A Massive iPhone project needs a webmaster and bloggers/forum posters

A few weeks ago, I, along with two other associates began developing a great project related to the iPhone and its App Store. The premise was to review almost every application, helping people decide whether or not they should go out and buy the app themselves (think of us like the GameSpot of iPhone gaming). Then, surrounding the reviews, was to be a large database of iPhone/App tutorials, news, previews, and finally, a massive forum dedicated to everything iPhone and App Store. At the moment, no such forum exists.

As you can see, we have everything set up.

• Custom and coded Wordpress theme
• Unique forum with many mods installed
• Applications list ingeniously sorted
• Tutorials list page coded
• Advertising strategy explicitly planned out, from conquering YouTube to the iTunes top podcasts list.

So why am I posting here?
We have a problem. The three of us currently working on this project are all full-time students with jobs, clubs, and sports. As enthusiastic as we are about this project, we simply cannot find the time to work on such a content-heavy site, at least not in the blogging and reviewing department. On our forum, we came up with a great plan to hire people to blog, review, and create other types of content for the site, but since no one goes to the forum yet, there is no one to hire.

What I am looking for now is someone that can take on this project as an administrator like myself and the two other leaders. Whatever revenue the site makes (which if all goes according to plan, will be huge), you will get an equal share of the pay. The same share that I make and that the other two leaders make. But of course, for me to allow that to happen, we need someone who is/has the following:

• Be extremely active. I can't stress this anymore. If you aren't active, we don't need you, and we'll have to send you out. That's the whole reason we are currently hiring.
• Knows the topic at hand. This means, for you to run an iPhone community, you need to actually have one (or the iPod Touch) and know how to use it. The only exception we can make to this is if you are really enthusiastic about this project and can make up for it by doing a ton of other work.
• Will respect the fact that this site is a part of the Vuggo Network, the website network that owns and funds the project. The three guys (including myself) that are currently working on this project, work for Vuggo, so we get the final word on anything to do with the coding or content. We aren't strict, but we can't let our site spiral out of our own hands.

The kind of stuff we need you to do is:

• Take control over a project that has been fading away due to inactivity.
• Get the forum going, get the blog running, get on board with our advertising strategies (or come up with your own).

We need someone who, with his work and effort, can inspire the rest of us to work just as hard and to turn this community into the largest of its type.

To prove to us that you could manage such a task, I would like for you to let me know of you own experience with webmaster, unique ideas you have for this project, what skills you could bring to the table, and exactly how much time you could put into it.

Remember, I can't promise you any amount of money just like I can't promise myself it. Wherever this project (the only of its kind) heads, is how will rake in. Just remember, there are thousands of applications for the iPhone, millions of people buying and downloading them, and no professional home or community for them. We even want to get application developers on board.

-------------------------------------

Also, we need Bloggers, Forum Posters, application Reviewers, iPhone Tutorial Writers, and more. All these positions are paid, plus some that aren't, like forum moderators, but get many incentives like holiday gift-cards and more. Look to the next post on this thread for details on forum posting.

For forum posters:

We are paying our forum posters $.10 per post, which is a great rate. We hope to get 100 posts from each person who signs up, so let me know if you are interested. I'll check out your posts here on DP or on some other forum (let me know which) to see if you're qualified!

I'm definitely interested in writing forum posts, blogging, and reviewing for you. I don't have many posts here yet, but I'm extremely literate and have many posts on tons of other popular forums. I also own an iPod Touch and have a strong interest in your topics. Is there an email address I can contact you at? Mine is david(at)frigidlight.com or davidhowland14(at)gmail.com.

Thanks,
David
