Same Articles Published on NewsBreak vs. Medium 2024

These sites are very different, yet how do they compare stat-wise with the same articles?

I discovered how to publish my non-news articles on NewsBreak; I just put Opinion in front of the title. Now I can put the same articles I write on Medium on NB and see how they compare.

NB pays an estimated $4.50 per thousand views on average.

I’ve published 15 articles on both sites since this change. NewsBreak articles have been published in the last 36 days.

Let’s look at 7 examples:

Summary

There are 7 of the 15 articles. All except for the last example are doing much better on NewsBreak than Medium with views. They are making much more money on NB as well.

The article with the most M views in the examples made only .19 cents on M.

The best-performing article of the 15 is: “Where Did God Come From?”

So far it has 42k views on NB. Not bad!

For context, I’ve been a writer at M longer than on NB by about a year and 3 months, from when I started writing more seriously on M. I started writing for NB in Dec. 2022.

I have 3,340 followers on NB and 903 on M.

Also, I always share the M article on social media, not NB.

Although NB gets my articles many more views and makes much more money, I still appreciate M and the views and money I get there.

I know there is potential with M and it is probably going to be around longer than NB, as it has proven its long-term stability.

Ultimately, it would be nice to get similar views on M as NB, regardless, without members reading and interacting I wouldn’t make anything. With that said, I can get 18 views and make $3 from an article on M, while at NB it would make pennies.

Still, interesting to see how they compare.

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...

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...
