Maximize Your Earnings on Newsbreak: Insights and Strategies
Written on
Chapter 1: Achieving a Milestone
This month, I reached an impressive milestone on Newsbreak, achieving five times my earnings from the previous month. It's a fantastic feeling to see such growth, especially when you consider that any increase in income makes previous low figures seem insignificant.
Previously, my articles had lost traction, and my motivation to write on the platform dwindled. Many of my older posts didn’t generate much engagement, and my new content barely reached 1,000 views. However, there was a turning point. By understanding the latest algorithm updates, I managed to go viral, leading to my current success.
Incorporating New Strategies
I’ve picked up several new strategies from observing fellow writers, and you can easily do the same.
In my first month on Newsbreak, I learned to set realistic expectations as a new writer. This video discusses how I navigated my initial experiences and what new writers can anticipate.
A Special Mention
I must highlight that Matt Lilywhite has returned to Newsbreak. His absence sparked conversations about why he left, and it’s clear that his return could be driven by more than just financial reasons. If a profile receives a strike, it can be removed after 90 days of adhering to guidelines, and it seems he was absent for roughly that time. Regardless, returning to the platform is a wise move, especially in today's financial landscape.
Tip 1: Exercise Caution
It's crucial to steer clear of strikes on Newsbreak. Utilizing disclaimers can protect your content. Many writers effectively use them to clarify their perspectives.
If you choose not to use disclaimers, focus solely on presenting factual information and always link to your sources. For those wanting to express opinions, clearly stating that it’s your viewpoint can help. If you don’t label it as an opinion, you might face editorial feedback for bias, which could hinder publication.
Consider using disclaimers, particularly when offering advice, especially if your profile doesn’t establish your authority on the subject. It’s better to be safe than risk a strike.
Preventing Stories from Fading
News stories have a short lifespan, remaining relevant for only 24 to 72 hours. To maximize visibility, employ proven tactics for virality.
Revive your previous successes by integrating backlinks to your older articles. Here are two effective methods for doing this:
- Subtly embed links within your content.
- Use clear, repetitive links as shown below.
I hope these insights assist you on your writing journey.
