DIY Bride Internship Openings

Posted by Khris in DIYBride News, Opportunties

Hey DIYers,

DIY Bride is growing my leaps and bounds this year and I need your help!  I’m looking for a couple of swell new interns to assist with the everyday operations of the diybride.com site. There are two internship positions up for grabs: community crusader and editorial coordinator.

Both positions are unpaid BUT there is an opportunity to earn commissions on any advertising you bring to DIYBride.com. You’ll also be getting hands-on experience in the behind-the-scenes operations of a thriving online community and blog, mentoring in the weddings and crafts industries, and a chance to develop your writing, internet, and marketing skills.

I ask that interns make a commitment of 5 hours per week for a duration of 6 months.

About The Community Crusader

This internship puts you directly in contact with the DIY Bride forum members. As the Community Crusader you’re the spot person for moderating posts, helping members with basic wedding and forum queries, and engaging the members in conversation through posting fun and helpful topics.

The ideal candidate will have:

• experience participating in online forums
• knowledge of basic netiquette
• experience with wedding planning
• a dazzling personality: diplomatic, charming, engaging, fun, and super nice
• great writing skills
• hands-on experience with crafting

About The Editorial Coordinator

The ed co intern will be my go-to girl (or guy) for the DIY Bride blog. This position is responsible for posting content on the DIY Bride blog (mine, user submissions, and possibly your own), answering user comments, and doing some research.

The ideal candidate will have:

• excellent writing skills
• basic knowledge of html (experience with WordPress is a plus)
• a dazzling personality: diplomatic, charming, engaging, fun, and super nice
• a keen eye for detail
• a genuine interest in weddings, wedding planning, crafts, and blogging
• superb googling skills

To Apply

If either position catches your fancy, please email me at khris at diybride dot com with the subject line “diybride internship application”.

In the body of your email, please include:

• which position you’re applying for
• your experience with writing, blogging, html, online communities
• are you married or currently planning a wedding
• any applicable training or skills
• what craft experience or expertise you have
