Wanted: Media Blogger to Discuss Corporate Websites

We got this email from Corporate Eye:

There are some very exciting things happening behind the scenes here at Corporate Eye. We’re soon going to be expanding the range and scale of our services, and are recruiting people to help us with this.

At the moment we’re looking for a blogger with an interest in corporate media relations, who can write about good examples of best practices in the media section of corporate websites, or about different ways of handling the media via the corporate website. We’re mostly interested in the major listed companies (FTSE100, FTSE250, S&P500, Eurotop300 etc) but if a smaller company is doing something interesting in their Media section, we’d like you to write about it.

We’ll be looking for 2-3 posts per week, each of 500-800 words, and plan to pay US$20/£10 per post, monthly by PayPal. We’ll also post a mini-bio with a link to your own site if appropriate (we need to be sure our links out are work-appropriate because of our audience).

Each post should fall into one of the following categories:

* discussion of tools or techniques used by companies,
* comparison of how different companies handle media relations on the internet
* discussion of the issues faced by companies with respect to media relations on their sites.

If you have ideas for other material, we’d be pleased to hear them.

Each post should contain a link to the site under discussion, and at least one image, ideally a screenshot of a relevant page on that corporate site. We like to use Snag-It for this, but this would be up to you. In case it matters to you: we use WordPress.

To apply, please tell us why you think you’d be an ideal candidate for this; send us links to previous work; and an on-topic sample post if your previous work doesn’t cover that area. If your sample post is suitable, we’ll post it - and pay for it - whether or not your application is successful.

If this role interests you, do get in touch via jobs@corporate-eye.com.

Danielle Cegielski

Hi, I am interested in a possible blogging job. I’d like to think that I have a broad knowledge base. If it helps, I have a degree in nursing. Hi, my name is Dani and I’m a blogger (sounds like an AA meeting). Anyway, I’m a mom of 6 kids, a wife of a cop, and a professional nurse by nights (I work 11-7). Oh, wait a minute, I sound like super man here..My website reflects all of the above.

I love to write, actually I have always wanted to be a writer as a child, but went the nursing route instead. I believe I have a lot to offer ( like a crazy personality ), and am a very motivated individual..Thanks so much !!!

Jennifer Eckert

For the past 6½ years, I’ve been a freelance writer. I have written articles and blog posts covering a variety of subjects, ads, text for websites, product reviews, website reviews, press releases, and business letters and emails.

All of my writing is creative, unique, and custom to each client. I do not “borrow” text from other writers or resources, nor do I recycle text amongst clients.

I have a background in dentistry, which led to the creation of my dental blog called Dental Health Blog. ( http://www.dentalhealthblog.com ) My blog includes many educational posts, as well as some product reviews, interesting stories, and current events and trends in the world of dentistry.

Since I am a first time cat owner, I decided to create a blog about my cat and topics related to cats in general. MyCrazyCat.com, is fun with a mix of education thrown in. One day, I may be talking about some mischief my cat managed to get herself into. The next day, I may post an article discussing something related to nutrition and overall health of a cat. (http://www.mycrazycat.com )

The above two blogs are just a brief example of my writing. More examples of my work can be provided upon request.

If you are in need of an experienced writer, I look forward to hearing from you!
