Moxiesplaining Journal Day 10: Easing the Way for Writers A few ways Moxie Everyday Rewards help make life easier for heavily time-constrained and/or cash-strapped writers on Farcaster: - Rewards aren’t directly tied to any particular subject matter specifics. This helps create more latitude for intrinsically motivated (but still paid) writing. - Distribution happens in the background; claiming is straightforward. No need to chase your earnings. The reduction in mental load and effort (compared to tipping tokens) helps free up that much more time and cognitive energy for writing. - Lowers the barriers for niche writers with modest followings to start earning, which can help them bootstrap small businesses. Less time spent pursuing uncertain funding sources (e.g., grants, prize pools, etc.) translates into more time for writing. How does Moxie make *your* life easier? (Moxiesplaining Journal is a daily window into my observations, learnings, and the view of Moxie from where I sit as a writer + editor).

Moxie Fan Tokens are turning out to be a better-for-me savings plan than traditional fiat savings, where I'm more likely to use the money for life because life is expensive and makes savings hard. It's easier to justify holding the Fan Tokens because they're earning at a significantly higher rate than any traditional fiat savings account anyway. Daily Rewards are obviously great. I use some for fan tokens, but absolutely cash some out because, again, life is expensive - and my life is relatively cheap, but even so, my budget is stretched most months and Moxie has started to ease that some. And it's not just creating content that earns Moxie. I can ease back on some of the mental load of creating content and just browse for conversations that spark my interest because a good reply can get as much as or even more than the OP cast. So now I can take my time and work on what I *really* want to work on.

It's so motivating to have more latitude to do the work you actually *want* to do AND earn from it daily. Combine that with the reduced effort required to claim Everyday Rewards and it's even better. I also really love the fact that good replies can earn as much as or more than top-level casts. I feel like that reduces the pressure on me as a writer to consistently come up with lots and lots of high-quality engaging top-level casts. It also motivates me to reply to others even more than I was already. Ever since I joined FC I've made more casts as replies than I have as top-level casts, and Moxie incentivizes me to lean into that.
