A NewsBreak Milestone

Writing there has become a reliable money maker

I’ve been part of the NewsBreak Contributor Program since February. Getting into it is pretty straightforward. Write a minimum of 10 articles and get 100 followers. Then, you apply. For me, it took 10 days after my application to get accepted.

Once accepted, you earn money from all reads on your articles. NewsBreak (via their app) does a great job of putting your content in front of readers.

I’ve written before about how my NewsBreak earnings are far outpacing what I earn here at Medium.

My NewsBreak Earnings in June were 16x My Medium Earnings

Now, I’ve crossed another milestone. I have more than 2000 followers there as of this morning.

I’ve read stories of other writers who quickly hit the 5000 or even 10,000 follower mark.

For me, it has taken some time to get to 2000.

That said, I’m happy for the journey. I write about two primary topics on NewsBreak: Consumer finance and Tennessee politics.
