We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

Online auction platforms offer a straightforward way to make money by selling products. These websites provide a built-in audience, reducing the need for independent marketing efforts. Success in this space requires selecting the right products and presenting them attractively to potential buyers. With a well-chosen inventory and strategic pricing, sellers can generate a steady income with minimal upfront costs.
Another profitable option is running an independent e-commerce website. Unlike online auction sites, this approach eliminates third-party fees but requires business owners to manage their own marketing and drive traffic to their store. Success in e-commerce depends on effective promotion and offering products that appeal to a targeted audience. Those willing to invest time in learning digital marketing strategies can see significant financial rewards.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Affiliate marketing provides another avenue for making money online, allowing individuals to earn commissions by promoting products from other companies. This model eliminates the need to create or store inventory, making it an attractive option for those skilled in digital marketing and content creation. By strategically placing affiliate links on websites, blogs, or social media, marketers can generate passive income through referral sales.
Selling information products is another lucrative option. Individuals with specialized knowledge or expertise can create and sell digital products such as e-books, online courses, or instructional guides. As demand for online education continues to grow, those who can package valuable insights into marketable formats can generate substantial income.
Lastly, web design remains a high-demand field for those with technical skills. Businesses, entrepreneurs, and content creators frequently seek professional-looking websites, creating an ongoing demand for skilled web designers. Offering services such as site development, customization, and maintenance can be a profitable way to leverage technical expertise into a sustainable online business.
