Facebook Bulletin Gets an Infusion of New Creators

More than 30 new creators are joining Bulletin, the platform for independent writers that Facebook initially discussed in March and debuted last month. Each creator on Bulletin has a standalone website under their own brand, and they can customize the color palette, logo and name of their publications, as well as customizing their articles with multimedia embeds and other styling options. Bulletin writers start under multiyear licensing deals and keep all subscription revenue for the length of their partnerships with Facebook. They will be able to take their subscriber lists and content with them at the end of those deals. Subscription payments are securely handled via Facebook Pay, enabling readers to pay with a credit card, debit card or PayPal account. Writers on the Bulletin platform can offer a range of subscription-based features, including commenting abilities, exclusive content and groups available only to subscribers. Analytics tools help them understand their audiences and grow their subscriber base. Content from Bulletin is eligible for distribution via Facebook News and other discovery surfaces, and tools enabling creators to distribute podcasts, including externally hosted podcasts, and other audio features will be added soon. Bulletin also integrates with creators’ pages, enabling publishing across various multimedia formats. The new creators added to Bulletin Tuesday are: Mari Andrew, Out of the Blue: A weekly compilation of the bright, dark, deep, shallow, sweet and bitter things Mari Andrew is paying attention to.Roger Bennett, Courage: Football, culture and life.
