FBLA Finds New Oxymoron on Craigslist

Look, it’s pronounced oxy-moREN, a contradiction in terms. Like giant shrimp. Anyway as we were trolling craigslist for something easy to make fun of we found an ad stating:

The entrepreneurial journalist will need to be well versed in social media, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc, to promote their content. This is an opportunity to get paid and get your work in front of more than 1 million readers.

Yep, “entrepreneurial journalist.” If you know how to make money – want to make money – are an entrepreneur – you are not answering writing gig ads on craiglist asking for reporters. You’re not a reporter. You’re something else, an entrepreneur.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.
