What is Sporting Opinions?

Our goal is to make SportingOpinions.com the premiere spot for sports analysis on the web. There is no question that the days of large media corporations having free reign over access and distribution of news have come to an end. Already you can see smaller sports sites such as Bleacher Report, SB Nation, and Yardbarker emerging and making a name for themselves.

Sporting Opinions, however, has a different approach. In the information age, with hundreds of articles being available on a given topic in any given hour – we believe that quality clearly trumps quantity. That’s why we only add to our team the most passionate and talented writers out there, making sure readers always access ‘the good stuff’. We want to combine the quality and professionalism of the big media sites with the candor and creativity of blogs. This is where you come in.

Why join Sporting Opinions?

-Exposure: Sporting Opinions is featured in Google News – putting it on equal footing in terms of distribution as the bigger boys in the field and granting every article tremendous exposure to the outside world. Thousands of readers visit the site everyday, and the number of RSS/Facebook/Twitter subscribers is growing daily – ensuring that someone will always be reading your work.

-Promotion:We view each writer as a star in their own right and make sure they are featured prominently across the site. Each article published features the picture and brief bio of the author in question right next to the title – giving them visibility like no other site offers. There’s also room in the ‘Our Writers’ page for our authors to share their credentials and highlight their personal sites or Twitter accounts. We aim to keep looking for ways to promote our writers as do ESPN, instead of making them obscure like the citizen journalism sites out there.

-Flexibility: We don’t require our writers to write a specific amount of posts per week, we don’t dictate the topics they write about, and we certainly don’t have deadlines. You write when you want, which ensures the creation of quality content.

-Support: Our small team means that each writer is properly catered to. Whether it’s technical difficulties, traffic increasing strategies, or discussion of new ideas – we’re always here.

-Compensation: Last but not least, we actually give the room for the skilled and motivated people in our team to make some decent money out of this. Our experienced writers receive 50% of the ad profits for every article they generate. We also provide letters of recommendation/reference letters to suitable members.
