Become a Golfers Network Contributor
Contributors serve as independent contractors, allowing them to choose what to write about related to their topic and when. They write from home, school, or wherever inspiration strikes. Successful Contributors publish a minimum of one informative article per week.
If you believe you have what it takes to be an Golfers Network Contributor we would love to hear from you.
What does an GN Contributor do?
Contributors provide insight into the topic they are covering, allowing visitors of the Golfers Network to stay informed on what is happening in local and regional golf. For example, if you are a Golfers Network Contributor covering the High School Golf Championships, you could preview the top teams, interview the top individuals, discuss the golf course and conditions, etc. But even more important, you can add a local perspective others can’t. Where’s the best place to play in your area? Where can you buy golf equipment? The possibilities are endless and we have a staff who will help you focus your expertise in the right way.
With our help, Golfers Network Contributors create a Web page on golfersnetworkusa.com. Contributors update their page on a regular basis with short, informative articles that are easy to read. Our best Contributors deliver their information clearly and concisely. To make their pages more appealing, they use pictures, videos, and links to other resources.
Our most successful Contributors spend time marketing their content to their social and business networks using tools like Twitter, Digg, Email lists, message boards, and good old-fashioned word-of-mouth. If all of this sounds new, Golfersnetworkusa.com provides the resources you need to learn and use these tools to master online marketing.
How much time does all this take?
On average, an active and successful Golfers Network Contributor spends 1-2 hours a week creating and publishing their content on Golfersnetworkusa.com, responding to comments from readers, and investing in social marketing. Some Contributors spend far more time, publishing 5 or more articles a day. The time you spend is truly up to you, but frequent publishing is one major key to success as a Contributor.
