10 founding spots: Useable News free for 60 days

Useable News is a news desk for your WordPress site. Tell it the subjects you cover. On each run it finds what is trending, reads the original reporting, and publishes a sourced article in your voice, with an image, tags, social posts and an optional newsletter digest.

We are opening 10 spots on our Growth plan (normally $47 a month, up to 25 sites) free for 60 days. No card.

Who it’s built for

You’ll get the most from a founding spot if you run a site where fresh, timely posts matter and there’s never enough time to write them.

• Niche sites and blogs. Stay current on your topic every week, so readers and search engines have a reason to come back.
• Local and hyperlocal news. Cover more of what’s happening in your area without adding writers, with every story sourced to the original report.
• Agencies with client blogs. Keep up to 25 client sites posting, each in its own voice, from one desk.
• Newsletter writers. Turn the week’s news on your beat into a ready-to-send digest for Mailchimp, Kit or Beehiiv.

You stay the editor. Review each article before it goes out, or switch on auto-publish once you trust it. Founding members who care about what they publish give us the best feedback, and that’s who we’re looking for.

What we ask in return

1. Run it on a real site you own for at least 30 days.
2. A 15-minute feedback chat around day 14, on a call or by recorded video, your choice.
3. A short, honest review at day 30, good or bad, plus permission to share your numbers: articles published, time saved and pages indexed.

We only name your site if you want us to. Your free 60 days do not depend on what you say. Any review we share will note that you received free access as a founding user.
