Niner Noise needs YOU to help us cover the 49ers this season and beyond!
By Peter Panacy
Niner Noise, part of the FanSided network, is actively recruiting NFL bloggers and writers to cover the San Francisco 49ers for the rest of 2018 and beyond. Join today!
Are you a passionate fan of the San Francisco 49ers? Do you bleed red and gold? And do you have a desire to express your opinion on more than just social media?
If so, Niner Noise might just be the spot for you.
Niner Noise, part of the ever-growing FanSided network, is looking for new writers and bloggers to join our team this season and beyond. As part of the FanSided network, we offer opinions and viewpoints from a fan-first perspective, not the national narrative you hear on those big sports syndicates that spend two minutes talking about your team.
San Francisco 49ers
You might have years of writing or blogging experience. Or you might be new to the trade and just looking to get your foot in the door.
Either way, we want you!
Sure, you could voice your opinion on Twitter or whatever. But Niner Noise has a platform reaching millions of viewers across the country and around the globe. No joke. Last January, we became the first site in FanSided’s NFL division to reach two million reads in a single month.
If you want your opinion heard, this is the way to go!
What We’re Looking For
First, you have to be a die-hard 49ers fan. But you don’t have to be a fanboy or fangirl. It’s OK to be critical. Heck, that’s what sparks discussion.
But whatever your focus is, we want you to join. Here are the positions we’re looking to fill:
- Editorial staff
- Breaking-news team
- NFL Draft analysts
- Xs and Os film-breakdown crew
Most of all, we want your opinion.
No Experience Needed!
It helps to have a background in blogging, sports-writing or AP style. But it’s not a requirement. Our staff members at FanSided and Niner Noise can work with you to hone your craft, develop your own voice and publish the best content possible.
Our resources include video tutorials, writing tips and one-on-one contact with our editorial staff.
Perks for Joining
Entry-level contributor positions are unpaid. But many of our writers have gone onto receive paid-correspondent positions with FanSided sites. Others have landed paid gigs at Bleacher Report, Sports Illustrated, USA Today and more!
The road to a paid position can be long, requiring a lot of hard work and a bit of luck. But any experienced writer will tell you all you need is a platform.
We give that to you.
In addition, your work and social media platforms will be promoted. It’s not uncommon to see Niner Noise articles pop up on sites like Bleacher Report, Sports Illustrated and even Fox Sports.
There are eyes out there watching. We help you find them.
How to Join
It’s easy. Just head over to fansided.com/apply to fill out an application. Not everyone is accepted, so you know. Remember, we want dedicated and passionate 49ers fans to join the ranks. Not writers and bloggers who are looking for a quick way to get an article or two published.
If selected, you’ll be assigned to one of our team leaders for continued orientation and training. We work with you to help get you up to speed.
Next: We want you to enter to be named FanSided's 'Fan of the Year'
So if breaking down everything red and gold is your thing, don’t hesitate! Head on over to FanSided.com and apply today!
