STAR CONTRIB PROGRAM
Would you love to write more for Inman but have a hard time coming up with topics to pursue? Inquire about our Star Contrib Program (simply email me at [email protected] and let me know if you're in). We will send out assignments to be claimed voluntarily each week with a week-long deadline. We ask that you file a story monthly at minimum. Your stories will receive top priority editing and placement, and our star contrib stories often get the most traffic. Please let me know if you are interested.
FACEBOOK GROUP
By now I think most of you know that we have a contrib FB group. If you don't, please email me ([email protected]) and I'll send you an invite. Here are a few ways we are using -- and hope you join in -- the contributors FB group.
- Like your favorite stories each week, and give props to your colleagues.
- Post a favorite passage -- If you read something that just speaks to you, post it in the group and give the author a big shout out.
- Crowdsource -- I can't think of a better place to ask other willing, intelligent real estate writers for advice, resources, quotes, sources -- basically anything you need to write a great story.
- Talk about your story -- You will see us doing this more and more, as well as asking you questions about your stories and sharing more about ours. We invite you to do this too.
- Give kudos or constructive criticism, and ask questions -- This is the perfect place to have a discussion about what a story needed, what an author did amazingly well or remaining questions for the writer.
LOGOS
I just wanted to remind everyone that we do have contributors logos to use on your marketing materials. All we ask is that you link back to your author's page on Inman.com. Please shoot me an email in a separate thread to request your logos.
