My Top-Earning NewsBreak Story in January was about Hoarding
What happens when a state government holds money

Ok, let’s back up. This story is about NewsBreak.
It’s a platform I’ve written about before.
It is, as the name implies, a site that focuses on news stories. NewsBreak says it wants local news and lots of it. Stories can be as short as 100 words.
It has also been a reliable source of writing income for me over the past year. Often far surpassing my Medium numbers in terms of earnings.
At the end of each month, I take a look at my top earning stories. This helps me decide what to write about. Using the stats like this gives me a chance to focus my writing (and time) on the stories that people will read (and share). That boosts earnings.
