## What is Outlit?

Publish and earn on Outlit - the new social media app built specifically for stories, news, and publishing that is quickly disrupting how the world reads and publishes online. 

Outlit, one of the fastest-growing new social platforms, lets you:

•Discover news and stories faster and easier than ever before
•Discuss what matters with friends and the community, and best of all 
•Get paid for posts and stories you create and publish

With thousands of sources and voices in a single place, Outlit lets creators, journalists, and publishers earn big and grow their voice on the world's first information marketplace of its kind.

Other social networks turn you into a product. Outlit is different. On Outlit, those who publish stories and share posts earn the lion's share of revenue generated by their work. We're flipping the business model of other social networks on its head and actually paying users like you instead of selling you (and your data) out. 

***

"Put simply, Outlit pays its users who share, post, or publish. If it isn't already a journalist's new best friend, it should be - and those who don't publish on Outlit are leaving money on the table." 
-Craig J., freelance journalist

Publish and Earn:

Why should other social networks make all the money off of your posts, stories, and ideas? Despite not being optimized for news and stories, other social networks are making billions while journalists, creators, and publishers struggle.

Journalism has never been more important. 

That’s why we built Outlit -  the only social publishing network and app that lets anyone publish and earn.

It’s incredibly easy to make money on Outlit if you have a valuable story to share:

1)  Create your story on outl.it/publish or on the publish page on the Outlit app. Add a title, tell your story, and add photos, videos, and other optional media. 

2) A free preview of your story will appear to others across Outlit. If you want to make money from your full story, you can set your own paywall and monetization options. 

3) You can set a price for other users to pay to view your full story. Tap or click “earn from ads” to allow a free version of your story to be viewed with ads. Outlit sells this advertising space to premium buyers, passing the lion’s share along to you.  

4) Click publish. That’s it! Your story is now available to the world. You can track your earnings on your Outlit wallet from on-demand views and advertising.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2021-09-20, version 1.0.1*

Unable to perform your request, it kept telling when I tried 3 different times to make an account. This app does not work.

### 5/5 — The App is as great as the website.

*2020-04-08, version 1.0.1*

I've been using the Outlit website for a few years now.  It's so easy to publish and compile your own news stories....AND you get $$$ for doing so! Now comes the long awaited app....it's as good or better than the website.  Thanks Outlit.

### 5/5 — I can make money from blogging?!?

*2020-03-12, version 1.0.1*

This is the first app I’ve seen where I can write something and get paid when people read it! No need to set up a website and get advertisers etc. Plus, there’s an ad-free option for when I read stories. I also like the social aspect of the site, a great way to have discussions with people without the limitations of twitter. Good stuff.

### 5/5 — Superb!

*2020-03-09, version 1.0.1*

Such an easier and cheaper way for me to get my news! Great!
