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
