Well, I have tried Vocal.media in the past and I have failed miserably on the platform. Even editing the articles once published to is a pure nightmare as the writer has to send mail to Vocal for any update or deletion.

And yes, the SEO on the platform sucks. There have been times when I wrote original articles of 5 to 7 minute read long, and I got less than 10 views. Hence, after getting frustrated, I sent them a mail and deleted all the articles and the account.

I hope you get success on the platform. Wish you the best.
