Bright Hubs goal is simple- provide readers with a dependable resource to make informed life, education, or technology decisions. Our expert writer network and active community of life-long enthusiasts help us reach this goal by offering extensive knowledge about the ways science and technology impact our work, our play, and all aspects of our lives.

Shared Success Program Overview

The Bright Hub Shared Success Program is based on the principle of empowerment economics the idea that everyone in the value chain can benefit from their efforts. This network effect is powerful, enabling members to leverage each others strengths, while keeping standards high and building reader traffic together. With a community of expert writers and editors, our channels achieve the goal of helping readers find the information they are looking for.

By meeting the needs of the search market, a channel of writers can build a readership that comes back to Bright Hub for great information again and again. The better the channel is at meeting the needs of the search market, the more revenue that channel will earn and share amongst its channel member network.


Site Structure

Bright Hub contains multiple hubs that are comprised of channels. Each hub addresses a particular discipline, and contains various channels that address more specific subject matter related to the hub.

A channel consists of articles or reviews, and sometimes discussions, blogs and media galleries, generated for a specific common subject related to its hub.

A community grows under channels and not under our more general hubs. The three types of channel opportunities available for writers at Bright Hub include Editorial Community Channels, Self-Publish Community Channels, and Personal Channels.
 
 

Editorial Community Channel Structure

Each channel contains a network of participants. There are three distinct roles that anyone participant can play. There is only one Managing Editor per channel. The roles are:
  • Managing Editor (1 per channel)
  • Contributing Editors (1 to 5 in a channel)
  • Channel Writers (5 to 50 in a channel)

Each role in the program comes with specific requirements and benefits and channel members must maintain their good status in order to continue to receive the revenue sharing of that channel and/or article content.

 

Self-Publish Community Channel Structure

Bright Hub Self-Publish Community Channels have a very similar structure to the above managed channels.  Each hub addresses a specific discipline and contains groups of related content in its channels.

Where Self-Publish Community Channels differ is that they consist entirely of writers with no editor roles in the program. Self-Publish Community Channel writers enjoy greater freedom in determining article content and strategy. In addition, writers can apply and start writing today!


Now that we've given you an overview of Bright Hub, let's move on to the opportunities available for writers.
