I Need A Blogger, Blogger, Blogger That's What I Need...
...Hey Hey... To borrow and then slightly reword a line from Aloe Blacc, I need a blogger (or multiple bloggers). Specifically, I need people who can approach and write about music kind of the way I do so that I can focus on other things to build the site/brand. The same goes for people to write about fashion. Now, it seems simple enough, but it's tough to find good writers who want to work for a burgeoning music and culture site. I've found it tough, and beyond Ashydakid and Kevin Fairbanks (and Jeff), who supplied many months of good blogging/writing, it's been slim pickings for bloggers over here. I realize that part of the issue is that writing takes up most of my time, so that going through resumes and other things to find writers sometimes gets lost in the shuffle and it becomes a cycle that repeats itself. But... no more. I'm making it my mission to add 3-5 bloggers for RubyHornet by the end of the month, and I thought where better to start than we the people that come to the site everyday?
If you're interested in being forwarded emails containing new tracks, being sent links of other posts to reposts, and doing interviews on short notice with artists you may or may not have heard of please email me directly at Alex@RubyHornet.com. Please title the email "I'm your blogger" and just tell me a little bit about yourself and why you'd like to blog for us. I'll do the rest. Please help us help ourselves... And it's a great way to spend a summer vacation!
