[August Monthly Report] 100 Paid Notes Sold! 900 Followers! Packed with "Firsts"
Time flies, and this is already the third time I've written one of these monthly reports that everyone seems to be doing.
I used to wonder, "Why do people write monthly reports?" but looking back at my monthly achievements, I realize I've actually done quite a lot.
I had so many first-time experiences!
August was packed with firsts, including announcing a workshop, joining a membership, my first bylined article, selling 100 paid notes, and reaching 900 followers.
August Work Highlights
100 Paid Note Articles Sold!
I received a notification from note that they send out periodically: "Your articles have been purchased a total of 100 times!" This really got me excited!
I have nothing but gratitude for those who bought them, read them, and supported me by spreading the word.
嬉しいお知らせ!

ご縁に感謝です。ありがとうございます!! pic.twitter.com/91T7wEYHVa
Recently, I've even started receiving likes, warm comments, and messages from people I have no prior connection with. I received a message like this just this morning, and it made me feel so warm and happy.
Kanazawa-san, your talk about "note is a team sport"
made me think, "I see! That makes sense." Thank you!
13 Sign-ups for the note Workshop
Until now, I've provided support and instruction at entrepreneurship schools and offered personal writing support, but this was the first time I announced a note workshop in the form of a "public notice."
It's been almost 100 days since I started writing on note.
Now, I can't get enough of writing.
When I thought about "Why do I find this so fun?", the first thing that came to mind was the existence of the friends I've met through note.
I planned this workshop because I wanted to share with others how my daily life became more enjoyable through my interactions with them.
The participants are taking initiative and actively setting up a "system to connect horizontally through note."
I can't wait to see what kind of miracles will happen!
My First Bylined Article!
I've been working as a writer for a year and a half.
I've delivered over 500 SEO articles so far, but due to contracts with clients, none of them could be made public.
This is my first bylined article as "Writer Miwa Kanazawa"!!
I want to become an interview writer who can express the thoughts of working women.
I have many articles planned for release, so I want to finish writing them quickly!!
Since I expect to have more articles where I personally conduct interviews and reporting, I'm thinking of creating a separate account for interviews!
Things I worked hard on and challenges I took on
The Space session with LP writer Kaji-san was fun!
Kaji-san and I were in a relationship where we might have seen each other a few times in the same community, but didn't really know much about each other...
Under the guise of a 'self-introduction Space,' I asked Kaji-san all about his past.
It was a touching moment to hear the story of how he took a leap of faith into the world of writing to protect his wife, who had fallen ill, and his young children.
Stories from people who work with passion resonate more than any know-how. It was a valuable opportunity that gave me the courage to say, 'I'll do my best too.'
[Correspondence] is also fun!
The correspondence I started with fellow web writer wakka-san.
Simply put, it's pen-palling on the web.
About travel, family, and the final day that will come someday even if we are afraid of it...
I am writing down things I suddenly feel in my daily life in letters.
Things that made me happy / Reactions
900 note followers
On August 31st, I reached 900 note followers.
I don't think followers are everything, but it's honestly nice when the work you've done shows up as results in numbers.
Next is 1,000!
I want to continue enjoying writing.
noteのフォロワー900人になりました!🙌

次は1,000人を目指して、「書くことの楽しさ」をさらに広めたいです。 pic.twitter.com/3FopY4UokO
Lots of happy reports!
I've received many good reports from those who participated in the irregular note consultation sessions and from my note writing support services!!
Results of trying free distribution and mass-producing 100-yen notes...
いろんな値段でnote売ってみたけれど、100円で売るのがいちばん楽で、売り上げが高い気がします。
— 金沢 美和|note案内人 (@manasaka55) August 29, 2025
買ってくださった方の応援ができていればいいのですが。
実はここ数日いろいろと検証中でございまして。
拡散無料よりも100円で売っちゃったほうが売れております。…
So far, I have the impression that 100-yen notes are easier for people to pick up than free distribution. This article has already been purchased about 25 times.
Today is the anniversary of my first note purchase. It's a big step.
I even received such a happy comment!
I think it takes courage to purchase a note written by someone you don't know.
Even so, I think the reason I receive such happy comments and messages is that I value not just information, but "stories" in my regular posts.
Insights and Learnings
Growing while positively influencing each other in the Note Operation Challenge Club
In the note membership hosted by Natsume Yamaguchi, we are interacting happily while leveraging each other's strengths and receiving positive influence, rather than just being overly familiar.
These days, I deeply feel how important the environment you are in is.
Decided to use the "Yurari Consultation Room" as an interview writer
When I learned that Yurari-san, whom I respected and admired as a writer, was opening a "Yurari Consultation Room," I signed up immediately.
I have requested two consultations and interview practice sessions per month.
Since it is a "consultation room," the stance of walking alongside me is very comfortable.
「ゆらり相談室」を利用しております。

ゆらりさんの「聞いてくれる」スタイルが居心地◎!
その上で「こうすればいいんじゃないですかね?」とアドバイスいただけるので、「自分でやりたい!でもちょっと教えてほしい」と思う私にはピッタリです( *´艸`) https://t.co/AtQ5HICGk1
Private life is also fulfilling
Traveling across half of Japan by highway bus and ferry
Taking advantage of summer vacation, I went on a solo trip traveling a long distance using highway buses and ferries.
I discovered the secret to notes that get read to the end through the way a station attendant handled things at an Osaka station. By the way, this is a note I wrote later at a fast-food restaurant during my trip.
I also had a health checkup! lol
Healthy information is born from a healthy body!
I had a stomach endoscopy for the first time in 10 years.
September Outlook and Goals
The workshop I recruited for in August is finally being held.
Since many energetic people have gathered, I want us all to liven things up together.
And in October, I am also planning a continuous course for writing and selling paid notes!
I think it's about time to announce it!
I want to increase the number of interview articles and build a track record.
Currently writing PR projects using note.
Also providing support for note management and audience growth.
I am always looking for someone who wants to do something interesting together.
I don't have anything specific in mind, but I want to host an exciting event that involves a lot of people.
I am also active as an "Interview Writer who Conveys Thoughts and Feelings"!
Through interviews, I convey the philosophies and visions of entrepreneurs and companies.
Please fill out the form below with your contact information and the details of your inquiry, then send it.
I have no idea where I will end up as a Web writer, but it doesn't feel bad at all; in fact, wonderful connections are expanding more and more.
I want to cherish these connections and continue having fun in September.
Thank you again for today!

On a separate account, I am writing about the small feelings I suddenly notice in my daily life in letters to wakka-san.
