Newsbreak Vs Vocal Media: Which Writing Platform Is Best For Writers To Make Money?

Which writing platform is best for making money; Newsbreak or Vocal? A comparison between the two writing platforms. Vocal Media and Newsbreak are the two platforms that In my opinion are very similar when it comes to paying creators. Disclosure: I am not in the Newsbreak partner program, one of my friends is in the Newsbreak partner program and all the information about Newsbreak is directly coming from her.

New and improved writing platforms are coming to the Internet. When I was a student back in 2016, there was no platform neither I have the understanding that some platforms exist that could help me write and make money. The only platform I discover in 2016 is Quora. To date, I still write on Quora. Besides Quora, Medium is another platform that I write articles on.

Writing on Newsbreak and making money:

Newsbreak is a writing platform that could help you make money by writing articles. They pay based on two things; the first is the upfront fee which means if you write a US-Centered article, you get paid $60 per article as an upfront fee and the second way you make money on Newsbreak is through getting views on your article. They pay $4 per 1,000 views.

Newsbreak is a free platform with good domain authority. A good domain authority means there is a high chance that your articles could get ranked on Google fast and easily. We will discuss this in more detail when we compared Vocal Media with Newsbreak.

My friend is making over $1.5K a month from just writing on Newsbreak. She publishes books and some life experiences. As she publishes articles that aren't US-centered so Newsbreak pays her an upfront fee of $25 per article + for the views. As Newsbreak has a follow button through which you could increase your userbase and get more exposure but according to creators on Newsbreak, this feature is useless.

Writing on Vocal Media and making money:

I write on Vocal Media. I love to write on this platform. The platform has been evolved on many levels. I have been publishing on Vocal for the past 8 months and made over $1.5K from reads on this website. I am grateful that this platform exists. It gives everyone the opportunity to make money by getting reads, getting bonuses from the Vocal team and tips from your fans, and through Vocal challenges. Winning just two challenges a month could make you somewhere between $1000 to $3000 a month.

Vocal Media pay through reads. They pay $6/1,000 reads if you choose to be a Vocal+ creator. I run a Facebook group for people interested to know more about Vocal Media: Join here: Vocal Media creators hub. I love this platform and now planning to publish two or three articles a day on this platform.

Vocal Media is run by a public limited company named Creatd Inc which gives it credibility. The platform is evolving and I suspect that the platform might be a good choice of writing for many bloggers if they have a sustainable business model. Learn: How to make money writing on Vocal Media?

A comparison between Newsbreak Vs Vocal Media:

Following is some similarities and differences between Newsbreak and Vocal Media:

1. You can join Vocal Media right now. There is no checking-in of your application. It is like joining a social media platform. Connect your Stripe and you are ready to make money. While Newsbreak partner program is hard to join and many people including me are being rejected by Newsbreak. Newsbreak doesn't have a sustainable business model. If you look into the business model of a content publishing platform, look to Medium. They don't pay an upfront fee instead they pay for getting more audience attraction.
2. One similarity between Newsbreak and Vocal Media is that when you want to publish an article, it first goes through an editorial review. If your article follows the publishing guidelines, you are good to go and there is a high probability that your article will be accepted and published on a respective platform.
3. Another similarity between the two platforms is they pay for views. The difference is CPM. Vocal Media CPM is $6 for Vocal+ creators while Newsbreak CPM is $4.
4. The SEO difference. Search engine optimization is the most important thing for any blog or website. Vocal Media has a dot Media extension which isn't good for SEO or to get rank in Google. Newsbreak has a dot com extension which could be more suitable for getting ranking. But, this doesn't mean if you write a quality article on Vocal and do proper SEO and it wouldn't rank, my Vocal articles are getting 100000 reads a month. You just need to write more.
5. The Internal traffic. Vocal Media doesn't have any built-in audience, neither it gives a necessary exposure to writers. While Newsbreak has over 1.5 Billion unique page views a month and has over 35 Million users. This makes the site very powerful for writers and to make money writing.

We live in a world of opportunities:

Whether you are living in a third-world country or a posh city of a first-world country, you, me, and everyone have the same opportunities to make money and build our audience. The person who watches your videos or reading your articles doesn't know where you live or what are your conditions. If you delivering quality, you are a hero on the Internet. If you are creating content on the Internet every day and not consuming it, the Internet will reward you irrespective of the country you live in.

There are more writing and publishing content platforms than ever before. Writing online is a powerful way to communicate and that's why you should write on different platforms.

I hope this helps to understand the Vocal Media Vs Newsbreak comparison.
