My NewsBreak Earnings Were 16x My Medium Earnings — Again!
August on NewsBreak was a lot like June
I’ve been a part of the NewsBreak Contributor Program since February. I’ve found the site to be a reliable source of part-time writing income. I’ve also found that the payouts are substantially higher (for me) than what I earn here at Medium.
In June, I had a great NewsBreak month — and earned 16x what I earned on Medium over the same time period. That month, I had one story that earned $150 and some other stories with some pretty decent earnings.
In August, I had another story that was a high (for me) earner — closing in on $200. I had other stories with decent earnings — high double digits — and as a result, my September 15th payout will be a decent one.
By contrast, my Medium earnings have remained fairly constant. In fact, last month, I actually saw my highest-earning stories were ones about policy issues and not about writing — a first!
