For starters, you need to value your privacy a little more, which means you don't need to display your email in public - unless you want to get a lot of messages from people with malicious intent, or at best a lot of spam.
I think it's a throwaway email address as OP doesn't seem to care hiding it till now despite your warning. Many people who use Gmail addresses intentionally use them for that purpose.
OP, among the things you should care for is to avoid plagiarism like leprosy. Always reference sources of articles and stories you lift. Again, if you're here to earn; make sure to go about it in a legit manner. Earning on the forum is welcomed. In fact, it remains the driving force for traffic here. While at it, make sure to read and research and then contribute meaningfully to the community.
