Intro and Onboarding

What is the Onefootball Creators? The Onefootball Creators is the world’s foremost football content platform. Our vision is to make the very best football content available natively in one place to millions of Onefootball users across the globe. Independent content creators are handpicked by our editorial teams in the following languages: Brazilian Portuguese, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

I’ve agreed to join the Onefootball Creators. Now what? You will receive an email inviting you to activate your Creator account and complete the registration process. To do so, simply:

  • Click the registration link
  • Set your password
  • Log in using your email address and your new password
  • Complete your app settings information
  • Agree to the terms and conditions

Your content will then start appearing on Onefootball. It’s really that easy.

What are my app settings and why does Onefootball need them? Your app settings are the settings that will determine how your content is distributed in the app and how it looks once it’s there. We ask for the following information so that we can create a personalised article template and make sure your content gets to the right users:

  • Display name: How you want your site’s name to be displayed in the app
  • Site URLs: We need the link to both the homepage of your site (so that we know where to get the content from) and to your imprint (or legal page) for legal reasons
  • Logo: We use your logo as your icon in the app so that users can easily identify your site and your content when they see them. Please make sure the logo is between 200 and 400 pixels in height and width and that it looks good in a circle (think of a typical Twitter or Instagram icon, for example)
  • Topic or team: We need to know what you write about in order to make sure your content gets in front of relevant users. If you write about a specific team, we want to make sure your articles go straight onto that team’s page for all of their fans to read. If you write about more than one team or any other general football topics, we know to evaluate each article independently to ensure that the specific article goes to the right pages in our app.

You can go back and edit your app settings at any time.


Content

How does Onefootball get my content? We use WordPress’s REST API. The advantage for the content creators is that there is no technical work required from your side in order for us to start getting your content and integrating it one Onefootball. It’s kind of magical.

Where can I see my content once it’s published on Onefootball? In the app! If you want a reference of every article of yours that’s been read on Onefootball, just go to the Dashboard in your account and check your analytics. There, you will also find a link to each article.

One or more of my articles aren’t displaying correctly on Onefootball. What do I do? In order to make your content display natively and beautifully on Onefootball, we parse the HTML of the bodies of your articles. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language and is the code that the web is built on. Web pages can be very complicated but since we provide a simple, elegant reading experience for our users, we require proper, clean HTML that uses elements that we currently support.

If something is not displaying in the app, it is probably either because you are using an HTML element that we do not yet support or because the HTML in the article is not properly structured.

Please refer to our complete HTML Guide for more information, including a full list of supported HTML elements and HTML structure requirements.

How do I check how my articles are performing? A complete monthly analytics report can be downloaded directly from the Dashboard. You can download the report for the current month (updated to the day prior) or for any previous month.

In each report, you will find a list of your articles with the number of reads, as well as cumulative totals for the month. Note that because an article can be published on a Monday but read by a user on a Tuesday, the readership figures for individual articles can increase from day to day.


Payments

What about the money? We would like to make sure that you are rewarded fairly for your engagement on our platform. You will get a fee for every 1,000 articles that users have read on the platform — a rate that we call CPMAR (Cost per mille of articles read). This fee depends on the countries in which your articles were read.

Great, but how do I actually get paid? Our current payment procedure is that Onefootball will email you within 14 days at the end of every month with the amount earned for the previous month. You must then send an invoice to finance@onefootball.com containing either PayPal information (preferred) or bank details for a bank transfer. Onefootball will transfer the money to your specified account within 30 days of receiving the invoice.


Other services

How do I access Getty Images? From the Dashboard, simply click on the Getty Images module to access our Getty Images console. Once there, you will have to log in using the email address and password provided to you.

I know someone who wants to join the Onefootball Creators. What do I do? Candidates to join the Onefootball Creators are currently being evaluated on an invitation-only basis to ensure that only the very best content makes it onto the platform. We plan to roll out an application process for new Creators in the near future.
