I have tried that multiple times, and it does not work like that.
When you put hours of work and effort into an article, which earns $0.20, then that is really disappointing and discouraging.

Have you done it for years, so people can find you and see your work? Or is it just now and then you do? and which of your last posts within 7 days have been high quality?

I have been doing that. I reached the top 10 in the weekly engagement league.

How often does this happen? Only this 1 time? And being no.1 in Engagment doesn't mean its good/meaningful comments all the time.

But none of them really worked. At least not for me.

Which one? I can literally guide you if you need me to :D
