How Vocal Is Becoming a Hybrid Platform

Hybrid platforms are platforms that bring a contribution in all stages of learning to its users and customers, whose solution involves its users and customers in all stages in a participatory and democratic way, optimizing the processes over time within the platform and giving continuity to the activities performed with full monitoring of internal professionals.

Vocal has grown significantly in recent years, having evolved from a blogging platform that provides storytelling tools and engaged communities for creators to be discovered and fund their creativity, to a hybrid platform of paid non-professional and professional contributions, making a giant contribution to social journalism.

If the last time you were here reading an article was in 2019, then you are in a different place than the Vocal of two years ago. The platform has evolved not only in its interface, its curation, or the way stories and challenges are presented. There has been a significant increase in our users in the past year that has forced the platform to make major updates and become more and more relational between creators and their audience. Many are the new updates that have happened since then.

What has changed in Vocal?

Highlights are perhaps primarily its intuitive interface that shows its full power in the blogging market. But if it's just the interface that most caught your attention, you're a long way from what Vocal has become and what it will still bring to its creators and the general public. In the past two years what Vocal has seen in its development is far more than any other blogging platform can perhaps have seen or achieved.

There are already over a million creators within Vocal interacting and engaged in making the Vocal community grow bigger and bigger. And as a hybrid platform, Vocal is walking side by side with the creators, making the platform more and more a home for their stories and leading the creators into a better future by taking some of the advice and suggestions from the creators.

Updates from the likes on the stories, the challenges, the new ways to manage your subscriptions, the storied partnership, the bonuses for creators, the support tips that can come from any reader who has liked your content, the Vocal ambassador program, the new features in editing the stories, you can now edit your stories even if it has been published, meaning you can now put updates on content that require updates in time.

Still on the changes to updates that are making Vocal a better and better place for creators, many are the changes scheduled to be implemented in the coming months. In the coming months we may see the options for creators to follow other creators, the option to comment on stories, the support option that fans can do for their favorite creators, we may see a more enhanced reading function allowing readers to be able to see the creator's full profile after reading a story, and the option to give feedback to other writers.

Creators following other creators on Vocal

This option for creators to follow other creators will be one of the biggest updates implemented by Vocal, as creators will be able to feel closer to their readers by being able to see their accounts being updated with followers that can be linked to each time they share their stories.

Finally, we will be able to have the pleasure of knowing how many followers are following our content here on the platform and how they are interacting with the content through comments and more.

We can say that the existing features and the one yet to come, will be a mechanism of great enjoyment for creators and readers eager to read exciting stories from Vocal creators. Because through it all, the community will grow significantly and our content will have relevance worldwide and we will feel more fulfilled.

Now that Vocal is a hybrid platform, we can only make the most of it and enjoy every feature that is made available for the sake of our content created with great satisfaction.
