Computer Website in need of CREW!!!

[mjcason]

Hi everyone.
I’m interested in joining up with a few very talented, bright, creative individuals that can lend there time and effort towards a project I’m putting together.
It’s a Hardware Review/Guide Website.
Now before you contact me consider this:

-I would expect a sample Guide/How-To or Review to evaluate your writing style/ technique.
-You/I will not be getting free Hardware "right away" hopefully by the end of summer we will be in that position.
-Must be online at least 4-8 hours a day to provide the front page with up to date and accurate news.
-Expected to produce no less than 1 article/review/guide per month.
-Age doesn't matter as long as you’re mature and intelligent.
-Has time and effort to put into something like this, the more we put in the more others get out, and so do we.
-I’m not doing this for free things. I simply like this type of venture and am looking for others in the same boat as me. (this would be my second review site)

With all that in mind please email/or PM (email preferred) me to inquire. Take your time with the writing sample because it is important in my decision. If you’d like to be dedicated news poster, just specify that and I’ll think about it.

please email me at: mike 'AT' opaqueband 'DOT' net
----- ONCE AGAIN SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY -----

Thanks.

Sounds like you've got some good stuff going on there. I'll have to check my schedule and see what I can do.

Good luck though! :)

Out of curiousity...what was your first site? For about the past year or two solid I've been running at least 8 hours a day online every day (when my computer hasn't blown up on me), and with all the reading and browsing I do, I might have come across it.

We have no sponsors, were not getting any hardware, but its only logical that after the sites got some content and is holding its own that I will attempt to got 3-4 sponsors just to even out the bandwidth cost.

But this is not some attempt to get rich at all. TRUST ME its not that easy.

What's wrong with that? I'm tired of having to pay for everything. I want my free stuff.

I may just look into this...

I may just look into this... You will not be getting any "free stuff"! the merchandise that you are reviewing you will get to keep and that will be your payment. It is just the same as you working for your dad, and then using the money he pays you to buy a piece of hardware. There is no such thing as free stuff! Everything costs. This deal just costs your time just like an ordinary job does. The only difference is, that with this job you do not have a choice of what you get. You get paid with the hardware you are reviewing.

Yeah, I know. I was making a joke - thephenom sounded like he was upset that this website the guy wants to do would be getting free stuff, and I was just saying I want free stuff... You know... Just making a joke.

There has been a cease and desist order put on my sense of humor. Sorry about the mess. :surrender

I'm interested in becomming a part of your site....

My qualitfications:

I'm currently a 19 yr old high school student, and I do spend a lot of time online. I've been fascinated with computers for a very very long time now... Sad to say... but I used to garbage pick old computers and tinker with them all the time... Also I'm currently in a Cisco course for my CCNA, Oracle course for my Orcale9i certification, and will also have my A+ certification by the time I graduate. I'm also addicted to TechTV... I can't get enough of that channel!!! Anyways I will email you to let you know I'm interested.

EDIT: I also plan on being IT certified by the time I'm 21-22ish.
