Gabby, that's awesome. Congratulations to you. Ask any writer here. Your earnings are excellent for your first whole month. That shows that paying members found your article valuable. I remember reading your about me and was instantly drawn to you. Your energy is welcoming and infectious. You make me feel seen as a writer. When you comment and engage with me, you always go above and beyond, so I appreciate that. I don't talk about my earnings here, but most would be surprised. I make some steady change to get a double cheeseburger and fries...uh, maybe a drink, lol. My reader tribe isn't as strong as I would like it. I take accountability because I haven't been consistent, so I can't expect the readers to be. I have a couple, including yourself, that I'm blessed to have, so I will keep building off that. God is providing for you, and this is just the beginning. I prayed for you, and it looks like it happened—words of life and prayer work. So keep doing what you do, Gabby. Focus on your craft and the work and the money will come. I want you to know that your earnings inspire me but It's YOU that is the inspiration. Without the number,s you are enough. Again congrats. You deserve it.
