Wooly Wonder Forums "Hiring" Membership Coordinator

[pamelamama]

Hey Gals! I'm looking for someone to work closely with me on forum membership. I'm talking about the paid memberships that help fund the forums, not just the basic free memberships!

We'll have our next membership drive in November, and I want to have everything just perfect and running smoothly by then. Are you the mama for the job? Here's my requirement list:


I need someone who is willing to dedicate time to this project up to and through our November fundraising drive. There is plenty of time to proceed at a leisurely pace, but I want someone who can touch base with me about progress casually on a daily basis, and formally on a weekly basis.
Coordinator should have a strong comfort level with computers, some design knowlege or html, ability to work with databases.
You must have excellent communication skills.
It would be nice to have someone who is a forum 'regular' on this job.
I think the most important attribute is dedication.


What will this person do?

make sure the systems are in place for people to sign up and pay for memberships
advertise the membership drive
round up a membership committee for support
come up with a theme for the drive
work with a designer to get banners and buttons made for the event
contact our current business partners and make sure they are still onboard for the next year
get all the new members into our database properly
solicit new business parnters for member discounts
organize a drawing to be held at the end of the drive
come up with other great ideas and implement them!


I'm offering:

Lifetime Fluffo's Fiancee Forum Membership (avatar!! whooohoo!) (see http://woolywonder.com/membership for details)
All Wooly Wonder Patterns and Classes forever
Respect and admiration of your peers ;)
Title of your choice!
You can probably negotiate for some hand-knits for your kid.


So, that's what I am thinking now. I'd love to get this coordinator (willing to consider a team or one person and an assistant) started by August.

You can read about forum membership here:

If you are interested in this job, please write me an email (pamelamama@woolywonder.com )detailing your qualifications. Convince me you're the best person for the job! If you have any questions, send me an email or pm! I can also answer general questions in this thread. Your email to me is your 'audition letter' so please put your best foot forward! :pink

Accepting applications through August 1st. If you are planning to apply, please drop me a line letting me know, so I can get an idea of who is interested.

If anyone is interested in helping to 'pay' this coordinator by offering a soaker, yarn, knitting books, etc, that would be a terrific way of showing your support!

Thanks again!

I would love this job, but the timing just isn't good for me right now. Maybe for next year's membership drive? :brow

[pamelamama]

Noted! Maybe you'll be interested in being on the committee when it forms! :brow

[pmcgary]

Add me to the list of volunteers to be on the committee...I lack the computer skills for any big job...And I already seem to have some of the 'perks'.

[Ruth]

I love committees, put me down :D

[Susan_WW]

I can definitely help with the committee :pink

[whitecalx]

I don't think I can do all of it, I'm afraid of commiting in case ds ends up being high needs. But let me know anyway I can help and I'd be glad to.
I can also recruit my dh to help too, he does databases and things like that for a living (he's also quite html saavy).

[mamapez]

No need to bribe me...I would be happy to help out with the committee. :)

[pamelamama]

I see lots of helpers! Do I see a leader??

[whitecalx]

I nominate Amy ;)

[mamapez]

I nominate Amy ;)

Well, since PamM and I seem to be the only non-preggo helpers, I guess we are up. ;)

I believe I can take this ball and run with it... :noball

It probably helps that I was the person to set up the first membership database. :)

I am a little intimidated by your initial post Pam...give me a chance to sift through it, and maybe I can meet up with you in chat a little later? LMK what times are good for you. I will be unavailable this evening and next - but during the day or later in the week is good. :)

amy, i'll totally help you out as much as possible. :bighug

[pamelamama]

This is on the very top of my to-do list!~

Me? Hardly!!! And to think I only came over here b/c I saw you had posted- and I wanted to give you some congratulatory karma!!!!

This is slightly off topic, but I want to get the newsletter thingy going. I had some brainstorms a while back but I'm not sure how to actually put the thing together. Can we seek some help with the logistic part of the newsletter?

What do you need?

[ravingcutie]

Someone who is good with the email part of things. And possibly just someone else to help out with generating ideas and putting them together.

[mamapez]

If you have a Word document all done up, I can pdf it for you. :) Also, I could host a file on my server, if you just wanted to send out a link.

[pamelamama]

Of course Katie. I think you might have even had some volunteers in your Press Room forum.
