What is Soccer Creator Club?
The community built for independent soccer creators in the US by one of your own.
What Is Soccer Creator Club?
Soccer Creator Club is a community for independent soccer content creators in the United States — writers, podcasters, social media builders, and reporters who are figuring it out without the backing of a media company.
Whether you're growing a podcast, building a newsletter, or trying to turn your passion for the beautiful game into something sustainable, this is the space where you'll find the tools, ideas, and people to help you do it.
Why This Exists
Soccer Creator Club was founded by Noah Riffe, creator of the MLS and Seattle Sounders FC podcast and media brand Lobbing Scorchers. After years navigating the independent soccer media landscape, chasing sponsorships, building audiences, wrestling with platforms, and trying to get anyone inside MLS to actually pick up the phone, Noah learned one thing clearly:
Independent soccer creators in the US need each other.
There's no blueprint for this. There's no playbook for monetizing a regional soccer podcast, no guide to getting your newsletter noticed by local fans, no high quality forum where someone has already solved the exact niche problem you're stuck on right now. So Noah built one.
What You'll Get Inside
Soccer Creator Club is currently home to a Discord community and a newsletter. deliberately simple, deliberately human. Inside, you'll find:
- Monetization strategies — sponsorship structures, affiliate plays, paid communities, and what's actually working right now in the American soccer market.
- Collaboration — recruit, meet and work with other creators to grow your audience and create engaging conversations around American soccer.
- Brand building — audience growth, production quality, booking guests, and standing out in a crowded feed.
- Audience development — how to find your niche, own your corner of US soccer, and build a loyal following.
- Problem-solving with peers — bring your real challenges to people who get it.
- Inside access — connections and insights from within US soccer leagues themselves.
Who This Is For
You're in the right place if you create soccer content independently in the United States and you're serious about growing — even if "serious" right now means doing it from your spare bedroom at midnight.
Podcasters. Newsletter writers. YouTube creators. Social media voices. Local soccer reporters. Aspiring beat writers. All of it.
