Want to quit your job and write about football full-time?
OleOle needs passionate and articulate football supporters to write about their favourite teams, player transfers, matches (pre- and post-), competitions and cups, and of course, WAGS. And
whatever else is important to you in the world of professional football.
OleOle Blogger - Unpaid Position
As a blogger on OleOle (unpaid), you’ll be eligible for tons of perks you’ll never see as an independent
blogger:
-
First is traffic – once you’re blogging on the OleOle Football
Platform, it’s super-easy to find people who are interested in the same things you are, and you’ll see much more traffic than you can gather as a stand-alone blog.
-
OleOle also offers bloggers unique opportunities at competitions – we
will assign local bloggers to cover matches and provide press / photo journalist credentials. For the past 2 years OleOle has sent a select few writers to the FIFA Club World Cup in Tokyo,
Japan.
-
Winning a blog contest can hook you up with cools stuff – jerseys,
merchandise and the like – and even score you a chance to go to an international competition like the UEFA Euro,
including travel and match tickets / press credentials.
-
Support – don’t maintain your own HTML, scores, groups, team roster,
or any of that stuff – we’ve already got it. Focus on writing, not running a website.
-
But, just like an independent blogger, we won’t edit any of your content. Ever.
To Apply - Unpaid
Not everyone has what it takes to be a paid blogger, but that shouldn’t stop you for writing about your passion on OleOle. We’re looking for proof that you can generate traffic to your blog.
-
So, first, setup a blog on OleOle. If you already have a blog, we have tools to make it easy to transfer
your old blog posts from WordPress and other blog tools directly to OleOle.
-
Then, start writing great content and assign the right Topics to it. Your posts will show up on all the
relevant sections of the site.
-
Most importantly, start promoting your blog. Get it noticed on OleOle and elsewhere by getting people to
link to your blog and your posts. Attract a solid reader base.
-
As your traffic increases and OleOle fans add your blog to their “Favourite Blogs” widget, you’ll
prove you have what it takes to be a paid blogger at OleOle.
-
That's it! Super easy.
-
Later this year, we plan on introducing a revenue sharing program so you can benefit directly from traffic on your blog.
