<p>Two cents is a website that rewards creators for …</p><p>Lol, yes. If you're here, you should know a bit of what it is about.</p><p>I don't want to bore you out. This isn't a lecture on how to use TwoCents. Big Dee already wrote something concerning that in the most detailed and interactive way ever. </p><p>You can take a slight detour to her page to check it out : </p><p><a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://www.twocents.space/insight/so-you-joined-twocents-now-what-8101/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.twocents.space/insight/so-you-joi... </a></p><p>read up on how to properly navigate this app, I will recommend this insight to any one who is confused about what we do here exactly.</p><p>...</p><p>I was bored and at home. When I texted the person who referred me here(tag ealo).</p><p>She introduced me to this app with glee and gusto but I just left it sitting for almost a month. I was at sea. The questionable agility of network providers who should ferry this boat left me incapable for a while. This, coupled with the fact that I didn't understand anything about this app at first. </p><p><br/></p><p>Then one day, like magic.I came ashore.I think it's appropriate to even call it a miracle. All the elements came together with me and my first insight was <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://birthed.It" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">birthed.It </a> was something that had been on my mind. A situation of things that I'd been vehemently worried about . I posted it here.</p><p><br/></p><p>For the first time in my writing journey. I wasn't shouting to the wind. I was actually writing and people were responding.</p><p><br/></p><p>My joy knew no bounds. It leapt out and formed a huge smile on my face. I was grinning from ear to ear. My writer spark returned.</p><p>I was writing and people were responding in real time. There was active feedback. My writing muscles really wanted to grow.</p><p><br/></p><p>Thanks to this amazing platform. I have gotten inspiration from many people here. Big Dan has written insights that made me read them more than two times. I am astounded by so many writers here. However , This story sits in my heart. Like a little imprint on a wall that nobody cares to take away.</p><p> <a class="tc-blue external-link" href="https://www.twocents.space/insight/why-i-write-about-story-the-way-i-do-7551/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.twocents.space/insight/why-i-writ... </a></p><p><br/></p><p>It made me see how all of our experiences come together. I've read a lot of amazing work here and I love every bit of it. Shout-out to everyone writing. Like I always say: “keep writing!!!”.</p><p><br/></p><p>Yes, About writing: Are we really making efforts to improve our crafts as we write? </p><p>When I just started writing. I used to go with the flow so much. I just put pen to paper and wrote. </p><p>It wasn't that bad. But it could very well use a bit of improvement. I started to learn more about grammar. I started to read about how to write the things I wrote. I started to read too.</p><p>I read a lot. This really helped me significantly. It is wise to read like a writer. ( There's a whole YouTube video talking about that 😂).</p><p>Yeah. So this is a challenge to everyone here, including myself. Make sure that every week. You learn a thing or two about how to write.</p><p>And when you do, you can talk about it here on two cents. (P.S Tag me!!!).</p><p><br/></p><p>Two cents helps me exercise my writing muscles. It helps me to scream my vexations out to a world of ready ears. For this I'm grateful. I'm also grateful for Tobi and Cyrus. I mean. They came up with something monumental that has helped a lot of people. It isn't easy to build something this magnificent.</p><p><br/></p><p>One thing I'm also grateful to them for is the fact that they are ever ready to listen to the complaints of everyone. Customer support is at an all time high. </p><p>In a world where everything is becoming engineered and doctored. Two cents is my breath of fresh air. The long form content also makes me pause and slow down.</p><p>I look forward to reading more things on two cents. I look forward to writing more. I look forward to everyone's comments and insights. I look forward to a bigger two cents .</p><p>In the words of zig ziglar “See you at the top!”</p><p><br/></p><p>Thank you for reading.</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
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
