The very first thing you have to do is to create an account on Vocal Media, connect your Stripe account and start writing stories. Your stories will be added to a community based on the niche of your story. There are over 35 communities on Vocal that you can submit a story to.

This is how you can make money on Vocal Media.

Benefits of Vocal+ Membership:

Following are some of the benefits of Vocal+ membership for writers;

First, let me tell a story. When I joined Vocal, I have no intention to go for a Vocal+ membership, later on, I did a calculation and find out that I will be a fool if I didn’t go for a Vocal+ subscription. I will share the calculations in detail but let's discuss some of the benefits of being the Vocal+ subscription.

You can make $6/1000 reads compared to $3.8/1,000 reads of a non-vocal+ creator.

You will be charged 2% in Tips transaction if you are a Vocal+ member compared to the 6% of the non-vocal+ creator.

As a Vocal+ creator, you can enter into Vocal challenges. Now, some of the challenges are available to everyone but still, the majority of Vocal challenges are just for Vocal+ subscribers.

Now, let's do some calculation of why Vocal+ is beneficial for you as a content creator.

Let's say, there are two writers, writer A and writer B. Writer A is a Vocal+ member while writer B isn’t. Both of the writers received 10,000 reads in a month. Writer A being a Vocal+ member made over $60 while writer A made over $38. The net income of writer A is $50 which is $12 more than writer A. In technical terms, B is losing money because of his/her poor business decision.

Is Vocal Media is a Legit website where you could make money writing?

I made a video explaining how you could make money writing on Vocal Media and one comment on that video was; ‘I published over 5 stories on Vocal and made few cents, the platform is a scam’ this type of comment is what we shouldn’t hear. We should first experience any platform before we spread false news.

I am a writer on Vocal Media and writing for over 8 months. In these 8 months, I have withdrawn over $1100 to my bank account. I wasn’t writing this article if Vocal Media was a scam.

Writing online is a powerful way to make money. Vocal Media is a free platform to write.

Some of the things I have learned while writing on Vocal Media:

You have to write every single day. My first story was published 8 months ago but it has been 5 months that I am published very seriously on Vocal. You have to write every single day if you want to be ahead in your game.

Vocal Media unlike other sites doesn’t have a paywall system. The subscription system is based on giving certain privileges’ to writers.

You can use multiple ways to make money on Vocal Media. You can make money through getting reads, submitting stories to Vocal challenges, and getting tips & bonuses from readers and Vocal staff.

The communities that you published story is also very important in this regard. Some Vocal communities have good value in terms of SEO than others.

Promote and market your stories on multiple platforms to build a system to generate a passive income through writing.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
