Owner/Publisher TAPinto Hillside

This is not a job but rather the opportunity to own/operate the local news and digital marketing platform for Hillside, NJ, TAPinto Hillside.  There are two aspects to owning/operating TAPinto Hillside:  providing original local news reporting every day for the community (which typically takes 15-30 hours per week) and working with the local businesses in the community (which typically takes 5-10 hours per week).

TAPinto is an award-winning network of more than 90 independently owned and operated local news and digital marketing platforms. Our franchisees provide trustworthy, reliable community news and information. We also specialize in connecting businesses and organizations to the residents in the communities we serve through innovative marketing opportunities.

Our low cost of entry and little overhead provides TAPinto owners/publishers the opportunity to recoup your investment quickly. In fact, many of our franchise owners regain their initial investment in less than one year!

Our sales model is focused on collaboration and cross-sales, creating nearly limitless room for growth.
