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.

An Ode to Grandpa Lee

An old-time pioneer amid modern vanity and "progress." The man stood tall in the wind with the sun beating down on his flat-brim cowboy hat. He was a working man, focused on his pioneer family in the western country they called home. Building and designing structures high and wide, the man skipped across wooden beams high in the air, under shadows cast only by moving clouds; wide open spaces watched the scene as death-defying feats were carried out in relative obscurity, as just another day of work. The man was an old-timer with relatively few years to boast, a before his time pioneer with an adventurous and loving wife plotting business in sagebrush lands far beyond the hyped city life bustling with seemingly meaningless activities. His skin was as leather, scorched in the sun and beaten with high winds containing drifting sand mixed with alkaline dirt. The dry mountain air in the high desert cleansed his heart with comfortable respite from the high temps and harsh weather e...

Plugging Along

Press enter or click to view image in full size The simple things are profound. Hello friends, hope this finds you well and in good health. I remember seeing this comic strip where an older man with a gut and grey hair saw a “hiring” sign at a fast food restaurant and thought it was a good opportunity. The theme of the strip was that he was a plugger — plugging along. That must have been about 20 years ago it seems, but it stuck with me in my journey of plugging along myself. So much was said in that little one picture comic strip. Our journey down here on God’s earth is full of plugging along moments; where our attitude and perspective really make the difference in the type of life we live. Not everyone gets the glory or the recognition. Most of us just work in the shadows plugging along with our lives, trying to do the right thing, trying to keep our heads afloat in the waters of hustle and bustle. I think what I liked about that comic strip was the humility of the cartoon character....
