    All articles are already formatted, fact-checked, and tailored to your outlet’s style. Just review, tweak if you like, and publish.

  • Editorial Control

    You stay in charge. Accept only the stories you want, lightly edit to fit your tone, and maintain your publication’s voice.

    No signup fee, no subscription, no obligation to publish every submission. Take what works for your audience, skip the rest.

How it Works

  • 1. Set up your outlet

    Create a free publisher account and list your outlet on Real Big Deal. Add your logo, a short description, choose the topics you accept, and set your publishing price (e.g. $100/article). You control your presence and pricing.

  • 2. Get Chosen by Users

    When users create an article in RBD, they can select your outlet as their preferred destination. Your outlet appears in the publishing menu based on price, category, or relevance. You’re not matched randomly — users come to you.

  • 3. Review the Article

    All articles are pre-moderated by RBD using AI to ensure they’re professionally written, brand-safe, and appropriate. Most publishers choose to publish them as-is. If you need to, you can make light edits to the headline, intro, or structure.

  • 4. Submit Your Edits

    If you made edits, submit your version back through the platform. The user will review and approve the final article before it goes live. No major rewrites are allowed — just quick, tasteful adjustments to better match your outlet’s tone.

  • 5. Publish and Get Paid

    Once the user approves the article, it’s published to your site. RBD automatically handles the transaction and pays you 70% of the article fee. You keep full editorial control — and gain a new stream of revenue.

Journalist Voice — Keep Your Signature Style, Gain the Speed of AI

Why it Matters

Every journalist writes in his or her own way. They each have their own sound — the pacing, vocabulary, and rhythm that makes their work instantly recognizable to readers. Your audience comes back because of that voice, and your editorial credibility is built on it.

But here’s the challenge: traditional editorial processes are slow, resource-heavy, and expensive. AI can speed things up, but most AI-generated content feels generic — it doesn’t carry your tone, your nuance, or your hard-earned style.

With Journalist Voice, each journalist on your staff can upload their prior work. Our AI studies their language patterns, sentence structure, and stylistic quirks — so every article you receive through RBD comes pre-written in that author’s voice, perfectly designed for your publication.

 FAQs

  • No — you only publish what fits your brand and audience. Users choose your outlet, but you have full control to accept or pass on any submission.

  • Yes, but only lightly. Articles are pre-reviewed by RBD’s AI moderation system for professionalism, tone, and appropriateness. Most are ready to publish as-is. You can adjust headlines, intros, or formatting if needed — but full rewrites are not permitted.

  • Yes. If you make edits, the user must approve the final version before publication. Nothing goes live or gets paid out until both sides approve.

  • You set your own price, typically between $49–$199. RBD adds a platform fee, and you keep 70% of the final amount paid by the user.

  • Payments are handled automatically through the RBD platform. Once an article is approved and published, your payout is processed — no invoicing or manual setup required.

  • Yes. You choose how articles appear on your site — e.g., “Partner Spotlight,” “Contributor Feature,” or any label that suits your brand. You maintain editorial integrity and reader trust.

  • No. You can use RBD’s simple publisher portal to manage everything. If you want to automate, we also offer API access — but it’s entirely optional.

  • No. Publish as many or as few articles as you like. There’s no commitment, no lock-in, and no penalty for inactivity.

  • Articles come from real companies, startups, and creators using RBD to promote launches, products, milestones, or ideas. They’re not press releases — they’re written in a story-driven, journalistic style, optimized for SEO and readability.

  • Not at all. With RBD’s Journalist Voice Training, the AI writes in your publication’s exact style — learned from samples of your previous work. This means you keep full editorial identity while gaining the speed and scalability of AI-assisted workflows. You’ll still have the option to make final edits before publishing.

  • We ask you to upload a set of prior articles from your chosen journalist(s) or columnists. Our AI analyzes sentence structure, word choice, pacing, and tone to build a unique “voice profile.” Every new article you receive will be drafted in that trained voice, so it reads like it came straight from your own newsroom — without heavy rewrites.

  • No — the feature is completely optional. RBD already produces high-quality, publish-ready articles without voice training. Journalist Voice is for publishers and journalists who want extra precision and control over tone, style, and phrasing.

  • Journalist Voice is author-specific, not publication-wide. If your publication has five journalists, you can train five distinct voices — each with their own style — so every piece reads like it came directly from its assigned writer.

  • Your trained voice profile is not retained if you leave. While published articles remain live where they were placed, your voice data will no longer be used to generate new content. We do not repurpose or resell your voice profile for other publishers.

  • No. Once your voice profile is built, the training data is not stored in a way that can be reused by other accounts. It exists only in your active RBD profile and is deleted if you leave the platform.

  • We recommend 5–10 well-written articles from the same author to establish a strong voice profile. More samples generally produce even more precise results.

  • Yes. Each publication can multiple journalists, each with their own unique journalist voices in the same account, so long as each one has enough sample material. This makes it possible to preserve unique styles across different beats, columns, or sections of your publication.
