Nice great work Rahul!
Your welcome Maxi, glad you like it!
I added coil and Uphold to Hackernoon till now I have like 4 days and 12 hours read time but still, my uphold account is counting 0.
I have no idea what did I do wrong
Hey Jordan, you might not be doing anything wrong.
As mentioned not a lot of people have Coil so your reading time does not equal people with Coil reading.
I hope that makes sense?
If you yourself have Coil, activate the plugin and visit one of your articles for about a minute, you should now see some money come back in.
Now I get it, Thank you for your clarification
Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

If you are spending so much time writing your articles and helping people solve problems, then what's wrong with getting paid for it?
Nothing right!
So today I'll show you how to make money with your content if you are on either one of these websites:
We will be using Coil to get paid, which is an amazing system, you buy a subscription and every hour you spend on one specific content page you'll get $0,36.
As you can imagine it won't make you rich, but this is all early days.
To give you an overview, these are my earning till this day:

So to understand how this all works, there are two main systems.
If you're in the game to earn money, all you need is an Uphold account.
If you're also in it to give back to awesome writers, you can get a subscription at Coil and start paying other writers for the articles you read.
Once you've set up your Uphold account and created your default payment method, you'll be able to visit the "Add Funds" button on top and click "From Interledger Payment Pointer".

You will need the link that it shows and starts with:
$ilp.uphold.com/
If you're on Hashnode you can easily add your payment pointer to your profile by visiting your dashboard.
Next click on "Integrations", at the bottom you will see: Web Monetization Payment Pointer.
Paste your uphold link here.

Next, up dev.to just as easily allows payouts.
We can go to our settings > Misc > Web Monetization.
There we can add our payment pointer link.

Hackernoon is another blogging platform, and it too can allow payments through uphold.
Once you are logged in on Hackernoon you'll be able to go to Rewards and add your payment link here.

There you go, three platforms where we can add our uphold payment link!
