I'm looking for aspiring Mac writers who would like to take on an internship position at billpalmer.net. This is your opportunity to make a name for yourself within the Macintosh community. Although this is not a paid position, you will potentially benefit by exposing your talents to billpalmer.net's diverse audience. This will look fantastic on your resume, and just might lead to future employment opportunities within the Mac community, etc. If you use a Mac and you enjoy writing about it, you are potentially qualified for an internship position.

Who can benefit from an intern position at billpalmer.net? I'm looking for Mac-using college students, Mac users looking to break into the Macintosh workforce, Mac users who want to show off their writing skills, recent Switchers who want to share their experiences...there is no shortage of unique perspectives about the Mac that are worth sharing. Here's your opportunity!

The details for prospective interns:

•  You must write and submit an original Mac-related or Apple-related article to billpalmer.net, at least once per month.
•  Your article can be a commentary, a review, a how-to guide, a discussion of a specific issue, or just about any other format of value to readers. The only requirement is that its subject matter must be relevant to Apple and/or the Macintosh.
•  Your article may be subject to minor editing, but you will have the opportunity to approve any editorial changes, before the article is posted
I will post your article on billpalmer.net, and I will make every effort to get your article linked to by MacSurfer and any other referral sites possible.
•  You will have the opportunity to have your name, biography, and contact information posted on the "about" page of billpalmer.net.
•  I will create an email address for you ("yourname@billpalmer.net") that will act as a forwarding address to your real email address for as long as you keep your internship active. This forwarding address will be included with each of your articles, so that readers can send feedback and/or questions about your article directly to you, and you can interact with them.
•  A thread will be created on the billpalmer.net discussion boards specifically for your article, and you will have the opportunity to interact on the boards with those who post comments about your article.
•  You will automatically become a member of the billpalmer.net online Mac User Group, which will provide you with the opportunity to keep up with the Mac universe and come into contact with other Mac users all over the world.
•  You will not be paid or otherwise financially compensated in exchange for submitting articles to billpalmer.net. You will not receive any share of any advertising revenue or any other revenue. You will, however, get to see your name in lights on billpalmer.net, at no cost to you. Feel free to use the resulting publicity to promote yourself, your work, etc.
•  As long as you keep your internship active (by submitting the required number of quality articles), you will be considered a part of the billpalmer.net family. What does this mean? Well, nothing is promised, but as billpalmer.net continues to grow and as new opportunities arise, you might very well find yourself representing the site at Mac-related functions, gatherings, events, etc. In other words, this is your chance to grow along with the site.

  There are currently only a limited number of internship positions available. If you are interested, or if you know someone who is, contact me at billpalmer@billpalmer.net. Be sure to include your full name, some background information about yourself, and -- don't forget the most important part -- an original article that you've written! I look forward to hearing from you.

  Sincerely,
  Bill Palmer
  Owner and publisher of billpalmer.net
