Volunteers Wanted

Hey DIYers,

DIY Bride is growing my leaps and bounds this year and I again need your help! I’m looking to add 2 more volunteers to help round out the DIY Bride crew.

What’s in it for you:
You’ll 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.
These positions are unpaid though I’m looking at ways to pass along perks and goodies
for a job well done.

Commitment:
I ask that selected applicants make a commitment of 5 hours per week
for a duration of 6 months.

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 CC will also work closely with the editorial team to help create content for the site.

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

About The Editorial Coordinator

The ed co position will be my go-to dudette or dude 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, taking on
repetitive and boring tasks that I don’t want to worry about, and doing some
research.
