I'm Not a Professional Writer — But Here's How I'm Still Earning on Vocal Media

You don't need a degree or perfect grammar to get paid for your words — you just need to start.

By Mr Haris KhanPublished 7 months ago 3 min read

💬 Introduction:

Let me start with a truth most people won’t say out loud:

I am not a professional writer.

I don’t have a degree in English. I’ve never taken a writing course. In fact, there was a time I thought my writing wasn’t “good enough” for anyone to read, let alone pay for.

And yet — here I am — earning real money from my stories and experiences on Vocal Media.

So if you're thinking, “I'm not a great writer. Can I still do this?” — the answer is:

Yes, you absolutely can.

This article is for people like you and me — everyday people who have something to say, even if we don’t say it perfectly.

❌ Why Most Beginners Never Start

Before I began publishing on Vocal, I spent months just watching. I would read other people’s articles and think:

“They write better than me”

“I don’t know what to write about”

“No one would care about my story”

This mindset stops thousands of potential writers from ever starting.

The truth is: you don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be real.

✅ Why I Chose Vocal Media

I tried many online money-making methods before this — YouTube, affiliate marketing, even blogging. But they all had one problem: they required time, tools, followers, or technical skills I didn’t have.

Then I found Vocal Media.

It felt different. Here’s why I chose it:

No followers needed to earn

No ads or complicated setup

Beginner-friendly — just write and publish

You get paid per read

You can write about your own experiences, passions, or opinions

It’s the first platform that made me feel like my words had value, even if I wasn’t a professional.

✍️ How I Write as a Beginner (And You Can Too)

You might be wondering, “Okay, but how do I actually write something worth reading?”

Here’s my simple writing process — no special tricks, just consistency:

1. Pick a Real Topic from Your Life

I don’t overthink it. I ask myself:

What lesson did I learn this week?

What mistake did I make that someone else could learn from?

What motivates me right now?

Examples of my topics:

“How I Failed to Make Money Online (Until I Found Vocal)”

“Why I Stopped Chasing Get-Rich-Quick Schemes”

“My First $5 from Writing — and Why It Felt Like $500”

2. Write Like You Talk

I don’t try to sound “fancy” or use big words. I write how I speak — friendly, simple, honest. That way, my writing feels natural.

3. Use Free Tools

I use:

Grammarly for spelling and grammar

ChatGPT for outline help or ideas

Google Docs to write and edit

Unsplash for free images

4. Keep It Between 600–800 Words

That’s the sweet spot for Vocal articles. Enough to give value, but not too long to lose readers.

💰 My Results So Far

I’ll be honest: I’m not rich. I haven’t made $1,000 (yet).

But here’s what I have done:

Published 6+ articles in 3 weeks

Earned my first few dollars

One of my stories crossed 500+ reads

And most importantly: I proved to myself I could do this

My next goal is simple: earn my first $35 withdrawal — and I’m getting closer every week.

📢 Tips for Beginners Like Me

If you want to start writing and earning on Vocal Media, here are my honest tips:

✅ Start Today — Not When You're "Ready"

You’ll never feel ready. You become a better writer by writing. Not waiting.

✅ Don’t Compare Your Start to Someone Else’s Middle

Some writers have years of experience. Don’t let that stop you. Focus on your own voice.

✅ Stay Consistent

If you write 2–3 articles a week, you will improve. You will grow. And you’ll earn.

✅ Share Your Work

Don’t keep your articles hidden. Share on:

Facebook Groups

Reddit communities

WhatsApp or Telegram groups

Pinterest (great for article covers)

Even 100 extra views can earn you a few dollars — and build momentum.

🌟 Final Thoughts: You're More Ready Than You Think

I’m not a writing expert.

I’m not a native English speaker.

I don’t have a huge social media following.

But I’m still writing. I’m still earning. And most importantly — I’m still going.

So if you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could do that” — here’s your sign:

You can. Start with your story. Write what’s real.

Someone out there needs to read it.
