Let’s start with the biggest news— I’m officially a News Break creator. I had taken a look at the platform before and found it to be pretty much a news aggregator, similar to MSN or Yahoo. Since I’ve written for both of those, when they announced they were opening up to content creators I jumped in. It’s a fun platform, but a tiny bit click-baity. The goal of recruiting new writers could be their attempt to soften that a bit.
With all the new writers they are bringing on board, the content should improve dramatically. If you are interested in writing for them yourself, here’s my referral link. (I get paid for writing AND recruiting, and you can too!)
The next exciting thing is that I am seriously into Facebook this week. I know, I know, you are considering giving it up altogether. It all started with a story I read on Medium that cranked up my creative juices. Here’s how that went.
So my deep dive found me creating several new FB pages. One for my Breakout Writing Brand that will serve as a hub for everything I’m doing under that umbrella. You can follow that one here. There’s a companion mastermind group that I’ll be opening up soon too, so watch for that.
And finally, once I started connecting with the NewsBreak platform, I realized the talent there is amazing. Because of that, I felt compelled to start a curated FB page of nothing but the best NewsBreak stories I can find. Here’s the link to that if you’d like to see some of the good stuff in your feed for a change.
I started the week with an overwhelming sense of gratitude still hanging around with last Thursday’s turkey leftovers. All I can think about is sharing that feeling with everyone I come in contact with.
Here’s hoping the remainder of your week is filled with joy and gratitude. Feel free to share anything you want in the comments.
Yours,
Melinda
