My Favorite Vocal Groups To Promote Your Articles
Why You Need To Actively Use Groups To Market Your Work On Vocal
If you regularly publish on Vocal, you know the importance of promoting your articles in order to increase your earnings. Unlike Medium, Vocal allows you to earn for each external read your article makes.
Since joining Vocal back in mid-2021, I have written over 60 articles, earning a total of $128.66, which consists of both earnings from reads and bonuses. Although it's not a high amount, I feel like it's a good pay-off for the casual time I spent on the platform.
A big part of that is promoting my articles through two main ways, Facebook and Pinterest. I’ll dedicate a detailed piece on the Pinterest promotion method I rely on in an upcoming piece.
How I Use Facebook For My Vocal Articles?
Facebook is responsible for generating me the highest number of reads, as I use it in two ways:
- Posting on Facebook groups dedicated to networking with other Vocal writers.
- Publishing my articles along with a simple call to action on public themed-facebook groups that are related to my niche. For example, If I am promoting my business article, I would start by searching Facebook groups with a big audience in the topics of business, passive income, and entrepreneurship. The key here is to familiarise yourself with the rules of the groups and know when is it allowed to post links and when it's not accepted. Respect the group and its members and you will get respect and recognition back. Take a week to focus on 3–5 groups and post questions and assist others without sharing your article link.
Let’s have a look at the first method. Not only does it help you build followers and readers but it's a great platform to ask questions and get assistance when it comes to writing and promotion tactics. I even got two tips from writers on these groups that wanted to support my work.
A few things to consider:
- Familiarise yourself with the rules and when it's acceptable to share your links.
- Make sure you take the time to read the articles written by others and add your own feedback to them.
Vocal Groups You Should Join:
- Vocal Media Creators Hub
- The Vocal Creators Lounge
- Vocal Creators Cooperative
- Vocal Media Creators Guild
- Vocal Media Creators Support Community
Bear in mind, these groups will aim to purely help you connect with other Vocal writers. They are not the best promotional way to increase your reads, as they require you to consistently put in the effort to post and answer other members’ questions.
Yet, definitely has helped me in getting genuine reads, building connections, and growing my audience.
The best way to promote your articles passively is by writing high-quality helpful content that is SEO optimized.
