Our Budget – Your Decision
EARN Credits on Spot.Us answering 3 quick questions - then fund a story!
Hello Spot.Us community members. We are very excited about sharing a new feature we are calling “community centered advertising.”
Check out Spot.Us’ new button “Earn Credits.” Simply log in, take a three question survey from our sponsor and earn $5 in credits which can support the reporting of your choice. (Go directly to the survey here.

By taking this quick survey you can generate real money to support the reporting topic of your choice. And you’ll help us re-think and re-invent advertising along the way! But this offer is only good while the sponsorship dollars last! And you can only take the survey once – so choose wisely!
If you’ve ever wanted to help Spot.Us out more but couldn’t bare reaching for your wallet – now is your chance to get involved!
How it works
- Register or log in at Spot.Us.
- Click the “Earn Credits” button in the header.
- Take the painless survey. Just three questions. At the end of the third question it’s OPTIONAL to leave your email address for more information (100% OPTIONAL)
- Click submit. Then browse pitches on Spot.Us. Click “Apply Credits,” confirm you want to apply your credits and bingo!
- Feel good that you’ve helped support civic reporting.
THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!
Normally a news organization gets advertising dollars and the editor decides where the money goes. That’s not the case here at Spot.Us. We let the community decide. But we do have to thank our sponsors “Mortgage Revolution.” They are working to change the image of mortgage professionals – and that’s why they are giving you the chance to control your local media through Spot.Us. Mortgage Revolution has no say in where the money goes – it goes through you! So please join me in thanking Mortgage Revolution for the chance to experiment with “community centered advertising.” Let’s also wish them lots of luck in stirring a grassroots movement in the mortgage industry that upholds higher standards for transparency in lending and ethical business conduct. GO MORTGAGE REVOLUTION!
INTERESTED IN BEING A SPONSOR?
We are looking for more sponsors! Consider a survey for market research, brand or cause marketing or more (we have lots of ideas). In exchange – your sponsorship dollars will go directly to community members so they can fund the reporting of their choice (and they’ll love you for it).
Are you interested in being a sponsor? We have special deals for the first few organiations that commit. Contact: David@spot.us for more info.
Until next time.
