Want to Write for the RFID Weblog?

Filed in archive Special Events on September 7, 2005

Every so often someone will email me about writing guest posts here on the RFID Weblog.

Well, here's your chance to submit guest posts -- AND get paid for them.

creative Weblogging (the company that owns the network this blog is part of) has just launched a program called "Creative Reporter Network." From the press release:

Creative Weblogging starts 'Creative Reporter Network' and pays reporters and bloggers for submitting high-value content.

With this extension to the Creative Weblogging (http://www.creative-weblogging.com) network, every reader can now become an active contributor to one of the Internet's fastest-growing blog networks.

A simple sign-up at http://www.creative-reporter.com gives reporters the opportunity to take part in Creative Weblogging's approach to Collaborative Journalism. 'Creative Reporters' can submit text, audio and video content while enjoying the easy-to-use cutting edge publishing framework Creative Weblogging has developed.

Submitted articles appear online after review and approval by the Creative Weblogging team. Reporters will be able to track their articles' readership and receive notifications when readers post comments.

Sounds like a nice opportunity to pick up some extra money -- and have your name become better known in the RFID community.

Here are the kinds of articles we will be looking for here at the RFID Weblog:

• Between 250 and 500 words


• Written for businesspeople, rather than technologists or privacy advocates.


• Covering new developments in RFID that are off the beaten path... and that are not well covered elsewhere.


• Should have original insights or unique perspective. Simply linking to a news article is not enough ('cause anyone can go to Google News, right?).


• Most preferred topics: RFID patents; RFID in the supply chain; RFID implementation case studies; RFID market size; RFID and wireless networks


• Podcasts and video are OK, but should be (1) interesting, and (2) accompanied by a detailed summary of what the recording or video is about.

Remember, Creative Reporter is open to submissions for all the blogs in the network, not just the RFID Weblog. Click on the "Network" link at the top of this page to see all the weblog categories.
