<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 the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The 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.
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.
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 "Top 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 "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
