ItsMyNews · Est. 2021 · Brooklyn, NY
Your story. Your angle. Published in minutes — not days.
A contributor-first newsroom where independent writers own their byline, keep 80% of ad revenue, and ship original reporting to a built-in audience of 4.2 million monthly readers — without gatekeepers, editors, or 30-day waitlists.
Section II · The Pitch
Eight things you get the moment you publish here.
No pitch decks. No editor emails. No waiting for the algorithm to notice you. These are the concrete, verified terms that working writers get on day one.
-
01
80% revenue share, paid every week.
Stripe direct deposit, every Friday — versus the industry-standard 50% net-60 terms that keep your money locked for two months. You earned it; you keep it.

A built-in audience of 4.2M monthly readers.
Verified by Similarweb, Q1 2026. You do not start from zero — your first article ships into a network that already exists and is already reading.

No editorial review board. Publish in minutes.
1.8 million articles shipped since 2021 with a 99.2% approval-after-the-fact rate. The platform trusts the writer; the writer trusts the byline.

Mobile-first editor with voice-to-article.
Dictate in any of 11 languages from the scene — the courthouse, the protest, the factory floor. 38% of active contributors publish primarily from their phones.

08
Human-Verified badge via Originality.ai.
Every human-written story carries a verified mark that lifts click-through by an average of 47%. We are anti-AI-content by policy, not by slogan.
Section III · The Audit
The audience is already here, and it is measurable.
Every figure below is verified by a third party — Similarweb, Stripe, or our own audited quarterly transparency report. We do not round up.
Section IV · The Terms
What you keep, how fast you're paid, and what you skip.
A contributor's earnings-and-freedom ledger. We compared our standard terms against the typical magazine pitch, the Substack creator program, and a legacy news syndicate.
| Term | ItsMyNews | Industry standard |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue share to writer | 80% of net ad revenue | 50% of net, paid net-60 |
| Payout cadence | Weekly via Stripe direct deposit | Monthly, often delayed 60–90 days |
| Time from draft to live URL | 3 minutes 12 seconds (median) | 3 to 14 days, with editorial rounds |
| Editorial gatekeeping | None. After-the-fact moderation only | Assignment editor + 2 copy desks |
| Google News indexing | Under 4 minutes · 94% Top Stories pickup | 24–72 hours, no Top Stories guarantee |
Heads up. Revenue share is calculated monthly from net programmatic ad revenue on the pages you author. Payouts vary month to month with traffic and ad market conditions — we publish the per-CPM numbers in our quarterly transparency report rather than promising per-article earnings.
Read the full revenue policy →A note from the desk
“I spent three years pitching editors who ghosted me, and two years writing under house style for outlets that put my name in 11-point gray at the bottom of the page. The byline was never mine. Here, the byline is the product. The platform does not own my voice, my angle, or my weekend.”
Section V · The Tool
Write it from the scene. Publish before you leave.
The ItsMyNews editor is built for reporters in the field, not for desk-bound CMS users. Open the app, dictate your draft, drop in a photo from the courthouse steps, and hit publish. The story is live before you reach the parking lot.
-
Voice-to-article in 11 languages
Dictate in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Mandarin, or Hindi. The editor cleans up filler words, formats your paragraphs, and preserves your voice.
-
Photo-first blocks
Tap to insert a photo straight into the running text. Captions and credit lines auto-populate. Documentary photography is treated with a warm overlay and a 2px keyline — no neon filters, no duotone.
-
One-tap publish to Google News
Hit publish and the article is on the wire in 3 minutes 12 seconds (median). Push notifications go to subscribers, the URL is indexable, and the Human-Verified badge attaches automatically.
Section VI · The Invitation
Your first article can be live before lunch.
Register as a contributor, draft in the mobile or web editor, and publish. The audience of 4.2 million monthly readers is already on the other end of the byline.
