You may, by this point, be wondering about some of the specifics of the job itself.

Well, let me take a few moments now to talk about those.

Our company creates other companies, specifically associations, user groups, fan clubs, etc.

We have several social media sites with forums, blogs, and Marketplaces for which we need some Moderators.

The Moderator would be in charge of:
creating and curating content for the site,
moderating comments on the blog and forum posts,
inviting outsiders to come check out the site,
interviewing interesting people in the industry and writing up your discoveries,
answering questions,
and other such things that pertain to being the moderator of a popular social site.

You set your own hours. And work from wherever you have access to the internet.

We provide you with tools and guidelines like an editorial calendar, style guides, and advanced training.

For the most part though you are free to accomplish the goals we set together however you see fit.


You could even hire others to help you with some of your tasks, if you wish, as long as you take care of their pay out of yours, and you treat them well so that things do not reflect badly on our company.

As far as your own compensation goes, you would be getting a cut of whatever revenue the site brings in.

We have several monetization methods built-in already and are looking to add more.

Plus, we can provide you with step-by-step instructions, ongoing coaching, and other support to get the site earning you a great living doing what you love as quickly as possible.

At this time, there is no salary or hourly wage associated with this position.

There is also no cap on the amount you can earn. The more profits you help the company make, the more you yourself make.

You are still reading, so presumably you are still interested.

Great!
