Hey there! In case you haven’t noticed, we’ve been gone for awhile.

Sorry about that.

The fact is, life gets in the way, interests shift, and blogging becomes, well, a chore. Which is too bad, because (if you’re still paying attention to this sector) there’s a ton of awesome stuff happening in the world of digital media creation and consumption. Really if you think about it, “digital media creation and consumption” sums up the biggest emerging technologies, corporations, and markets of the decade.

And it’s going to keep growing.

We want to continue to be on the forefront covering it. But we need a dedicated blogging team to do it. And that means reaching out to you, our readers.

The job description:

You: an enthusiastic individual interested in digital media, preferably with a history in creating it (everyone consumes it, that’s the easy part). Strong writer, strong analytical skills, independent, and full of ideas.

Us: a humble blog looking to be on the forefront of covering the media revolution, with a bent toward video and its creation (we’re certainly flexible though).

The particulars: payment is a cut of ad revenues. You’ll be effectively functioning as Editor-in-chief, so you have full reign over the site, so you can grow out the site however you feel appropriate. Don’t expect instant returns – the more time you spend on this (consistently) the better your results will be. Chris becomes Founding Editor, Joel becomes Editor Emeritus.

If you’re interested, email me (Chris) directly at hello (at) chrisvanpatten (dot) com. I’ll answer any questions you have, and discuss how we can make this worth it! If you have a resumé and writing samples, send those along too.

Thanks all for your continued support of YouMakeMedia!
