As someone who has been with vocal since the beginning I am very disappointed in the direction its headed.

However, what you’ve described is the Ambassador Program that Vocal offers and those people get paid by the brand they are writing for. Not vocal for the top story.

Vocal only does that every so often and then it goes away for a few weeks.

I heard that it’s really good pay and the choices are great.

Now as to vocal’s horrendous down fall, I don’t plan to stay after this year as my writing there has ran its course. I’ve made over 3000$ on vocals with challenges and top stories but it’s not worth it when vocal only cares about Statement pieces and not quality content.
