Oh! That's interesting. Thanks. I looked up how one of them worked and it said you needed all this i tech to download the app. I don't write news. I just have the same kind of evergreen stuff that I write on Medium. I thought copying some articles over was worth a punt. But I'm not sure I'll be successful or if it's worth spending money on a phone number when I have to try to get 100 followers to download the app to their phones and follow me before I can start earning. There are a lot of hoops to jump through before I can start earning, and presumably I need the phone number for more than a week, so I can get into my account again. I wish they'd just accept a UK number, but it's clearly not set up for UK writers.
