I am simply looking to network with other bloggers/news sites and see if it would make sense to write for each other, share content between us, and such.
Then you probably want to look at how Steemit (and later Hive) did it, you generally keep writing your content but within your group/network just make sure you share your power around and grow together until you're all able to promote your own posts.
Not my advice, just how it's done. I really don't like spamming content if it's not relevant.
Alternatively, if you really feel you're a good writer and have unique perspectives, I'd go for Hackernoon, and if you get 10 or more published or have a good rate of 90% approval, then you network from within. Doesn't give you crypto really like steemit did but exposure.
