Blogger Network Personality Position – Help Build The Next Great Blog
Daily Kos. Huffington Post. These are but two examples of great blogs. But the Huffington Post has 800 unpaid bloggers! Of course, you want to get paid, so that’s not for you. It’s not for us either.
This five-year old Internet startup has a 40-blog network (and counting). Of these, it seeks to take six of its already popular flagship blogs and build a team of bloggers around them. Here are the blogs and the kind of writers we’re looking for:
1) The first blog covers news, politics, pop culture, and tech. We seek to build a team of 10 bloggers for this online publication. The compensation rule is a simple one: the more you write, the more content there is, which draws traffic, which forms the basis for ad revenue, from which payments are distributed. The politics of the blog are to the left, so we seek liberal bloggers. For this, blog, we seek bloggers who live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and will give preference to journalism students. We also encourage bloggers who know how to look up videos on sites like YouTube and Revver and post them to a blog.
2) The second blog covers East Bay issues and has the same compensation rule as above. We seek bloggers who live in the San Francisco Bay Area, but will give preference to bloggers living in the East Bay and who are journalism students. We also encourage bloggers who know how to look up videos on sites like YouTube and Revver and post them to a blog.
3) The third blog covers celebrities and Hollywood gossip. If you’ve ever wanted to dish the dirt, this is the blog to do it in. If you’ve seen a celeb out locally, blog it. We also encourage bloggers who know how to look up videos on sites like YouTube and Revver and post them to a blog.
4) The fourth blog covers the NFL. So if you want to write about the upcoming NFL Draft, or any aspect of pro football, or the Raiders and 49ers, this is the place to be. Here too, we seek San Francisco Bay Area-based bloggers and give preference to journalism students.
5) The fifth blog covers the MLB – Major League Baseball. So if you want to write about the upcoming season, or any aspect of baseball, or the A’s and The San Francisco Giants, this is the place to be. Here too, we seek San Francisco Bay Area-based bloggers and give preference to journalism students.
6) The sixth blog is about women’s bodybuilding and has two companion sites on fitness and women. As well as above, we seek San Francisco Bay Area-based bloggers and give preference to journalism students.
The blogging teams will be called on and compensated for assisting in the firm’s online marketing consulting efforts on an “as need basis”, as well. This is where we help clients improve their Internet visibility and “get out a message.”
Each blogger selected to join our team will have their photo on our blog and be the focus of a PR campaign to announce them. As compensation is based on blog traffic, we ask that each blogger contribute as often as possible. We need to build traffic first, before we can pay anyone – the more bloggers and blogs we have, the less time that takes to happen. (We do have a 25 paid-blogger limit, however.)
The reason for a team of bloggers, is so that each individual blogger has to do less work to build content and traffic. The team essentially is as strong and as valuable as the least productive blogger. If the team votes to do so, or management decides that it’s best, that blogger can be replaced.
Finally, each blogger can bring an unpaid “friend” to help that person. That person would essentially work for that blogger as “assistant contributor” – the blogger and the assistant contributor can work out their own compensation agreement.
The position will be part time, telecommuting, and contract.
Please respond with a cover letter in the body of the email, and a resume attached to it. Thanks.
