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.

Thrown in the Trash by NewsBreak

Out with the old, in with the robots. My time writing for NewsBreak is now over. The upstart news app used writers like me to get their bandwagon going, and now it has discarded us after becoming respectable in the realm of news. I can’t blame them when it comes to me, as I’ve been writing opinion pieces exclusively for the last year. I started out writing local news articles about Oregon, but changed my strategy because of time constraints. I would take news articles from Oregon and rewrite them basically; not with AI, just with my noggin. Some did well, others were stalled by their algorithm. I could never tell if an article would do well or not. All in all, I made more money with NB than any other writing effort online besides copywriting. This brings me a lot of satisfaction with my time there, but sadly, it has come to an end. Recently, they sent me an email explaining they are going to make all the contributors reapply to be a contributor, as their strategy has changed; something...

Is Your Writing System Holding You Back from Being Productive?

I think mine is. When I first started writing online back in 2013, I wrote for only one website called Allvoices — a contributor news site. How simple my online writing system was then compared to what it has turned into over the last 12 years. Now, I have too many sites to syndicate on, too many social media sites to share to, and overall just too large of a writing system to be productive. Crazy part is I’ve shaved it down to what it is now; it was larger and even bulkier before. One thing I won’t do is give up on trying to build a system that enhances instead of hinders my online writing efforts; I’m not there yet as it stands. I wonder how much more I would write if I didn’t have to spend an hour syndicating and sharing each article? If I could just write an article and maybe spend 5 minutes on sharing and syndicating it? As it is now, I have five platforms to syndicate with and ten social sites to share on. My system hinders my writing and keeps me from wanting to write because of...

The Most Discriminated People Are Not Who You Think

The physically unattractive, socially awkward, and poor are the most discriminated people. In America, social engineers have brainwashed us to believe minorities and women are the most discriminated people in our country and the world, yet is this really true? Using common sense, we can see this isn’t true in modern America, and even in the past. We can see clearly the most discriminated people in our country and the world are those who are physically unattractive, socially awkward, and poor. Physical Unattractiveness Physical unattractiveness is probably the top discrimination factor in the world. A person born like this will find they are not chosen for many things because of this unfortunate factor. They might be outgoing and friendly, which will help mitigate this problem, but they will invariably experience a completely different reality than a physically attractive person. We’re talking about not being chosen for jobs and friendships, and how they are treated in daily life by peo...

Future Freedom = Being Without Online Technology

Online technology was created to control humanity. One thing we can all agree on is that online/smart technology will only increase and become more integrated into our lives in the future, even at an exponential rate, as technological advancement reaches singularity. Therefore, we can conclude with deductive reasoning that our individual freedom will only be achieved without said technology. If this technology, manifested with AI automation, is going to be used to control us in every aspect of our lives, then freedom will not exist. Freedom is not just doing everything the controllers tell you to do or get punished, it is being free to do what you want do, under the natural law of treating others as you would want to be treated (do no harm physically to others, don’t steal or damage property/possessions of others, etc.). The near future is going to be defined by how technology is used to control humanity; it will be done under the guise of something other than control, but that is the ...
