这个自媒体项目,1000阅读付27元,值得做吗
现在有很多人在做自媒体写作,通过分享内容,获得收入。国内很多自媒体平台的单价很低,如果不能出爆文,收入低的可怜。有的人天天更新,每天的收入就是几分钱,前途一篇茫然。稍有违规,就被禁言,甚至封号。有时幸幸苦苦做起来的账号,瞬间灰飞烟灭。今天看到一个国外的自媒体创作平台叫Vocal,承诺1000阅读付款3.8美元,合27元人民币。这个项目值得做吗?
什么是Vocal?
Vocal 是一个可以发布文章并获取报酬的网站。听起来挺不错的,但是如果发布的文章没有阅读量的话,一分钱也赚不到。与许多其他网站不同,Vocal 不会为文章支付固定费用。相反,你的文章会根据不同因素随时间赚取报酬。
Vocal 对一篇文章有一些质量要求。首先,文章不应该有拼写和语法错误(显而易见),还有字数限制。一篇文章不能少于600字,诗歌不能少于100字。此外,他们也不喜欢色情、裸露等一些主题。
Vocal支付给写作者多少钱?
文章可以通过被阅读的次数、每周的比赛以及读者给予的小费来赚钱。
根据Vocal的说法,作家每1,000次阅读可以赚取3.80美元,合27元人民币。如果订阅了Vocal+(每月10美元,有30天免费试用),每1,000次阅读可以赚取6美元。所以,假设订阅了Vocal+,如果文章突然爆红,获得了100万次阅读。那就是6000美元的收入,不错哦。不过,我倒是想知道他们的平台上是否曾经发生过这种情况。
此外,什么算是一次阅读呢?读者必须滚动整篇文章才算“阅读”(也就是阅读完成),还是他们必须在页面上停留一段时间才算?阅读量是通过Vocal的阅读算法计算的(也许我们永远不知道她们的算法),该算法考虑了页面停留时间以及页面滚动的程度等因素。
Vocal还有每周的比赛。有些比赛提供现金奖励,而其他比赛则提供不同类型的奖品。但是必须是Vocal+会员,才能参加比赛。
另外如果读者喜欢你的文章,他们也可以给你小费。但是Vocal收取7%的处理费,Vocal+会员会被收取2.9%的处理费。
如果要做Vocal,怎么做?
首选你需要登录她们的网站,然后注册。注册后,很容易开始在平台上写作。界面干净简单,类似于 Medium,没有巨大的学习曲线。您可以随心所欲地发布,在每个帖子的末尾都有一个 Twitter 按钮和一个 Facebook 按钮,可让您在社交媒体上分享您的作品。
Vocal Media 还允许您从网站 Unsplash 中提取免费图片,以增加帖子的视觉吸引力。允许在帖子中嵌入 gif、Youtube 视频和嵌入到其他网站。
似乎每个帖子在网站上线之前都经过编辑团队的审查,因此对 Vocal Media 上的内容有一定程度的质量控制。
如果不懂英文,我该这么做这个自媒体项目呢?
首先要选择好一个分类,也就是内容创作领域。然后在这个领域内进行创作。怎么生成内容呢?
之前如果不懂英语,那是没办法做的,现在我们借助AI工具是可以做的。下面的一些提示词可以帮你生成一些英文内容:
- “I’m looking for a [type of blog post] that will engage my [ideal customer persona] with a unique and compelling perspective on [subject] and persuade them to take [desired action] on my [website/product].”

总结说明:
Vocal每月的浏览也就是80万左右,相比其它自媒体流量,太少了。
也就是说,你要想从众多的写作者之间,分享到一定的流量,除非你的文章特别优秀,否则那是痴人做梦。虽然承诺阅读价格看上去很高,但是要想获得支付,那是一条艰难的路。我在Vocal发布的一篇文章,已经一周了,还没有一个阅读。那么这样的平台,值得做吗?
