Author's personal preferences for Vocal related Groups shown in the Short-cuts pane

Now presenting: an unbiassed anthology of Vocal related Facebook groups.

NOTE: an Addendum now precedes the "About the Author" end section which lists two related Vocal pages on Facebook, one of which is Vocal's.

The following, as of November 03-2021, is an unbiassed ranking of the many Facebook groups which pertain, in my opinion, to all Vocal creators. This is a statistical ranking of each group that Vocal creators may find very useful. Multiple rankings of each and every group is provided in descending order.

First ranking is by the date the group started, which is determined by checking the date its Admin(s) became associated with the group.

Secondly, each group is then ranked by its membership numbers.

Third, forth and fifth, a view is provided, respectively, to the number of Admins, Moderators and Group Experts associated with each group.

NOTE: If a ranking tie in any category occurs, then a previous or following category is used to break the tie.

Preceding the statistical tabulation below, a brief summary of each groups' About and Privacy fields are provided for the readers' information, with a hyperlink to each Vocal related Facebook group embedded in the group's Heading name.

NOTE: The following groups' summary text are sequenced strictly by the date of which the group was first started.

The Vocal Creators Lounge

About the group: "To all of the Vocal creators in the world: Come here to post your latest story to be shared and heard! I want this to be a positive community to encourage and support each other!

The Vocal Creators Support Group

About the group: "Vocal Media is a site for content creators. It provides a platform, exposure, and an income stream. That income will vary wildly based on readership of the content. 'Vocal Media has a robust Resources tab for those willing and able to put in the time and effort to use the platform fully. What it does not (currently) have is a method to provide feedback to creators on their content.

This group is open to Creators and the Public.

For Creators:

  1. Post links to your content. I ask that for every link you post you read at least two articles written by another member, give a short response to them, and (heart) their post on the Vocal Media site.
  2. Ask questions of other creators.
  3. Share your #TopStory , #LatestStory , #NeedsReads , #ChallengeStory, and #FeedbackRequested articles.
  4. Feel free to share an article someone else wrote, too. Together we can support and highlight the successes of others.
  5. Yes- you CAN share this group, let people know about it, and share posts from this page. You can even write about it. The more exposure Vocal Media gets the better it is for all Creators.
  6. Let me know what is or isn't working.

For Readers:

  1. All Creators need to be Readers! That's the way we Support each other. Readers do NOT need to be Creators; we hope you Favorite this site and stop by often!
  2. When you read content on Vocal Media take your time! Don't fake it and skim the article. An algorithm will know it is happening and it won't 'count' as a read! (Creators are paid a fraction of a cent for a read.... and every fraction helps)
  3. Please leave a heart when you read. Yes, you need to sign in to Vocal Media to do that. If you get emails that you don't want after doing that- please unsubscribe from the emails but stay with the site!
  4. Please SHARE WILDLY from this group! Again- reads=income for Creators.

Be Nice- Share- Comment- Support. "

Public group, i.e. anyone can see who's in the group and what they post; and, it is Visible, i.e. anyone can find this group.

Vocal Creators and Friends

Addendum - Facebook Vocal related Pages

It should be noted that the groups that pertain to, and started by, Vocal creators are in no way directly related to the main Vocal Facebook page, started by Vocal Media which has a present total of 71,643 people that follow the page and a total of 65,200 people that have liked the page.

In particular, Vocal does state on its Facebook page that "Vocal is one of the fastest-growing platforms for creators, writers, musicians, podcasters, videographers, and more. Over 1,000,000+ users and 9 million monthly visitors power our 39 genre-specific communities." Now, please note those numbers provided by Vocal are quoted directly from their Facebook page and are not equivalent to the present Vocal+ subscriber base which surpassed 10,000 only eleven months ago and then the 20,000 threshold approximately eight months ago.

Also, you should be made aware there is one independent creator page called "The Vocal Readers and Writers Group" and the name is a misnomer since this isn't a group per se but an individual's controlled page where they allow certain others to display their Vocal published works. At present there is a total of 146 people that follow the page and a total of 112 people that have liked the page.
