Writers and Columnists Wanted
Posted On 04/29/2008 16:23:25 by administrator
Yolisto is now actively seeking talented writers and authors for regular contributions or columns for this website and its readers. Do you have a passion or hobby that you love, including cooking, model rocketry, or gardening? We want to hear about how you've adapted your hobby from "back home" to fit with your new life here in Yucatan. Are you a night owl, constanly sniffing out new hotspots in Merida or Progreso? We want to hear your reviews and thoughts. Are you in the middle of rennovating or building a home, and feel like documenting your experience? Others want to hear from you, too. Are you a master of technology, and interested in helping newcomers navigate the Yucatan's truly confusing technological landscape? A recurring column on Yolisto is perfect for you. Above all, we want to hear what YOU think would be appropriate for a weekly column, and if it makes sense...we'll do it!

Now, about compensation. Of course, all members are welcome to post any bits of content they'd like, at any time. It's part of what makes the Yolisto world go round. But for our featured columnists, we would like to offer some type of compensation for your time and troubles. This will be different for each writer, and depends largely on the type of column you would be interested in writing, but in general, we can offer the following, ranked in order from least to most real-world value:
  1. Your chest will swell with pride at having been chosen to be a featured columnist on Yolisto, the single greatest website the world has ever seen.
  2. Each article you submit will carry a short, 2-3 sentence biography of you, the author, where you are free to link to personal projects and increase exposure for those projects.
  3. If you have an offline business, or other website, we can discuss free banner advertising placement on Yolisto.
  4. We will even consider honest-to-goodness cash payment for dedicated columists. Please remember, though, that for now, this will be purely a bonus, and certainly not enough money for you to earn a living.
If you're interested, leave a comment, and I will contact you via PM to work out further details. Thanks for your interest!

Hey, Malcom, here's an idea. How about periodic short (or long) stories about expats living here at the beach? Mini-features so to speak with photos. I know every time I meet someone I have a million questions...Why here? What did you do before moving to Mexico? Is it all you thought it would be? Better? Worse? What has surprised you most?


 


You get the idea. I would love to write these. I have 25 years experience as a  journalist for newspapers in Calif. and Nevada, and have won dozens of awards (that makes my chest swell with pride just saying it).


 


Let me know if you like the idea. I would not want to venture into Merida, just focus on our little beach community.
