It’s amazing what you can find on Craigslist.

While this is not a paid position, we do offer the chance for you to receive 50% of all the ad revenue run on your site. Ultimately, the compensation we offer is that which comes from the exposure you will receive as a part of our team.
If you are interested, please send a writing sample to the e-mail address above.
Maybe this is Sports Blog Nation, or another upstart sports blog network.
Knowing the publisher of this site like I do, I’m willing to bet he’d offer the same revenue split with enterprising UNL journalism students. It’s all about building an audience. In the end, the media team that does that best will have plenty of ad revenue to divvy up.

You are correct. I’d offer the same terms as well.
Additionally, if any aspiring salesman would like to front for ad sales for the site, I’m sure we could come up with nice commission terms.

Ah, even more enterprising than I realized.
