn higher tips than usual, which explains why the mere act of joining makes everyone a winner.

6. 10 Reasons Why Japan Is Awesome (35 cents) 

What can I say? Everyone loves Japan.

7. Organising a Spelling Bee (34 cents) 

I would never have thought of writing about spelling if I didn’t have to do it as part of my job. I guess this is something new I learn about you guys - you would be attracted to something decidedly uncryptolike as a Spelling Bee.

8. Spelling Words for Quarter Finals (33 cents) 

I came up with the spelling list on a Sunday, so I’m great that my overtime work paid off in terms of tips. Regardless of how the quarter final turns out, I already got my validation!

Closing Remarks

Seems like popular topics that struck a chord with the crowd here include writing, Publish0x, and spelling. Let’s see if these topics will strike gold for me in August!
