If you make content about Lakewood Ranch, from reels and newsletters to Facebook groups and podcasts, partner with us on paid collaborations and referral revenue share. Details are shared on approval.
Referral revenue share
Earn when businesses you refer become paying advertisers. Terms are shared when you're approved.
Better local material
Early access to events, openings, and Ranch Radar stories you can build content around.
You're a good fit if…
- You post about life in Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, or Manatee County
- Your audience is real and mostly local (any size is fine)
- You only recommend places you'd actually send a friend
We don't post a rate card. Payment and revenue share terms come in writing once you're approved, before any work starts.
Questions creators ask
How much does it pay?
It depends on the project and your audience, so we don't post a rate card. Payment and revenue share terms are shared in writing when you're approved, before you do any work.
Do I need a big following?
No. A small, engaged local audience is often more useful to a local business than a big national one. Pick your honest range on the form.
Will I have to post things I don't believe in?
No. You choose what you take on, and partnered posts are clearly disclosed. We only list verified businesses and don't want fake reviews or hype.
How long until I hear back?
Every application is read by a person. We reply by email whether or not it's a fit.
