| kbdjax1 | Posted – 9/7/2007 12:51:09 PM | show profile contributors to print Women's Online mag Do you have payment guidelines? I really don't want to sign up without knowing more about the magazine. I did look at the Web site 'womensonlinemagazine.com' and saw a page there for columnists, but you don't seem to pay those. ------ http://kayday.com |
| westsidestory | Posted – 9/7/2007 2:40:04 PM | show profile O'Neal, get real -- tell us how much you are going to pay for contributions, and what rights you wish to acquire. Being upfront about your rates will get you traffic, or at least a bit more attention on this board. with affection, Westside |
| oneal | Posted – 9/7/2007 4:21:45 PM | show profile More details on Women's Online Magazine I hope these details will clarify some of the questions: Contributors WANTED Women's Online Magazine (WOM) is actively searching for contributors. We are launching a .pdf version of the magazine (WOM in PRINT, a free copy) in the next month, which will be disseminated across the Internet through the major business and social networking sites (with audience more than 50,000 in total). We are currently looking for contributors who can provide content that appeals to women. Topics can focus on any of the following categories; Food and Wine Arts and Entertainment Sports Travel Cooking Fashion Beauty Career Business Life Health & Fitness Diet & Nutrition Home & Decor Music Movies Relationship Finance and any other topics of interest to women. Acceptance of the articles will be based on suitability of content to the audience, conciseness (max word count is 600), sentence structuring, grammar, etc. Only articles meeting these requirements will be considered. WOM's editorial staff reserves the right to review, edit, and make changes to the original article as deem fit. Articles will also include the author's bio and contact information. Pictures/ images are highly encouraged (author is responsible for copyright issues). Contributors will be required to sign a form stating that materials belongs to him/her and article is original, and has not been published elsewhere.

WOM in PRINT is an international publication and it will be published every 3 months starting from October 2007. The next issue will be published in January 2008. WOM is currently receiving more than 10,000 visits each month. As the .pdf and the website continue to grow, the reach of this publication will only skyrocket.

| kbdjax1 | Posted – 9/10/2007 9:00:53 PM | show profile appreciate the clarification(s) I appreciate your answering my question about compensation. Good luck with your endeavors. |
| ZooZooB | Posted – 9/10/2007 10:20:17 PM | show profile So basically, a writer gets to buy an ad for $50 for contributing an article to WOM? Is this what is considered compensation these days? Yikes. |
| prdiva | Posted – 9/11/2007 12:45:00 PM | show profile This is a truly hilarious, nervy post to put up on a board of writers. I can only LOL. |
| fourfold | Posted – 9/11/2007 2:34:53 PM | show profile If I decline the "offer" of an ad for $50, will my article still run? Or is acceptance contingent on buying an ad? Sadly, there will be a lot of solo entrepreneurs and consultants who, eager to promote their businesses and fancying themselves as budding writers, will take the bait. I can only guess at the quality of the writing that will result. Who, exactly, is expected to buy this magazine? |
| westsidestory | Posted – 9/11/2007 2:56:31 PM | show profile See above - it's free distribution. No body has to buy it. And nobody has to print it - it will go as a downloadable pdf. I would have admired O'Neal's savvy in creating a pure-play web operation ...except for the part about doing it on the backs of gullible freelancers. |
| oneal | Posted – 9/13/2007 3:26:58 PM | show profile Women's Online Magazine misunderstanding I can assure you my intention was not to take advantage of anyone. Some working writers run businesses as well, and Women's Online Magazine is an excellent advertising forum for small business. Jackie+ |
