How PressHop works?
See it. Snap it. Sell it - simple!
Capture the moments that matter most — right from your smartphone — and turn them into cash with PressHop. Whether it’s a celebrity sighting, a breaking news moment, or something the world needs to know, snap it, upload it securely, and sell it directly to the press.
With hundreds of registered publications constantly on the hunt for fresh, newsworthy content, your photos, videos, and scans could be tomorrow’s headlines — and earn you a handsome reward. Once uploaded, your content appears instantly on our marketplace, ready for major publications to pick it up — fast, simple, and secure.
Want to maximise your earnings? Here’s a tip: keep your content exclusive to PressHop. Avoid the temptation to post it elsewhere — exclusivity drives demand, bigger payouts, and maximum impact. Why just post it when you can profit from it?
Sell pics directly to the press - your story could be worth thousands
Selling your content on PressHop couldn’t be easier.
Snap a photo, record a video, or scan a document — upload it straight through the app — and once it’s verified, your content is posted on our marketplace, ready for major publications to view and buy.
You’re in control of how you sell. You can share your content with multiple publications at a lower price and get paid every time it's used by different outlets, or sell your content exclusively to a single publication for a significantly higher fee. Choose the strategy that works for you and turn real moments into real money.
* (a) No nudity, content involving children, or deepfake material is permitted on our platform. (b) Only content captured in public spaces is allowed. Private content that infringes upon GDPR regulations is strictly prohibited from being traded on our platform. (c) All uploaded content undergoes a rigorous 3-level verification process to ensure authenticity. Only content that meets our strict guidelines will be published on PressHop.
