Develop An Electronic Newspaper For Your Community! We'll work closely with you to develop, host and implement a customized web site for your community. Publish stories you generate or cover, from meetings to other public events...immediately on your site for instant viewing by thousands of readers. Run the electronic newspaper from your home or office, full or part-time. You are your own independent contractor: you set your own hours, own editorial policies and make your own choices for stories, opinions. More specific details are laid out in a contract to be implemented with our company. You do not need to have a billing, payroll or accounting system nor other sophisticated editorial software. Create polls, databases for stories, classified ads, get feedback from readers, publish obituaries (and allow others to search for ones already published), run a local "Breaking News" service and much more. Publish and sell photos, put up slide shows of local events, create a group of local columnists and blogs, set up a community calendar, publish local school and government information. The list goes on and on. And we supply much more: we register, host and keep the website running smoothly and implement the electronic/website strategies that keep your website customers coming back time after time, day after day. We set you up with email addresses and other electronic addresses for site responses, etc., do limited billing of advertising clients, etc. - all for a share of the monthly revenues of the site. What you need: A good educational background and a good reputation An average or better credit record At least three solid business or personal references A computer (with at least a DSL or cable modem Internet hookup) a word processor, a digital camera and photo editing software. $500 setup fee for work involved with setting up the site, credit check and other background work. If you believe you have what it takes to begin this process, call Jerry E. Clark at 540-464-6600. * * * * * * Our Commitment To You...
