Writing Platforms Which I Have Tried

Writing was never a lucrative job before. Writers would spend days, writing on their desks, their butts stuck up to their chairs and their eyes on the blank sheet of paper.

Working hard in the writing world never promised money as it does now. Now, without waiting more, I shall list down all those platforms which I have tried and tested. It's not a quick money scheme but surely you'll be earning something better than nothing.

1) Vocal.Media - I have been late on this platform. Very late. Someone on Medium Suggested this. I have reluctant at first but seeing the success other people got, we can hardly miss it. We all know that now writers don't have to wait to complete their books and then earn money from them. Writing ebooks, then editing, sending to agent, proofreading, preparing for launch, and then marketing. This was the only way every author knew back then. But is it still the same? Nope. We still are here, making our money without even writing books (although I will suggest doing so). We can share our knowledge through these platforms. On Vocal. media, you can write a long, good-quality written article. Make sure that the article is a minimum of 600 words long, is of good quality, and is within the platform limits.

2) Fiverr - If you are looking to earn based on the services then I cannot think of anything better than Fiverr. I have good memories of them although I don't work on them now any longer. But I would suggest it to anyone who wants to earn some part-time income from it. I usually used to work on weekends. Note that I wasn't making much money but $200 to 300 dollar is not to laugh at, right? I would say to choose the category you know the best. Trying to get into a field that you have no idea about will be time-consuming and will lead to the dissipation of your energy. So, stick to one category and be ready for success.

3) Blogging - This is the best thing that you can do. Try to make your profile on vocal media similar to that with the domain name. This will help to gain more traffic and help you to grow your audience and reach more people. Make your blog simple, elegant, and informative. Make sure that you give good value to your reader because free readers today will be your paid customer tomorrow. So make sure you give good value to them and they, in return will help you reach more audience. Give and take. For domain registration, there are many websites to do so. Make sure that you apply discount coupons that every company is running nowadays.

4) Social Media - We all know how important it is to be on social media nowadays. we cannot think of our lives without them. we need them at all costs. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Whatsapp, Pinterest. This was all we know. But now there is Vocal as well. We can consider it a longer form of Twitter. We can write articles for free and share our knowledge with the world. Like Vocal. media there are many other platforms as well where you can share your knowledge or any advice or experience, whatever the hell you want, you can share on these platforms. I don't think there is anyone on this planet who hasn't used any platforms yet.

I think I should end this here. I know there are many places where you can earn money but there is a limit to which a person or a writer can work. I often ask my readers to stick to a few and work from there. If your target is Vocal. media then stick to it. read others' blogs daily and write good quality content here.

Happy Writing!
