Newsbreak Hates Me
I thought I’d write on Newsbreak. See if I could replicate the success of some people here, so I signed up to the website. But I couldn’t see how to write a story. It turned out I’d signed up to the readers’ site and needed to sign up to the creators’ site — they’re different.
Who knew?
So I signed up to the creators’ site and found I needed a US phone number to apply to write. Shit. I’m British. Apparently you can buy a US number online. But to access the app to do this, you need an iPhone or iPad or i something else. I don’t even have a smartphone.
So, the moral of the story is, Newsbreak is not friendly to British writers who just want to write on a laptop and have a really crap 20 year old pay-as-you-go phone.
