admin Site Manager Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 We are looking to put together a complete blue jays site that will be complete with regular blog posts/articles. I'm looking for 2-3 guys who would like to write regularly. I have one on board, possibly two. I'd like to have atleast two or three regular writers. I want articles to be posted regularly, and really want it to be professionally done. It's a big commitment. I have set up blogs for other people in different niches, they start off writing all the time, and it slowly tails off. So if you'd like to write, please consider the future and know it's going to be a long term thing. Baseball is a little easier, as there is something new you can write about daily, but it is still a big commitment. I'm not looking for, or expecting the site to make a lot of money, so I'm looking for someone who wants to write for the passion of writing, and for the Jays. The money the site does make, you will be paid for your share, which will be determined by how often you write, and quality of the work. ie, if someone writes once a week but it's well researched and obviously took a long time to write it, they will be compensated fairly. You'll have to keep in touch with the other authors to make sure you guys don't overlap. Looking for writers to cover: - Prospects and Minors. Basically anything happening in the minors. Someone on a hot streak, someone promoted, someone standing out, etc. - Blue Jays articles. Articles on the Jays, their play, players, etc. ie "Here is why Goins can stick at the Major League level." - Around baseball news. Anything news worth related to baseball. Bad call that ended the game. Someone busted for steroids. Someone arrested etc. - Blue Jays rumors. Breaking news that's posted as soon as it's heard. Our guys are usually ahead of MLBTR, it would be great if we could get it in article form, and live on the site. You dont' have to be locked into one area, but these are the four areas I think we'd need covered. Please send me a PM if you are interested. WRITER UPDATE We have three set. The three of them I've had discussions with, know their style, seen their style,etc. I have four more that have messaged. And I will take 1-2 of them. I will contact you guys shortly. THanks for all the interest, great to know so many guys are interested.
sdyment Verified Member Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Love that you're expanding this site. I honestly can't remember when I last checked in at the old site, but I do know that I deleted my shortcut for it long ago. Well done on creating a successful alternative for fans with only one personality!!
admin Site Manager Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 Same, I deleted it from my bookmarks too. We now have three great writers commited, one of which will be part time. I wouldn't mind 1-2 more. Someone that could report news/rumors as they happen, less research, just more conssitent. Need to be a good writer. I'd do it, but I'm a terrible writer.
Ziggyy108 Verified Member Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I would be extremely intrested in this.
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I would be extremely intrested in this. But you have to be able to spell to be a writer, so that pretty much rules you out.
Ziggyy108 Verified Member Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Haha so true. Won't happen again!

TBJ12 Verified Member Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Great news. I'm curious, who's going to be writing? Hopefully the writers are ready for the backlash from casual fans, I get the feeling their not going to like everything they see here.
Dylan Old-Timey Member Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Maybe you can convince that guy from jays country? I always enjoyed the layout and creativity of his site. The activity was just never there.
GD Old-Timey Member Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Maybe you can convince that guy from jays country? Iirc he kinda f***in' hates us haha
admin Site Manager Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah, he has too much anger, I don't think anything would ever work. A member also told me he promised to pay him for writing, and never did. That's not the type of person I'd want to work with. WRITER UPDATE We have three set. The three of them I've had discussions with, know their style, seen their style,etc. I have four more that have messaged. And I will take 1-2 of them. I will contact you guys shortly. THanks for all the interest, great to know so many guys are interested.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Sent you a pm mr. admin sir
admin Site Manager Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 Thanks for the interest. We now have our full list of writers. We may be adding one more, I'm discussing it with the current writers and we're going to decide together. Thanks again everyone!
