$5 pledge

Five years ago, because I couldn't give up my love for typing keyboards, and I wanted a place where I could share my historical notes, I applied for an online space as my own writing world.

In about five years, I actually only wrote about 300 articles, and on average, about 60 articles a year, that is, about one article a week. Even though there are a lot of ideas to write about, it is always the habit of using busyness as an excuse. Therefore, after five years, the website traffic is not high, and even the Google adsense that has been applied for for many years has passed for a long time. It was not until the fourth year of setting up the website that he accumulated more than sixty dollars in income.

Since Google adsense has to accumulate 100 US dollars to get it, I also estimate that it will take about six or seven years to accumulate 100 US dollars, or about 3,000 Taiwan dollars in income. At that time, the annual rent of the website was about NT$600. Although it was still not enough to make ends meet, at least it would not burden the family's finances too much because of the website.

However, when some parents shared my website and my website's popularity gradually increased, Google adsense blocked my account due to abnormal traffic, which made the more than 60 dollars that I have accumulated over the past four years to be wasted. Coupled with the huge increase in website traffic and overload, the website rent has to be increased to more than 1,000 yuan a year when the website traffic must be increased. I was planning to close the website, and after seeing the enthusiastic support of many parents, I finally decided to bite the bullet and continue to operate the website. But I also found that my motivation to write was fading.

When I was tired, I saw the likecoin mechanism, and then I started to write in Matt City.

I just want to say: it's really cool to be here to write!

Never before has my passion for writing been so energized that one article a day makes me think I'm a columnist. Although the number of clapping is not as many as the masters, it has steadily increased.

The most important thing is that I have four subscribers who subscribe to my articles for $5 per month, which makes me feel responsible for writing more than one article every day even if I want to be lazy. For the 5 dollars, I will definitely write more than 30,000 words of articles every month; for the 5 dollars, I cannot and dare not relax.

Although, I don't know how I actually get the $5? Although I have accumulated a small amount of like coin, I don't know how to convert it into cash? But seeing the number of like coin increasing bit by bit every day, I am very moved.

It makes me want to say it again: meeting you here and writing here is one of the happiest things in my life. Thank you, everyone, and the subscribers, thank you.
