Introducing Pinned Stories and Story Filtering
A new way to organize your stories and your profile page on Vocal.
This week, we’ve made a few more changes to the Vocal network. As we announced in our last update, these next few updates will work together to allow you to enhance your Vocal presence and organize your profile exactly as you see fit.
At Vocal, we are constantly developing better ways to showcase your content and provide meaningful assets to aid your creative processes. Everyday we are committed to making Vocal the best place to create, publish, and share content across all media and genres. Today, we are releasing our latest update, which allows creators to more deeply customize their Vocal profile pages. You are creators, and so are we, so we know that presentation and design is key. How your profile looks reflects how you think and feel as a writer, an artist, a poet, a creator. Perhaps you have a favorite story, one that you wish everyone could read, but it’s buried on page 17 of your profile. Now there’s a solution. 📍
With this latest update, you can pin stories to the top of your profile. This will show everyone at a glance what your best work is, or what you want them to read first. To pin a story, navigate to any story on your profile and click the pin icon found in the bottom right corner. This will push that story to the top of your profile page where it will live front and center for everyone to read and enjoy. You can pin up to three stories in any order you'd like.
Alongside pinned stories, we're also releasing a filter to help sort and view all the stories you’ve written. That’s right, no more scrolling. The story filter will allow readers to see every story you’ve written sorted by community, publish date, and length, as well as alphabetically. To use the filter, you can select a particular community in the tool bar to see only stories published in that community, or you can use the dropdown to organize all the stories by their total word count or when they were published.
We’ve heard for some time that the community wants Vocal to help creators present their work in the best and most organized way possible. Our development team is always working to find these solutions for you. In the coming months, here’s what else you can expect from us:
📍More fun updates to your Vocal profile
📍More communication on-platform
📍Even better content creation tools
📍More resources to assist you in your creative processes
We’re so excited about all of these updates. We know they’re going to continue making your Vocal experience better and better, and allow you to make Vocal your home base for all creative endeavors. We hope you’re excited too. Now, go pin some stories!

My Island Dream
I sit in the beach lounge chair, enjoying the sparkling, crystal blue water of the ocean in front of me. Though the waves were inviting me to dive into them, I opted to sit in the chair. Sunbathing suited me better than swimming in the ocean. The waves gently caress the shores; the breeze whispering in my ears.

The concept of "free money" is often used to describe ways to make money without having to work for it. While there are some legitimate ways to earn money without working, such as through inheritances or gifts, there are also many scams that promise free money but ultimately just end up taking your money. Here are some legitimate ways to earn money without working: * **Investments:** Investing in stocks, bonds, or real estate can generate income over time. However, it's important to do your research and understand the risks involved before investing. * **Passive income:** Passive income is income that you earn without having to actively work for it. This can include things like rental income, royalties, and dividends. * **Side hustles:** Starting a side hustle can be a great way to earn extra money in your spare time. There are many different side hustles you can start, such as freelance writing, driving for a ride-sharing service, or selling handmade crafts. * **Government benefits:** There are a number of government benefits available to people who meet certain eligibility requirements. These benefits can include things like Social Security, Medicare, and food stamps. Here are some scams that promise free money but are ultimately just out to take your money: * **Advance-fee scams:** These scams ask you to pay a fee in advance in order to receive a larger sum of money. However, the larger sum of money never materializes and you are left out of pocket. * **Pyramid schemes:** These scams involve recruiting new members into the scheme and paying them a commission for each new member they recruit. However, the only way to make money in a pyramid scheme is to keep recruiting new members, and the scheme eventually collapses. * **Sweepstakes and lotteries:** While there is a chance that you could win money in a sweepstakes or lottery, the odds of winning are very slim. Most people who enter sweepstakes and lotteries end up losing money. It's important to be skeptical of any offer that promises you free money. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always do your research before responding to any offer that promises you free money.
