Looking for experienced bloggers/social networkers





We are a new network about to launch sometime in October looking for experienced bloggers and social networkers to fill each position in the following hot topics:

- Celebrities and Entertainment (TV, Movie, Theater)
- Sports
- Music
- Fashion
- Political/Influential Leaders

We are looking for experienced bloggers who will share relevant stories and experiences in the topic that they are passionate about.

What kind of bloggers are we looking for?
- Credible, passionate and knowledgeable bloggers who write witty and engaging content.
- Bloggers who are not only local insiders and influencers themselves but who also have contacts and networks that provide reliable intelligence on category-specific topics
- Bloggers who know the who’s who (ie the most popular celebrities or hottest personalities) in the topic they’re covering. For example, if you are the blogger covering sports topic and you’ve never heard of Rafael Nadal then perhaps this is not the right job for you.
- Bloggers who actively engage within their online communities and promote the content they write.

Requirements
- Passion for the topic! This is key for us. You are expected to engage with readers who share the same passion for the topic you’re covering. We expect you to be able to actively engage with them.
- 40 witty and engaging posts per month at 50-70 words for each post
- Encourage the network’s community to share their stories and promote interaction among and between members
- Must have active social networking profiles in Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr, etc
- Must know the techniques to promote content on other sites
- Technically savvy (able to learn and utilize web/publishing tools)
- Bloggers must be located in the US.

Payment:
We will negotiate with the blogger on the payment. To give you an idea on the model we are thinking of: First 2 months will be a fee of $10/post per month (negotiable). After which, we will switch to a mixed model of base pay + revenue share + incentives.

How to apply

Please send a brief profile about yourself that includes:
- how long you’ve been blogging, your relevant work experience (tell us things about yourself that would make you stand out from others)
- 3 blog posts (can be currently published somewhere) that you have written relevant to the topic you're applying for
- Links to online communities you belong to
- Links to sample posts and past and current blogs
- Links to your social networking profiles
- Online publishing platforms that you have used (ie Wordpress, Blogger, TypePad, etc)
- Let us know the topic you’re applying for and who your favorite personalities are (if you’re applying for Fashion, please let us know which fashion designers and models you are a fan of and why you like them)
- Show us your passion for the topic you’re applying for (eg if you’re applying for the music topic, which type of music do you like? Do you attend concerts? Which gigs would you not miss for the world?). Tell us anything that would make us go ‘yeah, this person really knows his/her topic and is passionate!’
- We will only accept one topic selection per blogger. If you are passionate for both music and fashion, choose the one you like most to cover and apply with that topic in mind.

Send your applications to mrsgooding@gmail.com

Application Period:
We will accept applications from now till 25 September, Friday.

We will acknowledge each application sent. If you don’t receive an acknowledgement, please feel free to follow us up in the email provided.
