The Huddle Contributor Program

So I have been thinking a bit about something and need to gauge interest.

 

I know some other sites ask for fans to write up content, promise to pay, and never do.

 

What if the Huddle were to accept contributions from fans for publishing on the front page (which gets a ton of views now).

 

But instead of getting paid by the huddle, contributors would set up their own donations button through paypal. That way if the readers enjoy a certain contributor, they can kick them a dollar directly.

 

It is the perfect free market solution. Whoever provides the best content gets the most donations.

 

Thoughts?

If we don't like the content can we get a dollar back?

 

 

 

j/k.... I like the idea and I like the idea of getting multiple new contributors to pop their cherry.  There is a hidden Peter King inside some of these huddlers.  [edit:  bad example]

What's the process?  Do contributors write something and message to you?

 

I am sure some folks already have a portfolio of stuff they have written for other sites or school or what have you.

 

The huddle staff could maybe review and approve new contributors?

Good idea, but I suspect the contributors will get very very little in donations. I'm not saying this is fair, but no one wants to pay for anything on the Internet any longer.

I only mention this from a perspective of setting expectations for your contributors. I think most would do it for free just to get recognized.

Just my two cents.

I like the idea. Maybe the donations could be to whatever charity deangelo has for late mother. I know it's for breast cancer but didn't know if it was for a specific foundation he created.

 

I don't think donations need to go to a charity. People should be rewarded for the hard work they put into articles. If the writer wants to donate to charity, thats up to him/her. Its not like contributors are high paid athletes.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I meant write off in the entire class being absolute garbage and that being on Dan  FA was pretty solid but Dan and Brandt handing out one big terrible contract to Turk Wharton. Milton was their top target and the pivot from Milton to Turk while paying Turk what they did was insane.  Id LOVE to know had we not paid Turk what type of contract he would’ve received. 3/30 mayyyybe? This is someone Brandt obviously vouched for.  I’ve watched a few of Tilis’ interviews now. One with Jourdan and one with Yates. He’s a big Moneyball fan. Giving Turk the deal they gave him is the complete opposite of the whole Moneyball idea. They paid a dude who they saw some potential in money that you’d pay someone that has actually made an impact  The worst part is that he’s 100% here next year too. That contract keeps him here until 2027 for sure

      Are you kidding? They just now figured out they could use someone else for a qb sneak.

      The biggest problem is that his upward trend is still well below NFL average. At some point there's just too much evidence to ignore. I've been there for awhile now. Honestly, it only took a handful of games for me to realize that he just had too many physical limitations to overcome to ever be a legitimate starter. I get that the organization couldn't afford to pull the plug that quick after that investment but there's absolutely no way we should've gone into year three without legitimate competition on the roster. We always a year behind kn this Bryce thing. This year should've been the legit competition year and this offseason should've been the moving on point. Hopefully we'll play catch up but I expect the trend to cj tinge and next year will be the vet competition year.
