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
370 followers

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.

Opinion: Most communities in Oregon and the US are Republican, yet Democrats are in charge

2022 Oregon Governor Election Photo Assuming election results are valid in Oregon, which does take a lot of faith these days after the questions about the 2020 US Presidential election arose, Democrat Tina Kotek won the Governor’s race in 2022 by a slim margin over Republican Christine Drazan. The interesting aspect of this win is how many of Oregon’s 36 counties voted Republican vs. Democrat. Looking at the political map, almost the entire state is red with only a few small counties in the northwest having the blue color. Specifically, there were 7 counties that voted Democrat and 29 that voted Republican. The difference is the 7 counties voting blue are the most populous counties, also the counties with the most residents coming from other states – much like Tina Kotek herself, a transplant from Pennsylvania . Tina only won the campaign to be Oregon’s 39th Governor by 66,727 votes over Christine Drazan. Said in another way, the Democrats pulled off another close election with m...

Are Trump and Biden acting in a political soap opera?

The days of our lives are getting interesting. Realizing politics has tangible results for regular citizens, questioning the authenticity of politics is relevant considering the holistic factors involved. For instance, wondering if the political frontrunners for key positions in the U.S. government are playing a part, acting a character that has been scripted in correlation with their sincere personality underneath. The implications are far-reaching if this is the case, yet isn’t the question relevant in our deep fake technological world? Considering that the divide between fantasy and reality has been clouded with deception and virtual reality, doesn’t it seem plausible in some measure to think that the U.S. presidential race is scripted to control the population according to a certain agenda? Is it naive to think the powers to be would allow the citizens to direct the government when they could get away with not doing so? Is it cynical to think otherwise or practical common sense? Es...

Hive Mind Control

It tells you what to think about and believe. Many people are frustrated and angry at all the injustices we see today in the world, and rightly so, yet who are we angry with? The enemy seems to be elusive, amorphous, and hidden behind patsy boogie men, the powers to be put in front of us to hate. Who is the enemy? For Christians, we believe in a supernatural enemy, yet who are the workers of iniquity that the Bible speaks about, who does the work for this supernatural enemy? Ultimately, these are deceiving times, which means deception is being used to control our minds and hearts. Yet, how is this being done? It makes sense that online technology is the main tool being used to deceive the masses. Online technology is being used to form a “Hive Mind”, which is being used to control the masses. The hive mind is run by big data analytics, algorithms, and what they now call AI. It has always been AI, yet the hive mind wants us to think this is something new. The internet has always been AI...
