<p>I stumbled on this platform on a friend's status, she had just posted her first insight and I was curious </p><p>"Twocents"</p><p>I was enticed by the allure of earning money from my thoughts or at least the possibility of it.</p><p>I wanted an opportunity to make a quick buck</p><p>"It'll be easy, I just have to do this and that"</p><p>Hilarious </p><p>I went through the site some more and did a quick scan of all those that came before me, taking note of their progress and I realised</p><p>Nothing about this easy...but it is fun </p><p>It's nice to have a place to air out your opinions and let your voice be heard peacefully without trolls or distractions </p><p>It's not chaotic like X but not pretentious like Reddit...just nice</p><p>The temptation to cheat for easy plot points using AI did come up but I promised myself this would be my special place where I say things unfiltered and direct from the source </p><p>Years ago, a younger me would've done anything to be a part of this but somewhere along the line, the desire to do things and be heard got lost in the currents of life </p><p>As someone struggling with mental health issues, I said I'd make this place my healing journey of sorts and maybe help someone along the way with my insights and I needed to remind myself my spark wasn't lost </p><p>So to the founders of TwoCents, thank you very much for helping me and countless others find our voices again.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
