I'd love to try writing about ONE in the futureHello MMA Community!
My name is Jacob, and I have recently purchased a blog that used to be a boxing site. I plan on turning this into an mma site covering UFC, Bellator, and possibly One FC. Im looking for big fans in the sport. You dont have to know how to be writer, but as long as you know what you are talking about we can work with that. There will be an opportunity for pay on your works once the site creates some type of revenue, however for now I am just starting and looking for people who want to gain experience. I plan on credentialing about 3 or 4 writers in different parts of the US to cover live UFC weigh ins, events, and post-fight interviews. I am being helped by an uncle who has many credentialed writers for the NBA, so I am just looking to expand a team. Ideally I would want a writer to publish only 3 articles a week, and there will be a weekly podcast as well in the future.

Good perspective, makes sense.Before you start @Fight Scribe I'd advise you to get some investors or take out a loan and pay your writers a wage. If you can't do that, no need to start a blog. Writers can already work for no pay at plenty of places with decent name recognition or start their own blogs. For the level of output you're seeking, not paying is exploitative.
Everybody needs a start. I bet every major blog that started didn’t pay their writers right off the back. No need to say if you can’t afford to pay writers then you shouldn’t start a blog.Before you start @Fight Scribe I'd advise you to get some investors or take out a loan and pay your writers a wage.

If you aren't paying the writers, what "start" are you offering them? They can write for free here and at least know we're all reading their thoughts. Or they can go to Bleacher Report and get paid next to nothing or just post on Medium. What I'm saying is that if you're seriously planning to launch or relaunch a domain, then you need a budget for paying to host the domain, a budget for marketing, and a budget to pay the talent. If you can't ask whoever does your hosting and design to do it for free and you can't run ads for free, why would you make the people populating your site with content work for free?Everybody needs a start.

I definitely understand what you are saying, and I could definitely talk to people who would be willing to invest. In a perfect world I would love to pay everyone right off the back. As a full time student, and full time employee I have to work around the clock for everything. As I mentioned in the first post if and once the site generates any money I would pay writers. I know many people who enjoy writing for blogs just for fun and are just fans of the sport. Posting in a community is very different than a public site. Bleacher report does pay pretty much nothing but not everybody can just write, and I’m sure somebody out there would be willing to help out a small company rather than BR. There are avenues everywhere, and there is not one technique that leads to success. I’m sure there are many companies who didn’t just have that conventional start. It was nice to hear how you would try to run a site on your own though.If you aren't paying the writers, what "start" are you offering them?

Thanks for sharing. I’m sure a lot of people see the same way as you. I’ll probably let those writers put an article when they want, or those who have podcasts can write their own article and share their links. If any one has an obligation you are right they should be payed for it. I’m definitely willing to work with anyone who would like to do continued work.I think plenty of us would be open to contributing a piece once in a blue moon on our own time, when we have no other real life obligations to handle. Cranking out articles on a schedule as a work obligation for no pay is different.
Eh, you never know though. There might be someone out there willing to write on a schedule for free.Thanks for sharing. I’m sure a lot of people see the same way as you.
