Bleacher Report hiring for sports content distributor

You can make as much from unemployment or working at McDonald's than you can from this gig. Also, how is Bleacher Report growing? Again, Stitch has filled us in with the situation. They are still in the Venture Capital stage. Come back and talk to us about Bleacher Report in 5 years. No... 2 years.

 

Sorry, forgot "Stitch" has more info about the revenue and value of a company than the employees of a company. That makes perfect sense.

 

B/R is a great company and I would be honored to work there if they would accept me. As I said before, I have met some of the workers there or kept in contact with them by email and everyone is very cool and respectful. Company's office is located in beatiful San Francisco in downtown near the ballpark Giants ballpark too!

Good luck to all that apply for this job or future jobs with them.

 

He obviously does, because as an employee of the company, you aren't even considering financials. You just see web hits and say "derrrrrr, we're growing." Gannett gets a lot of web hits too. You want to guess how they're doing financially?

 

Sorry, forgot that you know more about what I'm considering than I do. Man, if I knew only what you think I know...

I didn't realize I was at SportsAssumedFactsMustBeTrue.com

One of the benefits to being at a start-up company is being in-the-loop. One hand usually knows what the other hand is doing because all of the employees know each other. I'm aware how BS-filled some of the statements are, if you want to take them as gospel, go ahead.

People who assume we're not making money from advertising, that King Kaufman was our last hire, that we're "scared" of so-and-so, that we're lagging behind competitors or that we're going to suffer from Google's latest overhaul are speculating...and doing so very poorly.

 

Is it grape Kool-Aid, Schottey? I love grape Kool-Aid.

 

Nope, today it's Gillette Shave Gel http://bleacherreport.com/ ...but I'm sure they didn't pay us ANYTHING to have sitewide wraparound advertising AND a top-of-the-page module. We're losing so much money!

Also, Old Spice never gave us a red cent after we changed the name of our Pop Culture section to "BR Swagger."

Toyota USA really screwed us by taking those other modules without paying for them...thieves!

If only there was some way to make money from major companies who advertise on sites with huge readership numbers...

 

I wouldn't say this is the best method of shining a favorable light on an organization with an already dim reputation.

 

In that case, please enlighten all of us over here at SportsAssumedFactsMustBeTrue.com. What is the other hand doing? How much money did Bleacher Report make in the last few years? Last year? Last quarter? Do they have a significant amount of debt to pay back? How much revenue is coming from advertising? Is it enough to pay back the initial investors? If it is, why are they still getting more investment money?

In terms of web hits, no you may not be lagging behind many competitors but in terms of web content, you said it yourself - its not as good. Besides, if you know its not as good, and I know its not as good (and these aren't just assumed facts) doesn't google know its not good? Does google want to be associated with returning links to places that just aren't good?

I'm getting off topic a bit, just like you did in your post. But I want to know... if you have so much insider information about how financially savvy Bleacher Report is let it out. My inkling is that you don't know as much as your leading on. And you couldn't get the information if you wanted to.

Oh lastly, if Bleacher Report were so great, you wouldn't still be calling it a start up. It's be-called a stage two company or second stage company. Just though you should know that.

 

Do you think this is a good thing, altering content for an advertiser? If so, it shows how much of a journalist you truly are. I guess I have already answered that question; you wouldn't have posted it if you didn't think of it as negative.

 

What content was changed? The name of the page was changed. It's no different than a newspaper running a car dealership ad above the fold. It's called high-visibility.

Didn't change the content of the page one iota.

Oh and sorry Mustang, if you'd like a look at B/R's financials, I encourage you to apply to the company and/or invest in it (wouldn't be a bad deal actually!) companies don't usually post financials on message boards. Sorry.

I said what I said, believe it or not, it doesn't really affect me. I'll keep giggling everytime someone makes an asinine statement about how bad we're doing or how people are better off unemployed or working at McDonald's.

FWIW, I started at B/R with an "illegal salary"--contractual, part time, freelance position. I'm now being paid quite handsomely--far more than the salary many newspapers had offered me and much more than some of the jobs listed here on a daily basis.

 

Change of content is what Bleacher Report needs more than it does sponsorship, though.
