VOCAL MEDIA

Vocal defines itself as a platform for supporting, discovering, and rewarding creators. On Vocal, creatives of all types come together to share their experiences in various different areas. When you visit this website, you will immediately see its collection of communities, which allow you to explore written content produced by people in different industries.

Many writers are looking for a good place to find their audience. Vocal brings together talented creators in a joint space and makes them easy to locate by niche. This means that you can post the kind of content that you want to write and find an audience for it. It is a great space to share your work and does offer the chance for you to make money. If you are interested in consistently producing content for a specific audience, Vocal will probably be a great fit for you. Though you might not make full-time money, many creatives have found success on this website.

Since it is a free site, there is no harm in trying it out and giving Vocal a chance to work for you. Before you get started, take some time to explore the existing communities and see what kind of content is proving to be successful. It can help you to get inspired so that you are ready to make the most out of your page and start making money!

Vocal Media is touted as a platform for users seeking an alternative to Medium or to their own self-hosted website (ie. WordPress, Squarespace, Wix). It allows for a wide array of topics, divided into topics like Beat, Blush, Lifehack, Journal, etc. Both fiction and nonfiction content are allowed on Vocal Media.

The site and all of its stories are free, but Vocal Media also offers a $10 monthly membership to be part of Vocal+. The main benefits of joining the membership is that it grants you access to all the contests on the site (deemed “Challenges”), and it increases the rate at which you make money when users view your content.

Writers make money on the platform through the views gained from readers ($3.80 per 1000 views; Vocal+ members get $6.00 per 1000 views). They can also receive additional monetary compensation from readers in the form of tips, and cash bonuses from the staff at Vocal Media.
