Vocal Media is a platform where anyone could make an account and connect their Stripe account and start publishing stories and making money whenever someone reads your content. The idea is very simple. You write more articles, the article will ever be shared on social media or you getting ranked on search engines, all you need is more human readers on articles published on Vocal and you will be fine. Moreover, you will make more money.

Vocal pays creators based on the reads. So the more reads you get the more money you will make.

To make a $500 a month writing on Vocal, you just need a total of 90K views which is 3K views a day. I think anyone could reach to this figure by writing continuously.f

How can you make money on Vocal Media?

Vocal Media works based on a straightforward methodology. When you sign-up for a Vocal Media account, you have to connect your Stripe and start publishing articles on Vocal Media. Through this method, you could start making money writing on Vocal Media.

You could make money through Vocal Media in five different ways;

1. Getting more reads: Getting more reads means that you will make more money on Vocal. One thing of thing to note down here is that a "View" doesn't equal a "Read" you may have more views but less number of reads as a read is counted only if the reader reaches the end of the article. For 1,000 reads, Vocal pays $3.8 for the normal creator and $6 for a creator who has a Vocal+ subscription. If you are serious about writing on Vocal, then a Vocal+ subscription is your best bet.

2. Through Tips: I have received three tips till now, making it a total of $22. If you are just writing stories for the Vocal community, then you could actually make over $100 through tips. Tipping is a great monetization tool introduced by Vocal and I think it is one of the unique ways to let your fans support you

3. Through Challenges: I have interviewed a top-earner on Vocal, and according to him; "Vocal Challenges is the best way to make money on Vocal" A challenge is about anything you have to write about filling those constraints, and if your article is well-research, it might be selected as a winner in top-3 positions, and you will be paid accordingly. Vocal challenges are one of the best ways to make more money in less time.

4. Through adding affiliate links: You can add affiliate links in your Vocal articles and if someone bought anything through that links, you would be getting paid for that. It is a very lucrative business if you know someone who has a course, and you make him/her pay you 50% of the profit if you generate any lead for them. I know people who have made over $2K just because of doing this.

5. Bonuses, Tips & Pledges: Vocal media rewards its active and loyal writers with bonuses. Here is how much you can make guaranteed on Vocal.

• $5 — every time your story is featured as a “Top Story.”
• $5 — if your story gets engagement on Vocal’s Twitter and Facebook pages.
• $10 — as soon as you publish ten stories on Vocal.
• $5 — as soon as you like 15 random stories on Vocal.
• $50 — as soon as you post 50 stories on Vocal.

Tips

Tipping is an accepted and widely used practice on Vocal.

Readers can tip their favorite content creators for their stories. You cannot predict when it happens and how much money you’ll get as tips. All you can do is keep creating engaging, emotional, and helpful stories.

Furthermore, Vocal encourages content creators to promote tipping within their stories. Like me, you can write a few additional lines and invite your readers to tip your stories.

Besides, Vocal has a sticky footer, reminding readers to subscribe and tip your stories.

Pledges

As a content creator, you can ask your fans to support your effort through pledges. It is a more stable and recurring income source on Vocal than bonuses, tips, and payment for views.

If your readers decide to support you, you’ll be getting a recurring $2.30 fee directly to your Stripe account monthly as long as they keep paying you.

Pledges are available for Vocal+ members only! It implies you’ll have to pay $10 monthly to benefit from this feature. You can learn more about how pledges work here.

As a writer, I don’t believe it’s possible to make living writing with pledges. As for me, it’s an additional bonus, which is nice to get, but you should not necessarily rely on it.

Why do you need to buy a Vocal+ subscription or membership?

Vocal+ membership, for me, is definitely worth it. I will share my experience as a Vocal+ subscriber, and if you find it good for yourself, you might opt-in for Vocal+ membership.

Some benefits of being a Vocal+ member are:

You make $6 per 1,000 reads compared to $3.8 as a non-Vocal+ creator.

You have to pay 2% of services charges on Tips compared to 6% on non-Vocal members.

You, being a Vocal+ creator, can take part in Vocal challenges.

Let's say two creators, each having 10K reads a month; one of the creators is in Vocal+ membership while the other is not in Vocal+, let's check out the earnings of both the creators.

The creator in the Vocal+ will make $60 with those 10K reads. But, you have to buy Vocal+ membership for $9.99 so that means net money of $50

The creator that isn't in the Vocal+ will make $38.

The winner is the one who is in the Vocal+ membership as with the same number of reads; he is getting $12 more. This difference increases as the Vocal creator gets more reads. Also, investing money into something will make you more productive and you may end up writing more articles on Vocal. Being in the Vocal+ membership shows that you are serious about writing on the platform. They will also introduce more features that will only be available to the Vocal+ creators.

If you follow some of the Vocal SEO tips which I have discussed, it generates a passive income stream that could generate over $200 a month as a side income just focusing on one factor. I think this new digital revolution is way interesting, and we should invest more money into this to build a stream of income.
