You also get an extra $5 if your story becomes a Top Story. Top Stories get featured on the home page, the main page of the community they’re posted to, and the Top Stories page. When you submit a story, you have the chance of being chosen for a Top Story. One of my Top Stories, based on a blog post from The Writer’s Scrap Bin Most people will also probably prefer to use the free Vocal membership rather than Vocal+ since Vocal+ is $9.99/month. The process for withdrawing can be a pain with how long it takes, but if it means that the transaction is secure, I don’t see too much to complain about. It’s just a matter of perseverance, constantly improving on your writing, and continuing to enter all the challenges that you can. I also have yet to win any of the challenges, but a lot of people enter those. As a result, I haven’t raised too much money yet. Like with any other publishing outlet, it can be hard to get readers when you’re getting started. So far, Vocal has been a lukewarm experience for me. Better yet, you can read other creators’ stories on virtually any subject you want. As you can see, Vocal lets writers explore virtually all subjects to their hearts’ content. Right now, the communities include 01 (technology), Beat (music), Blush (beauty), Cleats (soccer), Confessions (for all confessions from romantic fails to childhood pranks and beyond), Criminal (true crime), Earth (pretty self-explanatory), Education (again, self-explanatory), Families, Feast (food), Fiction, Filthy (for the sexually curious), Futurism, FYI (obscure knowledge and facts), Gamers, Geeks (fanboys, movie franchises, and more), Horror, Humans (relationships), Interview, Journal (work), Lifehack (DIY), Longevity (healthy living), Marriage, Motivation, Petlife, Photography, Poets, Potent (marijuana lifestyle and cannabis culture), Pride (LGBTQIA+), Proof (alcohol), Psyche (mental health), Serve (soldiers, veterans), Styled (fashion), Chain (cryptocurrency), Swamp (politics), Trader (investing), Unbalanced (sports and the culture around them), Viva (being a woman), Wander (travel), and Wheel (cars). You can post pieces in any number of subjects. Vocal only uses Stripe, but that’s a minor obstacle to overcome if you don’t already have an account. Once your balance is $35, or $20 for Vocal+ creators, you can withdraw. I’ve seen at least one challenge with a $10,000 first-place prize. If you’re a Vocal+ member, you also get the chance to enter challenges with cash prizes. You then receive $3.80 for every 1,000 reads. ![]() After you create an account, you create a post (similar to a blog post), publish it (with Vocal’s approval), and wait for people to read it. On Vocal, you can share your writing and get paid for it. I want to share with you what I’ve discovered so far. I’ve also started using another tool to get my writing out there: Vocal. I’ve mostly been sticking to my freelance work–editing, beta reading, and writing–this whole time. It’s been quite a busy year and a half for me–longer, actually.
