WHY JOIN APCN
TWO WAYS TO CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITY.
APCN is built around a simple idea: concentrate on the work you are good at while the network helps with the parts you do not want to do alone.
PAID CLIENT OPPORTUNITIES
When AP receives a suitable automotive media project in your area, qualified network members may be offered the assignment based on location, experience, availability, and project needs.
Client assignments, publication, views, monetization, and earnings are never guaranteed.
ONE NETWORK. TWO CREATIVE ROLES.
CAPTURE OR EDIT.
You do not need to be a one-person production company. Start in the role that best matches your skills.
CONTENT CREATOR
Capture cars, motorcycles, roads, events, builds, people, and automotive culture where you live and travel.
EDITOR
Turn accepted footage into polished, platform-ready stories using AP’s editorial direction and production workflow.
WHAT AP HANDLES
THE INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND THE WORK.
AP coordinates review, editing, publishing, distribution, sponsor administration, analytics, monetization operations, and client project routing.
BUILDING A NATIONWIDE CREATOR NETWORK
OUR GOAL: 50 STATES. EVERY CORNER OF AUTOMOTIVE CULTURE.

30%CONTENT CREATOR
Default share of qualifying Net Content Proceeds for the content creator assigned to the production.
30%EDITOR
Default share of qualifying Net Content Proceeds for the editor assigned to the production.
These percentages apply to qualifying AP channel content unless different terms are disclosed before publication. Commercial client assignments may use separate compensation disclosed before the member accepts the job. Publication, views, monetization timing, and earnings are not guaranteed.
POWER OF NUMBERS
MORE CREATORS. MORE CONTENT. MORE CONSISTENCY.
AP’s first channel goal is consistent short-form and long-form publishing that can work toward platform monetization thresholds.
A coordinated network can potentially build that volume and consistency faster than everyone trying to build separate channels alone.
There are no guarantees. Monetization remains subject to each platform’s eligibility requirements, review, policies, and audience response.
- No routine quotasCreate when it fits your schedule; accepted assignments may carry their own deadlines.
- Your channel share locks inOnce qualifying content is published with its percentages established, those percentages are locked for that product.
- Distribution where it makes senseAP can publish and repurpose media across appropriate channels and AP properties based on the content and opportunity.
