The most famous of social networks announces the arrival of a new service called Bulletin.

The latter allows editors to publish articles and create free newsletters, but also paid.

These newsletters can then be published on the Web, sent by email or simply shared on Facebook.

Bulletin is not integrated into the social network, the new Facebook service has indeed its own platform which can confuse readers.

On Bulletin, visitors can read various productions by designers, journalists and other well-known personalities.

A concept that obviously recalls blogs and other platforms of the genre.

Some of the publications are free, others are chargeable.

The choice is left to the creators.

Initially, Facebook will not take any percentage on the subscriptions made on Bulletin.

In addition, creators retain full ownership of their production.

Better monetization for authors

Bulletin is "focused on empowering freelance writers, helping them reach new audiences and propel their businesses," said Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook. The latter said that Bulletin's goal was to provide a new way for creators to monetize their work. “The goal here across the company is to ultimately support millions of people doing creative work,” said the CEO of Facebook.

This new service obviously did not come out of nowhere.

Bulletin is really just Facebook's response to services like Substack which have been growing in popularity for a while.

Facebook is not the only social network to realize the potential of this type of service.

Twitter has recently bought Revue, a newsletters platform, although for the moment the social network has still not exploited it.

If Facebook has announced the launch of its new project, it is not yet fully available.

Only a handful of writers and creators pre-selected by Facebook can post on Bulletin.

The social network has nevertheless indicated that new users will soon be able to use its new service, without giving a precise date.
