My “shocking” Vocal.Media Earnings Revealed (sarcasm alert)

I’ve been writing on Medium for a couple of months now, and I recently read about Vocal.media in someone’s article.

What is vocal.media?

Vocal is a content creation and monetization platform, just like Medium, that allows any type of writers to share their stories, articles, and other forms of content with an audience.

It’s designed to help content creators reach new readers, build their personal brand, and earn money from their work.

What’s the difference with Medium?

There are a few ones, but in short we can say that Vocal.media is a more niche platform that primarily focuses on creative writing, personal narratives, and opinion pieces.

In contrast, Medium.com has a broader focus and covers a wide range of topics, including business, technology, and politics.

Another HUGE difference is the payment model.

Vocal.media offers a revenue-sharing model for writers, where they receive a portion of the revenue generated from their articles’ views and engagement.

In contrast, Medium.com has a subscription-based model, where readers pay a monthly fee to access content. Writers on Medium.com can receive payment through its Partner Program, which pays writers based on engagement and readership.

Apart from this, there are a few other differences, like the editor, formatting and discoverability, but those are a bit less relevant to this article.

So WHY am I publishing here?

A few reasons:

1. Expand my reach
2. Repurpose my content
3. Monetize
4. Curiosity

Those are good enough reasons to try something I suppose, no?
