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:
(published 4 days ago on M and NB)
Medium: 2
NewsBreak: 199
(published 6 days ago on M and NB)
Medium: 8
NewsBreak: 886
(published 11 days ago on M and NB)
Medium: 8
NewsBreak: 111
(published 22 days ago on M and NB)
Medium: 13
NewsBreak: 98
(published 2.5 months ago on M and 20 days ago on NB)
Medium: 18
NewsBreak: 42,000
(published 1 year 2 months ago on M and 16 days ago on NB)
Medium: 97
NewsBreak: 344
(published 1 year ago on Medium, 1 week ago on NB)
Medium: 346
NewsBreak: 18
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.
