Hi contributor. I'm proud to announce you have been selected to join the Toya'z World team.
This position is for those who enjoy writing in their spare time. What we're looking for from the contributor are factural stories with an opinionated edge. It enables the contributor the chance to report on music news in the R&B and pop realm while sharing their opinion with the masses. It's not a full time position and I only expect individuals to post when they have the spare time. Even if you can only do one post a week, it's very appreciated. But if you want to be more active with your posts throughout the week, that will also be very cool as well.
Post requirements: Every post has an introductory photo. Video clips and audio are always posted after the jump. Upload photos to either tumblr, blogger, tinypic or photobucket. I don't upload photos to the server because it helps to lighten the pressure and enables my site to load much faster. And I can just about afford the server costs! So keeping my CPU to a minimum is important!
Width dimension for photos always stand at 500. So if the pic is 900 in width, you can manually downsize it without using an image software program. Height doesn't matter. Always ensure the photo is aligned in the center.
If the post exceeds two paragraphs, cut it off after TWO paragraphs by using the 'continue reading' feature. Always link back to the original source. Don't plagiarise from another site. The work has to be 100 percent yours. When lifting music news from another site, switch it up and make it your own. All you need to do is look at my posts just to get an idea.
Where to find music news: The top music forums are Popjustice, UKMIX and ATRL. You can also follow a number of useful news sources and fansites on twitter.
You should have recieved your details for the site. You can change your password and username once you log in. If you have problems doing so, let me know.
You can start posting whenever you're ready. Once I've gathered up my team of writers, you will all be expected to communicate with each other on twitter. Example, whoever is the first to inform the team on twitter that they are posting the new Beyonce song is the one who will do the post. This is to ensure we don't get any repeat posts. I'll inform you who the other writers are this week. If you have any other questions, let me know!
Other than that, welcome aboard!
