Over the course of my time spend on Publish0x, I have written and published a total of 16 articles.
Let's look at which ones did best along with my overall earnings and engagement.
Views and Earnings
Here is the data organized into a neat table:
The best performing article was "Metaverse ads are coming. And you won't be able to look away" while the worst performing was "A Look At 3 Top-Ranked Location-Based VR Venues". Interestingly the top performing articles were not related to crypto or blockchain.
My total earnings amount to $4.09 (based on today's prices).
That's not a lot, but what is equally, if not more, important is user engagement. After all articles are meant to be read.
Let's look at the number of comments in each article of my articles (excluding replies and my own comments).

One thing that seems clear is that engagement visibly dropped in 2024.
Comparison
I also publish my articles on Hive, Medium and a couple other blogging platforms. Since I don’t publish the same content across all platforms, direct comparisons are difficult, but generally Publish0x isn't faring as badly as one might think.
For example Medium offers the most engagement but only if your articles are free. Once you set articles to "Premium" the number of views drops significantly. Hive on the other hand offers the best payouts but engagement can be hit and miss - it's easy for your articles to get lost in the void. There are also plenty other platforms, like read.cash that I have tried but didn't find enough readers to keep going.
Let me know what are your opinions (and experiences) about Publish0x! Have a great day and keep on rocking in the Fediverse.
