Not your usual relationship article

I wrote Going Out for a Massage Is Not Always a Bad Idea last September 2021. It got more than 1,000 reads with a read ratio of 46%. The article got some hate. On the other hand, it proves that readers are into controversial stories about love, sex, and relationships.

Business Ideas — Anyone?

Last August 27, 2021, I wrote How To Source Business Ideas Like A Pro. It is for readers who want to start something but have no idea where to begin in launching a business. It got a lot of views — but the read ratio is only 21%. Despite the low rate, it still earned me neat money.

Money Articles Never Grows Old

I wonder what happened to the Live Your Life On Purpose publication. They stopped publishing articles during the early month of 2021. As a new writer back then, I was accustomed to writing life stories. It is one of the publications that friendly accepted my stories as a new writer.

Despite the publication being inactive, my article 6 Money Lessons I Have Learned Before Turning 40 is one of my evergreen content that still keeps earning money. It got 1.5k reads to date at a 51% read ratio.
