i'm an editor and chief of a website.
maybe you've seen my post in randumb online forums. maybe you've gone to the website through this blog and found it to be amusing for that time being. maybe it would be the coolest if you can take your blog talents and write a little excerpt about a chicago event that gets posted on a major Chicago website (like metromix, centerstage, or citysearch). this is what i'm sharin with y'all now....
Chicago Hotlist is a website starting out. it's parent company, 1938 Media, funds the website. What Chicago Hotlist needs are some dedicated writers. Not necessarily Mike Royko (...look him up) articles or indepth analysis about Chicago affairs, but quick, quirky little plugs about events, restaurants, and bars. in order to get the money rollin, we need to utilize the website to attract owners of small businesses that don't have websites. SO, yes...we market. we go out and talk to Owner Bob of Bob's Hardware or Owner Lisa of Lisa's Hot Sex Toys. we tell'em about Chicago Hotlist and how 1938 Media can give'em the internet capabilities that they're lookin for. Owner Bob and Owner Lisa jump on the chance to gain more customers and throw loot to 1938 Media. THEN 1938 Media does it's magic and then throws us loot for our kick butt marketing.
HOWEVER, before we get to that point. Chicago Hotlist needs writers. It's like posting up on a blog but about Chicago things. You can give commentaries, plugs for your friends performing at the ImprovOlympic, or a concert you're gonna hit up at the All State Arena. It'll probably take ya a small amount of time. And then you gotta go market (with me getting my hands as dirty as well, BUT NOT micromanaging....i trust ya...). It's the dedication part that may be difficult. You'll get your recognition on the website too. (my idea for writers is for each contributor to have a blog for your none chicago stuff to be on chicagohotlist...and if you already do, then here's more traffic coming your way...)
SO...as i draw a line on the ground...who's interested??
