Want to Be An iBankCoin Blogger? Rules of the Game

Many of you have emailed me about the open position(s) for writers at iBankCoin. Things are about to change here and I will let you know the ‘rules of the game’, as soon as you finish reading this wasteful sentence.

New blogger(s) will be elected by popular decree on Thursday of this week. If you do not post a blog in the Blogger Network, announcing your interest, you will not be put on the ballot. This means that you must make a pitch as to why people should vote for you. If that means shitting on your competitors, so be it. The first stage of becoming a successful blogger is to grab the attention of your peers.

Can you do that and get elected?

Once elected, you will be given all of the tools to become a blogging phenomenon. Your opinions will be read by the world and all posts will be retweeted through iBankCoin’s corporate Twitter account. HOWEVER, that’s where the fun ends. In order to remain a tabbed blogger, you must maintain a 3% share of traffic, which will be monitored, in true authoritarian fashion, every 3 months. No hard feelings, but if you can’t hold 3%, you will be let go.

Those who successfully maintain 3% share over 6 months might be inducted into a permanent role at the site, upon approval from the iBC board.

Let the games begin, fucked faces.

NOTE: If you do not have a blog in the Blogger Network and want an invite, email me at [email protected]

    IMHO this is unlikely to bring anything new to iBC. Most of the readership is only familiar with the trading niches that are already covered by successful tabbed bloggers. Horizons need to be expanded.

    I think you should bring in outside talent. I have a new niche and respectable lone wolf trader in mind that may suite you.

      Addendum: If you insist on promoting from the readership, there’s one gentleman who focus on & crushes short trades.

    Good luck everyone who enters. Sounds like an awesome opportunity. Who ever the winners are, you’ll be blogging with a group of well respected, established, elite traders and writers. Let’s see your best market analysis and trade ideas.

    Ty: I like you, Betty.
    Danny: It’s Danny, sir.
    Ty: Danny. Danny, I’m going to give you a little advice. There’s a force in the universe that makes things happen; all you have to do is get in touch with it. Stop thinking…let things happen…and be…the ball.

    Oy Vey! Already with the campaign?
    Vote for me and Mrs. Steve will cook and send you her famous brisket and I will send Steve, Jr. to your house to mow the lawn and solve your astro physics problems.
    On the other, hand don’t vote for me if I get that job as a pastrami maker at Stage Deli since I will be making good gelt.

    I interpret the Stage Deli closing as taking the high road, albeit to an unfortunate conclusion. They could have dealt with rent cost increase by trashing quality and holding the price. Active competiton meant they could not raise prices, so they fold.

    for what it’s worth, great idea, but can wood, jake, cain, and scott keep their sections? easier to navigate their sections, which are always fantastic

      Good point. The tabbed elite should be on the front page so to speak.
