What have you got to lose?

NOTE: FOR TESTING ONLY! Medium? Writers should be paid 100% it is an art and a science to put words together so well getting cents on th dollar.

Popular Topics to Write About on Medium
  • Personal Development and Self-improvement. …
  • Tech Trends and Updates. …
  • Health and Wellness. Social Issues and Advocacy. …
  • Entrepreneurship and Business. …
  • Productivity and Work Culture. …
  • Creative Writing and Storytelling. 
Does Medium pay South African writers?
Medium doesn’t allow writers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Brazil, or several other Southeast Asia, Africa, or South American countries to earn money from the Medium Partner Program. But if you’re serious about writing, you should definitely still continue writing on Medium. 07 Jan 2022 
This is nothing new. The strong take advantage of the week.  If it was a reason but every reason will just make them look more and more foolish or greedy. PayPal, similar thing. They did not care for such a small market but it was suggested some marketing strategy. Not a profitable market but it would be good for their brand. Wow! They did the usual thing miners, all business big and small business the Guptas and the banks went along with PayPal. One bank did called FNB. They marketed PayPal like banks provide private banking services to the super rich. I am not speaking of earnings of a few million Rand or even USD. I mean $USD billionaires. The local private banking offered by commercial banks hand it out to anyone who is not poor. Living below the poverty line. OK so you need a contact something like the souls who have a family connection to the 2000. I say 2000 but its more like 30 000 those our government empower. Its worse than Russia. I read an article about a week ago and I was shock to hear a lady previously disadvantages saying not out of anger and not like this is written. She could write. The way she wrote it was really convincing something abouyt the Boers not just about power the entire experience. Imagine anyone wishing to go back to Apartheid. Now you may begin to understand how corruption and autocracy for the 200 how bad it s is and getting worse.  ands  id they capitalize on a market  most 

I want to know platforms like Medium for those people who can write. Funny I ask as I can promise you you will never find anyone who writes as badly as I do. Beside that if you can write and you get whatever per minute or per view. Am I correct to think the writer receives a percentage of the membership fee?  Let us say they charge whatever. $100.00 annually.  Am I correct when I say they have no other revenue? So give me an idea if they have revenue from subscriptions of $100m annually what percent % do they pay out? Please don’t answer telling me its worked out otr decided. I am only interested as it always works backwards. They pay out based on the revenue received.   I would guess generally speaking other companies like other pay out cents on the dollar. Do you think they pay more than 70% to writers. If you could recieve $0.50 from each reader you would be making a lot more money. The platform not as payment must go direct to weriters otherwise you just working for the payment gateway. Last question. Do you have your articles on multiple sites your own blog plus Medium? Or only medium. Is it worth advertising it on other sites? just added that s they don’t shut me down.  how For the first 50 members who register a store, campaign, or simply provide their email address and pick a name or store name, we will automatically send you an email to inform you if your company has been accepted as an advertiser on Feedonomy.

Emma Thompson and Aisling Bea urge UK banks to stop financing fossil fuels

Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry and Aisling Bea are among celebrities calling on the five of the UK’s biggest High Street banks to stop financing new oil, gas and coal projects.

It follows criticism that HSBC, Barclays, Santander, NatWest and Lloyds are funding "fossil fuel expansion" despite making green pledges.

Businesses and charities like Greenpeace also back the campaign.

HSBC and Barclays said they were helping their clients to cut emissions.

The Make My Money Matter campaign points to research by environmental charity Rainforest Action Network, which claims that between 2016 and 2021, HSBC, Barclays, Santander, NatWest and Lloyds funnelled almost $368bn (?ú298bn) towards the fossil fuel industry.

It added that in the same time period, the lenders financed the 50 companies making the biggest investments in oil and gas projects to the tune of $141bn.

It added that while HSBC and LLoyds had made "welcome new announcements" on stopping direct finance for new fossil fuel expansion since then, "there is a long way to go".

"HSBC was this month found to have provided $340m to a company opening a new coal mine in Germany," it said.

The campaign, which is also backed by actor Mark Rylance and musician Brian Eno, urges the public to sign an open letter asking the banks to stop directly financing projects that expand fossil fuel use, or end relationships with clients that do.ÔÇ»

The campaign’s founder, filmmaker Richard Curtis, said he wanted to put "a fire under the banks".

"It’s clear that new oil and gas fields are not only hugely damaging to the planet, but they’re also wildly unpopular with the public," he added.

Almost one third of HSBC, Barclays, Santander, NatWest and Lloyds’ customers surveyed by the campaign said that they would switch bank if they discovered that theirs was financing the expansion of fossil fuel projects.

Over 85% of customers at the five banks surveyed said they did not think that their bank was doing enough to tackle the climate crisis.

TV presenter Chris Packham CBE said that financial institutions had an "enormous ethical and moral responsibility" to start withdrawing funding from organisations that damaged the climate and biodiversity.

‘Significant impact’

High Street banks have made steps to loosen their ties to environmentally damaging companies.

  • HSBC told the BBC it no longer provided new finance or advice for new oil and gas fields. It added that "supporting clients in high-emitting sectors to decarbonise will have the most significant impact on emissions reduction".
  • Barclays said it would reduce its support for "carbon-intensive" companies over time if they were "unable or unwilling to reduce or eliminate their emissions". Since January 2019, it has not provided loans for the development or expansion of coal-fired power stations or greenfield thermal coal mines.
  • NatWest Group said the bank no longer lent to or underwrote coal or major oil and gas producers "unless they have a credible transition plan in line with the Paris Agreement". It said this had resulted in a ?ú1bn drop in fossil fuel financing at the bank.
  • Santander said it is "fully committed" to supporting the transition to net zero and won’t finance new projects to produce oil.

Britain’s biggest domestic bank, Lloyds, announced it would stop "direct" financing to develop new oil and gas fields in October. The BBC has also contacted Lloyds for comment.

Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, 197 countries agreed to try to keep temperature rises "well below" 1.5C to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Experts say that to achieve this, countries must have net zero emissions by 2050.

Africa’s path to clean mobility — driven by motorcycles

Africa’s path to clean mobility — driven by motorcycles -?á23 December, 2022 17:26

A lack of infrastructure in parts of Africa has made unregulated, gas-powered motorcycle taxis widespread — a system that gets people where they need to be, but heavily pollutes the air and excludes drivers from the formal economy. TED Fellow and entrepreneur Adetayo Bamiduro offers his vision for a cleaner, more equitable future, where an electric motorcycle service helps green Africa’s transportation and transform the lives and livelihoods of drivers.

I join you from Lagos, Nigeria, one of the largest cities in Africa. By 2050, Lagos will outgrow many of the largest cities of the world, including New York and Mexico City, and will be home to over 32 million people. By that same date, Nigeria will be home to more people than the United States. But there is a problem. Lagos and other African megacities suffer, or are plagued by, limited road infrastructure, pollution, congestion and poor safety conditions. This makes it very difficult for people to get to work, especially in low-income communities, where poverty infrastructure gaps are pervasive.

00:48

Enter the African motorcycle taxi driver. Driving on two and three wheels, they race through the congested streets of Africa, getting people and goods to where they need to be. Unfortunately, these drivers are excluded from the formal economy. Unable to afford to buy clean, efficient vehicles, they are left to rent old gas engines from exploitative loan sharks. Because of this tough situation that these drivers endure, they are often left to fend for themselves. Part of what they also endure and suffer is high cost of operations from these exploitative loan sharks. And also, these drivers pollute the environment. If nothing is done, pollution from two- and three-wheeled vehicles in Africa will hit 1.7 gigatonnes of emissions every year, according to our estimates. This is equivalent to pollution from two million Boeing 737 airplanes, every single year.

01:53

I left my engineering job in 2013 to go to MIT, where I met my cofounder, Chinedu Azodoh, a fellow engineer with similar dreams. We bonded about the realization that Africa was being left behind in the global transition to clean mobility. Inspired by the work of other innovators around the world, we chose to embark on a journey to create a three-part solution, which provides motorcycle taxi drivers in Africa access to electric vehicles, battery swaps and maintenance and also emergency assistance.

02:30

Here is how it works. Drivers sign up on the platform and instantly, they get access to an electric motorcycle and a full battery swap. So therefore, they’re able to save up and earn money to buy those vehicles. In addition, we also help lower their risks by providing them access to emergency response, health insurance and maintenance plans. This represents an integrated approach to the design, manufacturing, financing and operations of an electric mobility platform targeted at highly vulnerable, informal and unbanked people groups. The revenue from the drivers covers the cost of the electric fleet and the batteries, while the cost of R and D and technology is covered by our partners, including foundations, nonprofits and investors.

03:25

Meet Baba Gbenro, one of our drivers. Before signing up on our platform, he was a smallholder farmer, earning three dollars a day in the Gbamu Gbamu community in southwestern Nigeria. Tragedy struck when Baba Gbenro lost his first son. Without help, he struggled to transport farm produce and therefore could not make ends meet. After signing up on our platform, he immediately got access to an electric motorcycle plus a fully charged battery on a daily basis. This enabled him to be able to transport people in his community, make a little bit more money and also meet his obligations, including sending his younger son to school. Our platform enabled him to increase his net income, on a daily basis, from three dollars to six dollars.

04:14

To date, our platform has served a network of over 15,000 drivers, and our data shows that the average driver has about five dependents, meaning that our work has likely impacted over 75,000 livelihoods.

04:28

By 2025, our goal is to provide electric mobility solutions to over 150,000 of drivers. And if this idea really takes off, electric mobility innovators and climate entrepreneurs in Africa could jointly impact over 10 million motorcycle taxi drivers. By doing this, we will be helping to move the world’s youngest and fastest-growing continent towards a more sustainable and a prosperous future, and we will be creating jobs and reducing emissions.

05:05

Thank you very much.
