FanSided is hiring: Multi-platform Content Creator - Cubbies Crib (Chicago Cubs)

Overview

Cubbies Crib, FanSided’s leading Chicago Cubs site, is looking for a bold, funny, passionate Cubs fan to become the voice and face of our site's brand across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, podcasts, and the web. This is not just a writing gig — it’s a chance to build your personal brand as the go-to Cubs personality for a national fanbase.

What You’ll Do

This is a high-volume, high-visibility content role for someone who’s ready to own a lane. As the Cubbies Crib creator, you’ll:

• Short-Form Video: Create 3–5 TikToks per day; repurpose the same content as YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels; react to Cubs news, break down trades, stitch hot takes, rant about lineups, and show real fan emotion; tap into trends, memes, and viral formats with a Cubs twist.
• Podcast Hosting: Record and host 1 video podcast per week (30–60 minutes); cover the Cubs’ weekly storylines, big games, rivalries, and fan energy; record emergency episodes for major breaking news; clip 5–10 highlights per week for Shorts, TikTok, and Reels.
• Writing & Site Support: Publish 2 articles per week on CubbiesCrib.com; embed your podcast; post news/opinion/reaction pieces; promote written content across platforms and link back to the site when relevant.
• Social & Audience Engagement: Manage daily publishing on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, X/Twitter, and Facebook; engage with fans in the comments, respond to reactions, and foster a true Cubs community.

Cross-collaborate with other FanSided MLB writers and creators. You’ll be creating and operating independently, but we’ll support you with editorial tools, promotion, and guidance. You’ll also be featured prominently across FanSided platforms if the content delivers.

• Are obsessed with Cubs baseball and love talking about it every day
• Are comfortable on camera and know how to bring energy, humor, and fan passion
• Have a creator’s mindset — fast, agile, and eager to build something big
• Can create multiple videos per day with a consistent tone and clear POV
• Are familiar with (or eager to learn) basic podcast hosting and posting
• Want to grow your following and help build a personality-led Cubs media brand

Contract Details

• This is a paid independent contractor role
• Monthly compensation will be negotiated based on experience and projected content output
• There is no minimum hour requirement — success is measured by output and audience growth
• Contractor will retain flexibility in how and when they produce content, within general cadence expectations

Ready To Join The Team?
