<![CDATA[I've recently completed a 90,000 word book. It is a great story, but I'm not a professional writer. I need an editor to proof the book so its ready to send to literary agents. Furthermore, I'm open to additional suggestions and ideas to make the book successful (ie. Ghost Writer). The content of the story is sensational, however, I could offer more narrative about places and things. The story is about my younger sister that is a heroin addict. A warrant out for her arrest, homeless and missing teeth, she comes to stay with me in San Diego for a year-and-a-half. As we all struggle to turn her life around, my sister recollects her childhood and when she first began taking drugs, all the way to her boyfriend shooting himself in the head. The story appears to be headed toward a happy ending, however, drug addicts rarely recover in life. Depending on experience I will negotiate the compensation.]]>

<![CDATA[ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDITOR'S NOTE: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a moment you're going to realize that THIS is one of the most awesome jobs to be advertised on Craigs, second only to that $100k/year video game tester job. (which I've been trying to get for like a year now) This "Administrative Assistant / Social Networking marketer" job starts as a non-pay internship (wait! keep reading!) then if you do good, you'll get hired on and will receive actual moolah. Important: During your internship, what you are going to learn is perhaps the most sought-after skills in Internet marketing....so you can just think of the non-pay internship as a free college education in "bleeding edge" marketing techniques. As a matter of fact, this stuff is not taught in schools, and it's pretty much closely guarded among the "Internet marketing gurus" who typically don't share it with the masses. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a very unique (and FUN!) job position. You will act as my Administrative Assistant, and, resident guru "Social Networking" marketer extroidonaire. When it comes to attaining good SERPs (search engine ranking positions) for a website, it's important to know that Google LOVES blogs, video and social networking. And that's where you come in. I'm looking for an energetic, gung-ho, amazing individual who is an awesome communicator and can create some real BUZZ for our websites, using the following methods: • Writing posts and comments on popular, high-traffic blogs, directing people to our sites • Writing posts and comments on popular, high-traffic forums, using a hotlinked e-signature • Optimizing your presence on Amazon.com • Utilizing social networking sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace) * Social bookmarking, trackbacks and all that stuff. • Google AdWords and other advertising sytems • Writing & submitting press releases • SEO link building (including obtaining high PR inbound links) is a plus • Website SEO (search engine optimization) is a plus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ • Excellent written and verbal skills • Excellent analytical skills * Awesome attention to detail * Excellent web skills • Ability to handle multiple high-priority projects simultaneously If you are not 100% versed at the marketing methods shown above, then you are welcome to get yourself up to speed, on your own time, by going thru a short home-study course on social networking marketing. (and you can keep the course!) Basically with this job you'll be creating buzz, doing viral marketing, and getting the word out (while at the same time increasing our SERPs) all by using social networking marketing. If you're one of those people that picks things up lightning fast and can do virtually anything, then you're a great candidate for this job. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Administrative Assistant Duties ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As my Administrative Assistant, you will be responsible for everything from opening the mail, to filing, to answering customer service emails, to sending the company Christmas cards. There isn't much to this part of the job, so most of your time and energy will be doing the social networking marketing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hours, Salary and Perks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a ft/pt position. After you complete your internship, you will start part-time, at a salary of $13.00/hour, and salary will go up from there after you prove yourself; if you're good, there's the possibility of going full time. And, with all coolness, I will get you virtually anything you need to do your job in a highly effective manner. If you need giagantic 20-foot high whiteboards with frog design borders, you got it. If you need an IKEA ergonomic Z-chair, or an air mouse, or seven sizes of post-it pads, or Egyptian servants fanning you and hand-feeding you grapes, or if you need a second computer or a bigger monitor, you got it. (okay, well maybe not the Cleopatra thing, but everything else is do-able) Some perks: • Great work environment • Large Desk and big PC monitor • Complimentary soda, energy drinks, snacks • Complimentary Starbucks coffee, iced coffee, Frappuccinos • Use of Breakroom, Fridge, Microwave • Easy access, close to Hwy-15 * Fun job! About that last point. We are a very small company, doing some very exciting stuff in the areas of Internet Marketing (IM), website traffic tools, Social Networking marketing, and all that cool stuff. (we do *not* do adult sites btw) The marketing and admin tasks you'll be doing will *not* be related to blah-blah boring stuff like sorting mortgage leads, writing for political sites, creating spreadsheets for plumbing inventory/parts, or any other snoozer stuff that most Administrative Assistant jobs might entail. Zzzzz. ....Instead you'll be smack-dab-in-the-middle of IM and Social Networking and other hot and "in" topics. Last year 52% of all web traffic was video related, so come join us in the Social Networking revolution! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This job is not about getting paid for sitting around all day firing off stupid messages to MySpace buddies. While this job may be considered by most folk as fun work, you are going to be very busy. Busy! Creating and managing the SN projects, executing them, and measuring results, including regularly checking progress of our websites' SERPs (search engine ranking position) in Google. Reality: Leer Jet detailing happens to be expensive. And man I mean really expensive. (proof: www.tinyurl.com/jet-detailing ) Therefore you must do your job with true diligence, poise, an honor (I always wanted to say that) and stay on track, so that our company makes moolah. Next to my desk are two large levers protruding straight up out of the floor. If you slack off then I pull lever A, and the floor opens and down you fall into a giant pit of gummy worms. On the other hand, if I catch you doing a great job, then I may be motivated to pull lever B, which instantly gets you a very cool ride down the TiVO slide ( www.tinyurl.com/tivo-weeee ) which btw is normally seen only ONCE, when someone plugs in their new TiVo for the first time. Disclaimer: This is a real job ad so I want to be certain that *everyone* realizes that the above two paragraphs and also the Egyptian servant thing were all in jest. There are no trap doors in the floor, no gummy worm pit, and no TiVO slide. (darn!) ...but I woudn't be phased if during a job interview some moron starts looking around for the lever A. You should know that this cool job, with cool perks, but it is real work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How to Apply ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) Send me links to some of your blog posts and forum posts. 2) Send me links to your presence on some SN (social networking) sites 3) Send me your photo. (hey, you'll be including your photo publicly when doing SN marketing, so I'd like to know that you don't have two heads, that you're not a nudeist, and that you don't have a Hitler style mustache) 4) Send me examples of any articles or press releases you have written 5) Your resume... not really necessary, but hey you worked hard putting the darned thing together, so send it along. 6) Send me a short cover letter. No not your typical boring stuffy letter that you'd usually submit with a resume. Roll up your sleeves, let your hair down, and be yourself. If you have a little sense of humor, let it show. In your letter, tell me your experience (or non-experience and ability to learn) for each of the job requirement bullet items near the top of this posting. 7) {Optional} If you want a little edge over everyone else who's applying for this position, create an utlra-short video telling me about yourself, your hobbies, your work skills, and anything else you want to mention, then send me the Youtube link to the video. You can apply for this job now (today) and send me the video link later, when its ready. If you've never done video before, this is your chance to dive right into the world of SN marketing and video. Listen, even if you don't get hired for this position, you will have gained the experience of knowing how to create a video "cover letter" that you can use to seek new jobs. Anytime you apply for a job, submitting a link to a cover letter video hosted YouTube, will "get you noticed" over everyone else who's applying for that job. Listen up, employers are people too, and believe me after sifting thru a mound of long boring resumes for eight hours a day, they'll be delighted when they come across your video cover letter... it will get you noticed. Really! Guess what, you just learned a new, effective marketing technique. Mark ps -- One last item. This is a cool work environment. On the fourth floor of a nice building, with awesome places to eat just down the street and a Starbucks within stone's throw. What more could you ask for? . ]]>
