It’s more of a deep sense of self-reliance.</p><p><br/></p><p>I know I can’t do it all by myself, but asking for help? That’s hard. Maybe it’s not pride. Maybe it’s the fear of being let down — again. When you’ve been disappointed too many times, you start convincing yourself it’s safer to do it all alone. After all, you can’t be disappointed if you don’t “appoint” anyone, right?</p><p><br/></p><p>But deep down, I know this isn’t the way it should be. No man is an island. (Women included — don’t come for me 😅). The truth is, we’re all meant to depend on each other, in some way or another.</p><p><br/></p><p>That sense of “I don’t need anyone” — yeah, it feels like strength, but if we’re honest, it’s a quiet kind of pride. And that pride builds walls. It keeps us isolated even when we don’t want to be.</p><p><br/></p><p>So here’s the hard part: we have to fight it. We have to learn to trust again — not just in others, but in the idea that we’re worthy of support. Because we’re not islands. We never were.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 winners are picked
by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
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.
Contributor Rankings
The Contributor Rankings shows the Top 20 Contributors on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis.
The all-time ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on TwoCents — these are community members that have engaged the most with other user's content.
