I am Quitting Vocal Media Challenges

Challenges Are Starting to Feel Unnecessary to Me

Vocal Media is a great platform for both content writing and YouTube video distribution, and it's a good blogging company. I think it's working well for a media company. Since becoming a Vocal+ member, I've occasionally participated in contests, but it looks like I won't be participating in them anymore.

It looks like I'll be focusing more on YouTube videos than Vocal Media. In my most recent contests, I tried to tell a metaphorical story about real life, and I'm now withdrawing from them.

People are interested in YouTube and other platforms.

It's really good to know when to leave. Because I've seen that only prose poems and stories are chosen in competitions. That's why I'm not participating anymore. This is my opinion. People who are interested can still participate in competitions, but I believe my art is no longer for sale.

As of September, it looks like I'll be focusing solely on horror stories, journalism, and true crime. I think the "challenges" for writers at Vocal Media are starting to come for the novice writers.

This is my personal opinion, please do not take it personally, that is why I am leaving but I will continue to stay in Vocal Media.Because I love the community here(I have been writing for almost 5 years, and I produce beautiful and honest content.)

I don't even look at the "challenge" page anymore.I'm just trying to write here by turning the lessons I've learned from my own life and some of the content I've observed into poetry. I can even say that I've expanded my poetry book and I'm submitting it to a publishing house in September. I can say that it will be a good investment and I hope it sells.

Since I became a Christian, I've heard from my new circle that I'll be a great teacher. Even in my own country, people are all about advertising and marketing.

That's why I left social media and now that I'm back in the real world, I feel like myself again. I wish I'd never encountered the internet. My phone has tools for tracking the stock market and banking apps, nothing else.

Even most news sites do nothing but share tabloid stuff and parody news. My only dream as a writer is to be a "New York" bestseller. I am unable to travel to America.

I'm going to the UK instead of the US because my rivals are there based on fear.

Also, I'm not sure why, but after a certain backdrop, the "challenge" only comes to persons with strong self-confidence. I'm so bored of competing. I'm only thinking of sharing my story with someone while remaining silent.

People tell you to never give up, but occasionally you have to give up and make money smartly.

If you want to realize your dreams, you have to act quietly. You also have to be in the right place at the right time.If you wish for your artwork to generate income, ensure that it provides a benefit to others. That's my understanding. In the digital world, no one trusts each other; there is only business.

In spite of the fact that social media platforms demand users to verify their identities, content producers are continually stealing the work of others in order to generate revenue.

Honestly, I don't care about winning any prizes at this moment. My accomplishments in my line of work are more than sufficient for me to consider a success.

I hope you now understand why I'm withdrawing from competitions and I'll just write my content and step aside.

    Good luck with this. I have written about what to do when you have not made it with a Challenge, and you have hit on a lot of uncomfortable truths here.
