Approval Time for NewsBreak Monetization

Explaining how long it took for me and all the details involved.

I’m happy to report I’ve been approved for monetization at NewsBreak! I wanted to share the details with anyone waiting or thinking about becoming a contributor.

Here are some details:I wrote my first article on NewsBreak on December 24, 2022.

23 total articles
370 followers
734k impressions
46k views
853 likes
565 comments
742 shares

As you may know, contributors have to have 100 registered followers and 10 articles before they can apply for monetization.

I reached these markers after 15 articles on January 6, 2023.

After applying, NewsBreak told me it could take up to one month until they got back to me. I also heard from some Medium writers that it has sometimes taken up to 45 days.

I heard back from them yesterday January 1. That means it took roughly 25 days for them to get back to me, thankfully, to tell me I’m approved.

I really wasn’t sure if I would be approved, especially considering I slowed down writing there to about 2 per week. I wrote 7 articles in 25 days while I awaited the decision.

Now, I’ve been allowed into the contributor community and my dashboard has a few extra areas:

earnings
contributor referral
user referral

So far the earnings all say $0, yet the page tells me it can take up to 48 hours to see my estimated earnings.

I didn’t realize we can get paid for referring people to download the app too. Nice.

If you share your story from the contributor dashboard area, it has a special URL that works to credit you for every user referral.

I thought this information might help those who are waiting on their application to be approved.

If you are interested in writing at NewsBreak then become a contributor through my referral link and get started today.

Join NewsBreak's Contributor Network!

You can also follow me if you are already there.

The Online World is Not Reality

Reality is outside of the online world. This may seem like an obvious statement once it is said, yet most of our modern problems are being caused by people not understanding this truth, that the online world is not reality, that reality is outside of the online world. Just estimating the percentage of generations when it comes to online technology, I would say it goes something like this: Boomers: 70% reality 30% online X: 60% reality 40% online Millennials: 50% reality 50% online Z: 30% reality 70% online Alpha: 10% reality 90% online Beta: project this generation to be 99% online 1% reality Essentially, we are moving towards a time when almost all people will think the online world is reality, and those who know reality is outside of the online world will be very few and far between. Social engineering is guiding the mainstream culture and most subcultures, including the false religious systems, in order to create this outcome, where nearly everyone is deceived into thinking the onli...

What Happens to the Writer's Brain

Too many ideas and voices. It’s been around 40 days since I published an article, and I wanted to explain what happens in the writer’s brain. Essentially, I have too many ideas for articles to write and this causes my brain to meltdown and write nothing. While these ideas are flowing through the brain, life is happening; appliances need replacing, cars need repair, family trips, people passing away, bills getting lost in the mail, and other life happenings like work and chores. In between all of this, these ideas sometimes don’t find place to be expressed in the short time frame I have to share them. The exercise becomes too difficult, the writing takes a back seat to just relaxing and doing productive things around the homestead. Still, the writing brain is getting backed up with all of these ideas, and it begins to distrust they will ever see the light of day by being expressed and published. The hope of finding a fluid streamlined workflow for these ideas to be published diminishes ...
