Support your local Bexhill-on-Sea AboutMyArea/TN39 community website
Join the Bexhill-on-Sea AboutMyArea/TN39 team
Due to overwhelming interest, and the consequential heavy work load, we need to expand our workforce; therefore, we are looking for people in the local community to continue the growth of the TN39 website.
The remarkable interest shown in the website makes AboutMyArea/TN39 one of the fastest growing local web media for the Bexhill-on-Sea area and a growing resource for community information.
New developments such as Community Networking are allowing local people direct access to the site to post their own content. Community groups, schools and all kinds of local groups are given their own pages for free - and a calendar lists local events. Clearly in order to sustain this growth, we are now looking for extra support from community-minded individuals. The opportunities range from becoming a contributor or sub-editor, with access to the site with your own log in and editing facility, or as a paid sponsorship and advertising co-ordinator. For clarification of what the AboutMyArea/TN39 team are looking for, please read on:
Paid Sponsorship and Advertising Co-ordinator
To fund the site, we rely on support from local businesses via sponsorship or advertising. We support them, in return, by publicising their business and we offer cost effective promotions. If you have experience in media sales and local promotions, you could help fund the site and earn 30% commission at the same time. This would involve, for example:
- Developing customer sales and sponsorship
- Visiting potential customers
- Preparing adverts
- Maintaining a Client Database
Experience would be preferable for example:
- Have you had responsibility for your own customers?
- Are you used to working on your own?
- Have you ever been involved in selling advertising/sponsorship on the internet?
The benefits of this role are:
- Flexible working hours
- Supporting your local community
- Being part of an exciting community service
- Working as part of a team but working on your own initiative too
On a less formalised / voluntary level:
If you want to make regular contributions, we are on the lookout for writers on any topic of local interest - gardening, arts, local history, sports - in fact, anything you think would be of interest to our Bexhill-on-Sea community.
Finally, if you run or help publicise a local group, then please sign up as a sub-editor and you can make AboutMyArea/TN39 your own website to communicate with members and promote your activities.
So, if you are interested in any of the above options or if you have any other ideas for continuing the success of the AboutMyArea/TN39 community website, please contact your AboutMyArea/TN39 website editor by emailing me at janeshelton@aboutmyarea.co.uk. or alternatively email via our contact point here.
All communications will be treated in total confidence.
Yours sincerely
Jane Shelton
Site Editor
