Hey there,
We are a web start-up, focused on user-generated content, with elements of social networking and a whole lot of cutting-edge technology. We launched as a public beta in August and some of our current writers have had their content seen by more than 20,000 people already.
It's a community site, so we are currently looking for Digital Interns to create content on our public beta to get some of our key features working. Good writers, bloggers, or people familiar with witty - or just plain informative - internet writing are a must. If you’re willing to get your hands dirty learning the ins and outs of launching a successful website, then we encourage you to apply. If you want to get great visibility for your blog, site or just for yourself as a writer, then this is the bandwagon to jump on.
The Job:
- Creating enjoyable, new, and exciting content on our new platform and interacting with existing users exhaustively.
- Creating content that matters to you, being creative, and adding to existing content on the site.
- Promoting yours (and others') content across the web
- Providing Feedback on the ins and outs of the site itself.
- You would work from home, school, or wherever you'd like. This is a DIGITAL INTERNSHIP, so you would not be coming into an office (though if you live in the Los Angeles area we'd be happy to have you come by whenever), but you would be accountable for a certain amount of trackable work.
Requirements:
- You must be able to write a coherent sentence.
- Come up with extremely original and uncommon content ideas, as well as be able to add your own, learned, two cents on common and existing content.
- Defeat an army of the undead using only your dry humor and the chainsaw attached to your wrist.
- A working knowledge of pop culture - or if not pop culture, other passionate areas of interest (science, art, history, technology - our site is a treasure trove of interests).
- You must be available for at least 8-10 hours a week, spread out around your schedule. This is stuff you might be doing in your spare time anyway.
- You must be an active user of online social networks of all kinds (facebook, twitter, digg, blogs, etc).
- You must be extremely web and computer savvy, as some viral marketing may be requested of the right candidates.
- Must want to pursue writing/learn how to promote yourself and your writing on the internet
- Must be an avid reader or fan of sites like listverse.com, cracked.com, or ivillage.com. Must love lists.
Rewards:
- The opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a groundbreaking new website started by an internet vet who sold a previous web business.
- We’re a growing company, so good interns could end up moving into paid positions down the line.
- We’ll also give you all the college credit your school will accept.
- Any recommendations you need to boost your resume.
- Your content, assuming it's good, will be featured prominently on our site and should get plenty of hits; so if you have any blogs, sites, or anything you want pushed, giving us great content can only benefit you.
Please respond to the craigslist email above with a cover letter and resume. Please include what social networks you are a regular part of and a list of your top five favorite [anything] to be considered.
