Approval Time for NewsBreak Monetization

Explaining how long it took for me and all the details involved.

I’m happy to report I’ve been approved for monetization at NewsBreak! I wanted to share the details with anyone waiting or thinking about becoming a contributor.

Here are some details:I wrote my first article on NewsBreak on December 24, 2022.

23 total articles

As you may know, contributors have to have 100 registered followers and 10 articles before they can apply for monetization.

I reached these markers after 15 articles on January 6, 2023.

After applying, NewsBreak told me it could take up to one month until they got back to me. I also heard from some Medium writers that it has sometimes taken up to 45 days.

I heard back from them yesterday January 1. That means it took roughly 25 days for them to get back to me, thankfully, to tell me I’m approved.

I really wasn’t sure if I would be approved, especially considering I slowed down writing there to about 2 per week. I wrote 7 articles in 25 days while I awaited the decision.

Now, I’ve been allowed into the contributor community and my dashboard has a few extra areas:

earnings
contributor referral
user referral

So far the earnings all say $0, yet the page tells me it can take up to 48 hours to see my estimated earnings.

I didn’t realize we can get paid for referring people to download the app too. Nice.

If you share your story from the contributor dashboard area, it has a special URL that works to credit you for every user referral.

I thought this information might help those who are waiting on their application to be approved.

If you are interested in writing at NewsBreak then become a contributor through my referral link and get started today.

You can also follow me if you are already there.

The Following Leaders on Medium

I remember one distinct moment during a career development course at a community college I attended 21 years ago when the professor asked us to stand up and do an exercise. She asked the class to separate themselves into two groups; those who thought of themselves as leaders on one side of the classroom and those who thought of themselves as followers on the other. This question came without warning at the beginning of the class, so we didn’t have time to think it through. The result was probably more sincere because of this suddenness. For some context, the class consisted of about 30 students, mostly young adults under 21 YOA; I was about 21 years old. An interesting thing happened. An Important Life Lesson in Social Perception The vast majority of the class went to the leader side of the class and only two of us went to the follower side. I was one of the followers along with another young man. How awkward; then the professor focused on us followers and ask...

10 Famous Movies Filmed in Oregon Part 2

It shouldn’t be too surprising that Oregon with its amazing scenery and diverse natural landscape has been used to make movies for the big screen. Still, with such a relatively small population it is somewhat amazing how many movies have been filmed here over the years. After naming 10 movies in part one , it became apparent there needed to be a part two, as these are just as famous, so here goes from oldest to newest. 1. Paint Your Wagon (1969): Having Clint Eastwood star in a musical isn’t likely, but he did star in this American Western musical in the late 60s and even did his own singing. The film also stars Lee Marvin and Jean Seberg and was directed by Joshua Logan. Most of the movie production happened near Baker City, Oregon, a small city in Eastern Oregon with around 10k residents and at 3451 ft. elevation. The plot centers around a mining camp in the California Golf Rush era in the mid-1800s. 2. Five Easy Pieces (1970): Starring Jack Nicholson, this early 70s drama was filme...
