Over the past six years following the launch of Louisville Mojo, the online community in our city has really come into its own.
More than ever, there are a number of great local web sites, photographers, developers, designers, bloggers, and videographers in our midst.
The people driving this creativity are producing content for purposes of citizen journalism, education, entertainment, fame, fortune, and even just for fun.
At Metromojo (the company that owns this site), our original mission was to develop user-centric communities by enabling content (not creating content). We recently updated our strategy and are actively building LouisvilleMojo.com into a example of how user-generated, professional, and syndicated content can be delivered in a hyper-local package.
Today, we are seeking partnerships with some of the best local and regional writers and artists. The goal is to promote their work in whatever way best serves them (syndication, regular features, guest appearances, etc.), while growing this site into the leading progressive destination within the local media market.
Obviously, the benefit to Louisvillians will be the resultant great content delivered from a collective of intellectuals and thought leaders.
If you can think of opportunities that would benefit you by displaying your domain expertise in a particular area, such as becoming a featured blogger for a specific channel (see "channels" in the main site navigation), developing newsletter articles, or simply cross-posting your external blog updates into Mojo, we'd like to include your work.
I am excited to hear your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions, even if you'd prefer not to work with us.
I think that's wonderful. One of the things I enjoy doing is writing articles on unknowns artists of all genres in Louisville. Friends of Lou is a good start but they truly are misleading because I know a stack of people who can't even get exposure here for their artistic talents. Possibility city needs a new name or proof that it's telling the truth.
I also blog about outside perspectives on issues of life and relationships. Sure, I have no degree but it helps to relate better I think. Since I get a chance to talk to people at book signings, paranormal events, etc. my insight has been so valuable that a movie producer, Laura Seli helped convince me to blog about them. It seems to help a lot of people so it might be worth the public's while. I'm always about helping others.
You can see my articles on mafiaconnections.net but also on my site at http://www.danielsdoorstep.com/ondanielsmind as well as http://www.danielsdoorstep.com/friends
Whether or not anyone decides I'm worth being on this I wish everyone well and truly hope that a community of talents will benefit each other and not become singular, selfish, and too opinionated.
