The Problem • There is a growing need for quality content in the media industry. • But good freelancers are hard to find.
The Solution is Journolaunch • A database of publications that is circulated to freelance journalists. • We identify top freelancers and recommend them to publishers.
How it Works • Publications pay to be listed in the database, which is made available for free to journalists who sign up. • When a freelancer is connected to a publisher through our system, we take a small cut of the payment.
Outreach & Development • Direct market to publications put the database in front of them and show them how freelancers will use it to connect with them. • Reach out to journalism organizations and journalism schools to build freelance network.
