AirshowStuff is looking for help!
The website has long been run by myself with the assistance of a few friends, but in order to keep it growing further I am hoping to find some new faces to help out. Of course, anyone who participates in this forum is helping a lot already and I really appreciate all of you!
For those who maybe want to be a bit more active, I have some specific roles that I'm hoping to fill, but there can definitely be multiple people for each one.
- Someone who enjoys video editing to recombine our existing footage into slick videos to be posted on our Youtube channel. Bonus points if you shoot your own footage and can contribute either flying video, interviews, or onboards to the channel. In fact if you can contribute good footage that'd be great on its own.
- Someone to send in short blog posts of aviation news stories like the KC-97 first flight or Gene McNeely retiring. Looking for a paragraph or two mostly, plus finding relevant photos/videos to include. I don't have time to proofread posts so this person should be really good at writing news copy. The goal is one post per week, but I'm flexible. Please make sure to include a sample news post about an aviation topic of your choice in your email!
- Someone to run an Instagram page for us, using our library of images. This will have to be someone experienced with IG because I am not. Experience running a non-personal page is also probably important. The main task will be making sure we get a few posts scheduled for each day. (FILLED FOR NOW)
I will also be up front that we don't make enough money right now to pay anyone for this, but we will do our best to support your media projects and credential requests at shows. I am specifically hoping to find people outside the Midwest because it will be harder to get passes for them with Dave and I already here. I'm also open to including links to your own site where possible.
If you take decent photos, we can definitely explore integrating them into the site in the future, but being a photog is NOT required to help out and we are not looking to add anyone who can only contribute photos. However, we always welcome photo contributions here on our forums and try to reshare them.
If you're interested in filling one of these roles and you can commit to spending some regular time on it, please send me an email and I'll see what we can do!
