note Tips for the First Time—The Day Someone's Loyalty Gave Me a Tip After 5+ Years, 240 Posts, and Nearly 0 Yen

Have you ever used the note tip feature?

I received a notification this morning.

"Ayako Ruruto sent you a tip."

It has been over 5 years since I started note.

It was my first tip ever.

What happened?

Let me organize the timeline.

Late night on March 26th—I wrote a thank-you post. It was to thank Ayako Ruruto for adding my article to 319 of her magazines.

Morning of March 26th—A tip arrived from Ayako Ruruto. It came with a message.

"I am grateful for our good connection. Thank you very much 💖💖💝 I look forward to our continued relationship 🙏"

I wrote a thank-you post, and a tip came back.

The meaning of the tip

The amount is small.
(It is very rude to say so, but 💦 I don't want to lie.)

However, this tip has a special meaning for me.

There was a period where I wrote for over 5 years and more than 240 posts, earning almost 0 yen. Days of writing paid articles that didn't sell continued. Even when I mass-produced review articles, they didn't reach anyone.

I wrote about that record here.

Paid articles started selling in December of this year. I have had sales for 4 consecutive months. And this morning, I received my first tip.

It was the moment when loyalty turned into numbers.

The reason I have designed my 'engawa' (veranda) as a side hustle on note is condensed right here.

The circulation of the engawa has been completed.

Looking back, this is how it happened.

Ayako Ruruto commented on my AI hallucination article.

→ Ayako Ruruto wrote an appreciation post.
→ I wrote an appreciation post.

Gratitude called for more gratitude, and it turned into a tip.

This is the design philosophy of the Engawa. Loyalty is the most efficient customer acquisition tool. Even without trying to go viral on social media, as long as this cycle keeps spinning, your note will grow.

I wrote here about how writing one appreciation post came back to me elevenfold.

The article explaining the entire Engawa mechanism is here.

This is why I am convinced that you can monetize note without social media.

The Engawa Magazine is here. Just follow it to be featured.

To Ayako Ruruto

I have received your tip.

It is the first tip I have received after writing for over five years. It wasn't about the amount; I was just happy that your loyalty took a tangible form.

Reading Ayako Ruruto's note, it is clear that for her, writing is directly linked to living. She continues to write during the remission phase of her bipolar disorder, combining AI and nursing care.

I believe that attitude is the reason she came to the Engawa.

I look forward to our continued connection.

Ayako Ruruto's articles are here. It is a magazine that continues to support people who are struggling to grow on note.

To those aiming to monetize note

Appreciation posts called for more appreciation posts, and it turned into a tip.
