We have openings for Authors of the GrizzlyGroundswell.com blog author positions. I am writing today to see if you would be interested in joining us as an author. This is not a typical position as it actually “pays” you to be an author with promotion on our network that I have built since July 27th, 2007.

Let me tell you a little bit about what I have done and worked hard to provide our Conservative Grassroots vehicles to get the reach our values and ideals deserve online today.

My strategy is two fold: REACH & MONETIZATION

REACH: Let’s face it, without reach today online our message does not get to those thirsting for our message. We are not able to win the hearts and minds of the American people if they never hear our message.

My Strategy takes the form of the Three legged Stool:

1. Blogs: Blogs are the passport and credential of any online presence today. Each of our efforts have blog counter parts. The main blog is www.grizzlygroundswell.com where I have united some of the best Conservative grassroots bloggers across this nation. They come and go but the blog is always on the forefront of the debate.
2. Online Magazine: www.temeritymagazine.com We have two and will be launching at least three more quarterly magazines in 2010. These are not just exciting vehicles to publish and showcase our members and contributors but they enjoy an amazing reach! As a Grizzly Groundswell Author, you will be encouraged to submit and enjoy the exposure these vehicles give your message and brand.
3. Online 24/7 Radio Station www.wggrn.com is our first radio station where we actually have been able to afford our membership the opportunity to monetize their own effort! It is gaining momentum and by year end we should have 5 more streaming 24/7 radio stations up and running if not more! This is a vital link in communication but it is not the enormous reach yet, that our other efforts afford us.
4. The Seat of the Three legged stool is social networks like Twitter where we RSS feed all the posts on our blogs up to our 151,000 first order followers. This gets us the reach that surpasses most of the main stream media. This continues to grow and is the true secret to gaining my authors the reach their Conservative grassroots ideals and values deserve!

MONETIZATION:

Without money no effort can survive. In order for myself to continue to provide services for my fellow Conservative grassroots not only do I have to monetize my effort but I need for you to monetize your own so that you will not be a shooting star, bright and vibrant only for a short time then burn out and fall to the ground never to be heard of again.

If this was a part time hobby I would not care to monetize but I am investing my labor and time since July 27, 2007 to give my Conservative grassroots movement the opportunity to be relevant today in the political landscape.

How I monetize:

• Advertising- I sell advertising on all the online efforts. Although it is a tough sell as even our very own membership does not economically support our efforts. You know the opposition never will. So the strategy is to grow large enough so that we can monetize and continue to provide great vehicles for our fellow Conservative grassroots to get the message out, and utilize our reach.
  • We sell advertising here: www.wggrn.com/advertising
    • Blog
    • Radio
    • Magazine
    • Twitter!
• Services- I have:
  • www.grizzlytemerity.com our discounted hosting and domain sales so that anyone can afford to host their own work, and not worry about the opposition erasing their online effort. Also this affords our membership to monetize their own efforts.
  • I also sell time slots on our radio station so that our members can monetize their own efforts and continue in this fight for a long, long time!
  • Soon we will offer even more services as we find entrepreneurs that want to bring their services to our customer base.
• Consulting & Guest Speaking- This is a new effort for 2010
  • Since our membership is across the country we can essentially have a representative anywhere at anytime speaking on most any subject that is the members expertise.
  • I can consult on anything we do and enjoy sharing this special story of how this Grizzly Groundswell started and growls today.
  • Online efforts are wrought with wasted time and capital. I can steer most efforts into directions that will not only work but thrive in this cut throat political landscape.
• Events- We are looking at starting to offer events all across this nation. We have an international/national convention in the planning stages for 2011-12. But I think we need to focus in backyards and get some events under our belt across this nation that will lead up to the big events we plan to have in future.
  • We love being invited to Conservative events and give those events an added depth of knowledge and credential as we bring so much to the table. We hope to have presences in more and more events in 2010.
• Endorsements- We enjoy finding other businesses that we can put our Grassroots brand behind. We look for business, organizations, Political Action Committees that are doing and embodying our message and offering a superior product to our membership. If you want to align your business, organization or PAC with the Conservative Grassroots, then you want to get Grizzly!
• BLOGGING- Yes we even offer individual Conservative authors the ability to attain the value of our Reach as a blog author of our Radio Station’s WGGRN.com blog author. We charge $21 for a 4 week period to attain the reach we have built since July 27, 2007. However, if you are chosen as an author for GrizzlyGroundswell.com or a Radio Show host you get this value for free!

Now what is expected out of our GrizzlyGroundswell.com Authors:

• A link back from your site to our efforts.
• One Post a week to be scheduled to post at your assigned time.
  • Each 4 week period you should try to hit upon one national issue, one state issue and one local backyard issue. Then one on anything of interest to you and our readers would find interesting. These are suggestions and we have often made exceptions.
  • All posts should be original and can be reposted with links back to the post on grizzlygroundswell.com 3 days after publishing. Posts may be used for promotion and published in our online magazines as well.
  • These posts should not lift up organizations or candidates that are not assisting our effort in monetization. Exceptions are made with prior approval but if we do not take ourselves and our effort seriously, why should they buy the cow when the advertising milk is always free? Our Candidates campaigns and organizations need to invest in Conservative Grassroots online efforts other than continually re-inventing the wheel we have risked our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor. The FREE Lunch is over.
  • You should continue to keep up your own online efforts and grow your reach as it interdependently serves us well.
  • You should also stay in touch and work with us to attain the efforts goals and find those goals that match your own and put your shoulder into them when you can without stretching your own effort too thin.
  • Promote both your own effort and our joint effort as we proclaim! “Come On Home America! to our Conservative Ideals and Values!

What You Get!
What should Motivate you to Join our Effort and Get Grizzly with us!

• • Being an Author of the Grizzly Groundswell is a position that comes with instant stature. We have a great history and you are filling the position of some great Americans that have come and gone over the years. Hey, Life happens, but the Grizzly Groundswell always grows and keeps Growling!
  • You get 125 x 125 button ad on each of our three legged stool efforts: WGGRN.com, GrizzlyGroundswell.com & TemerityMagazine.com with links back to your site and effort! BearFanRon for example has enjoyed the following reach and click through’s to his effort since December 2009:
    • GrizzlyGroundswell.com 156,779 impressions and 203 clicks to his effort
    • WGGRN.com 81,936 impressions and 42 clicks to his effort
    • TemerityMagazine.com 10,222 impressions and 29 clicks to his effort.
    • For a Grand Total of 248,937 impressions and 274 clicks to his effort so I hope you see that in just two months there is a great benefit for only 8 posts being submitted. You get a huge bang for your labor!
  • If you like to post more then once a week you also get access to our wggrn.com radio station blog where you can have some more freedom to post up to three times daily. This is asubscription value of $273/year! It is only given to our GrizzlyGroundswell.com authors and our radio hosts!
  • You will also have the opportunity to have your GrizzlyGroundswell.com posts published in TemerityMagazine and WGGRN.com Quarterly Magazine and others as we launch them. You can always submit other work to these efforts and you get preference over other submitters because of your association with our membership.
  • Each and every post you post on GrizzlyGroundswell.com and WGGRN.com goes up to our growing reach of over 151,000 twitter first order followers. What would any business purchase such a reach for? Your effort can attain access to this just by joining our effort and keeping your membership in good standing.
  • I also offer a 30 second audio ad that we will play on www.WGGRN.com during our station breaks as space allows.

Essentially we are giving our Authors more Value then they have to give us, that is how we do business. We are investing our time and labor in your effort and giving you the chance to break through the chaos found online with an enormous reach all in exchange for you commitment and professionalism.

Termination of Services only happens if you are destructive to yourself, our effort or fellow membership. You can also step down at any time because we understand that life happens, and focus does shift over time. My hope is that you will value all we are providing you and together we can grow this effort into what God has in store for our effort. Both our efforts will be interdependent and if you fail or if this effort fails, we all lose. However, when we win like we do again and again, the victory is much more enjoyable when you have others to share in the success!
