Questions, answered

Before you sign up

The short version of the questions we hear most. See the full FAQs for more, or take the quick quiz to see if Zinery fits your blog.

What is Zinery?

Zinery is an all-in-one platform built specifically for music blogs and their contributors. It consists of two core components. 1. The Contributor Hub (available now – 100% free): get a custom link (yourname.zinery.co) where writers and photographers can request coverage for shows, festivals, interviews, and reviews. Review, approve, and track all team assignments in one central dashboard instead of digging through scattered DMs and spreadsheets. 2. The Music Blog Publishing Tool (Coming Soon): publish and feature your team’s finished coverage directly on the same hub, keeping your whole workflow in one place.

How much does Zinery cost?

The Contributor Hub plan is free to start, with no credit card required. It includes contributor management, request approvals, a shared calendar, photo pass tracking, and a contacts directory at no cost. The publishing side will be an optional paid plan once it ships, integrated with your existing Contributor Hub account rather than a separate signup.

Do I need a domain?

No, you don't. Your hub and blog automatically runs on yourname.zinery.co. If you prefer to connect your domain you can do so (coming soon).

Does Zinery replace the blog or CMS we already publish on?

Not necessarily. The Contributor Hub is built to organize your team's requests, approvals, and coverage pipeline – it works alongside whatever you already publish on, rather than requiring you to move your blog. Once the publishing tool ships, you'll have the option to publish there instead, but nothing about the Hub requires it.
