How the money works
We pay $5 per 1,000 pageviews on the articles you write, tracked to your own byline and paid monthly. You can see your own numbers any time.
A solid Detroit sports article on our platform does around 1,000 pageviews. Good ones do several thousand. Our best single article this summer pulled over 45,000 clicks from Facebook alone.
You are paid on your own work
Not a pool. Nobody else’s output changes what you make.
It scales with you
As your beat grows, your pay grows. We are not capping this at what we make today.
Three ways to work with us
General writer
You cover Detroit sports across all the teams. Five to eight pieces a shift, 400 to 700 words. When news breaks you are publishing inside twenty minutes.
You publish straight to WordPress. No approval queue, no waiting on an editor.
Beat writer
You own one team. Three to five pieces a day covering news, analysis, previews, recaps and roster moves.
Most needed right now: Red Wings, Pistons, Michigan and Michigan State. Those beats are underserved and they perform.
Podcast partner
You already run a Detroit sports podcast. We host it, write from it, cut video and reels from it, and push it through our distribution.
You keep your show, your feed, your name, and your sponsors.
Run a podcast? Read this part.
We do not have a podcast. You have something we cannot easily build. That makes this the most valuable thing you can bring us.
Here is what happens to one episode:
- A written article for the site
- Short video and reels for social
- A show page with a proper embedded player
- Distribution to 210,000+ followers and four syndication partners
One recording, four assets. You keep your feed, your name, your sponsors and your independence. This is non-exclusive and it always will be. We are adding a distribution and revenue channel, not taking ownership of anything you built.
Revenue share is negotiated per show and reflects what you are bringing. Talk to us.
Who we are looking for
You do not need a resume
Some of our best writers arrived with nothing but a strong sample and an opinion worth reading. If you have never been paid to write and you think you can do this, apply.
Keep your own thing
Your own site, newsletter, podcast or channel is a plus, not a conflict. Everything here is non-exclusive. Monetizing a small site is close to impossible. That is the problem we solve.
What we actually care about:
- You know Detroit sports well enough to have opinions worth defending
- You can write a headline that earns a click without lying
- You can turn news around fast and get it right
- You will show up consistently
What you get
- Distribution to 210,000+ Facebook followers
- Syndication to SmartNews, Yahoo Sports, NewsBreak and Google News
- Your own byline and full visibility into your performance data
- Direct publishing access with no editorial bottleneck
- Non-exclusive terms. Keep your own site, newsletter, podcast or channel.
Apply
Tell us who you are, what you would cover, and one Detroit sports take you would defend. That last one matters more than a resume.
We read everything and we reply.
