Everything You Need to Know About Making Money on Vocal.media

As you clicked this post, you already might be familiar with Vocal.media. 

If you don't, let me briefly introduce this. Vocal.media is a writing platform like Medium, and writers make money for writing on it. 

However, there is a lot more that you need to understand to perform better. I believe to succeed in any industry or platform, you must go in-depth and understand how it works. 

Many writers jump to the site without knowing the depth and soon become frustrated and quit it. 

Opportunities are real; they work, but to what extent? It depends on various factors. 

Contribution factors to Vocal.media success

Knowing the factors is important because when you are aware of them, you can better deal with them. 

#1. Consistency

Consistency is the key not only for Vocal.media but for every domain or platform you work in. 

#2. Patience

Impatience leads you nowhere. Things take time. Be patient to enjoy the fruit you sow a seed for. 

#3. Quality

Quality always wins. With quality, you can build a long-term reader-writer relationship, and this is crucial for long-term success. 

#4. SEO

I believe SEO is the crux of the internet, but when it comes to Vocal.media, it becomes more important because you need to rank your article on Google to drive traffic to get more views and thus earnings. 

#5. Promotion

To boost the success of Vocal.media, you need to promote your content. No, it's not a paid promotion. By promoting, I mean sharing your content on Pinterest, Quora, Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms. 

How does earning work on Vocal.media? 

Yes, I know this is your favourite part. Mine too! So, it's important to understand how earning works on Vocal.media. I know the core of it because I explored and used the platform enough. 

There are four main earning criteria for Vocal.media. 

#1. Vocal.media earnings from views or reads

The major earning system is making money from getting views and reads. Unlike Medium, these views or reads do not need to be from paid members. It could be from around the internet: internal or external. 

Internal: Views from Vocal.media itself. 

External: From outer sources like Google and other search engines. 

As per Vocal.media rule you earn:

• $3 per 1000 reads.
• $6 per 1000 reads as a Vocal+ member.

#2. Vocal.media bonuses and perks

This has been one of my favourite features of Vocal.media because I enjoyed it via my different blogs. 

Before it was offering bonuses as follows:

• $5 for 5 stories 
• $10 for 10 stories
• $15 for 15 likes
• $50 for 50 stories 
• $5 for viral stories

But I recently learned about the updated policy of Vocal.media. Now, it rewards bonuses on a weekly basis. The exact criteria are not told, but the best creators of the week win a bonus for their performance. 

#3. Vocal.media contests and challenges

I really appreciate Vocal.media's effort to support writers continuously. There are contests and challenges always open. 

Creators participate in contests and win prizes. Prices are usually divided into three parts. First, second, or third. The price amount is pretty good.

#4. Vocal.media tipping and pledges

This option is just to boost your earnings but does not work as an exact earning system. It is just like the Medium tipping option. As a Vocal+ member, you can activate this option to allow your readers to directly support you. 

Payment method

Vocal.media only supports Strip to withdraw payment. 

You can withdraw your payouts when you reach $35 as a simple Vocal.media user. 

Or $20 would be the withdrawal limit if you are a Vocal+ member. 

Bottom line 

Vocal.media can be a decent source of income for writers and bloggers but I would like to mention that it is not an overnight success story. 

As I mentioned before, you need to get enough views on Vocal.media stories to generate enough income. For that you need to be patient as Vocal.media articles take time to rank.
