MensExpose.com is almost live! NEED WRITERS/CONTENT CREATORS!! Inquire within

clean look but more in the style of 2012/2013. the site might look outdated within a year or two.

site looks sweet!

I think the site is perfect! 

Definitely need to do a mens expose podcast. Great way to connect with big names in different fields since people love to go on podcast but hate to write articles. 

The header's going to look a bit different right now attention is too centered on that logo. 

Buuump. 

I'd be interested in doing some writing mang

Here the writing sample guidelines.

'k hit me up then. 

I meant what are the writing sample guidelines

Just write on one of the topics

I'd be interested in writing on health/fitness. I'm a Personal Trainer on the side while I get my degree in Physics but I know a lot about both haha 

Oh PT that sounds pretty fantastic. You have any writing you've already done? If not get crackin'! Lol 

Here's the latest iteration of the site:

Better keep the manwhore touch to your website and delete this faggot/typical good looking model picture. I assume it's sample pictures to illustrate the website.

I want shave head, wifebeater and a beret. Is it wordpress or html ?

I've written for a fitness website before that had a "fair" amount of traffic through it but not got anything written at the moment. 

im guessing you will have adverts on each page so the site pulls in some money? 

Yes there'll be some publishing involved. Of course products as well. It's to generate traffic mostly. If you've got your own site you want to link to that is totally acceptable as well. For some people this will be casual writing and exposure, others will see it as a means of building their own platform. I do not mind as long as it's not contradictory or competing with myself in any way. 

might be interested in writing a couple of articles, mang. 

maybe vids too. in couple of months though, when I have time again. and have my own website started.

For now just curious.

What's your vision for the site? Who is the audience? how does it relate to the title? 

It's a not replacement for the current site, but a standalone, is it? 

It looks as if it supposed to be some kind of magazine, also because of the broad range of categories. 

but then not really because of the site nav. content. not sure whats you angle is here. 

On whatkind of platform are you building it? 

I have been looking at squareplace.com and so far really dig it. cheap, great features and look, and very  easy to use, especially if you are lile total noob like me, when it comes programming website builiding etc.. Stripe integration and shop modules also pretty useful. 

If you really want to build the content up with a lot of external writers, you might wanna think of setting up very concrete guidelines for articles to be submitted. The more concrete the better. Starting with formal stuff, like expected word counts, súbmitted titles and subtitles, what kind of pictures are to be provided, probably deadlines, too, if you want regular writers. Have a list of conrete topics for each of the above categories at hand and steadily actualized (like " How to fuck you best friends hot mom in ten steps '), so you you can cross them off, when you have given them to someone., or maybe set up some easy to follow rules for topic and title creation. Have example articles ready that set the standard for the new writers.

This will not only save you so much time later, because you don't need to do and correct so much shit yourself, or deal with pissed off writers, whose articles you had to reject. it will also help you achieve a coherent look and attitude of the site. And lastly it will actually help the writers a lot. And happy writers are good writers.

Hmm ok thank you Chris that really makes things clear. Yeah I'm not used to that I've always just.. written, lol. But you're absolutely correct I'll get on it

glad to help ;) 

you might wanna ask this aleks guy who manages or used to manage some of the marketing stuff for rsd. You probably know him.

I remember he was really good at streamlining the process of writer management. He built big group of 'interns' that would write stuff on allmost a daily basis for literally nothing. 

I personaly did not care much neither for him as boss, nor of the whole mehod. But it was admittedly pretty ingenious, cheap and efficient method to generate traffic to the site, Ifrom what I could tell. 

He sold it all basically as some kind of mastermind group for the most talented writers of rsd (lol), and the incentive to get feedback and coaching on the writing etc. of which the latter really didn't happen as far I witnessed it. Which makes sense after all, because provididing solid feedback on writing is actually real solid work. Pretty easy to make sure an article fulfills a certain array of traffic generating standards, in comparison. he would have people write up to four or more of these articles per week. 

How much of his stuff is applicable to your project here, depends really on what kind of role your envision for articles to play. If you ONLY care about generating content and you are fine with noobs more or less just paraphrasing existing articles into flashy 'new' material for the page, this will be really great.

If you want original content, by people who know their shit and care about what they write, then  writer management will probably be helluva more work for you. haha, but also lot more rewarding , I'd say. 

It's very ironic you bring that up Chris. I used to be intimately involved with a couple of the teams within Rsd back in the day but when they started the current slave labor system I HATED it. Created a lot of tension and conflict between myself and Papa (Nick Kho). It was all lies, banking on people wanting to be part of the "cool crowd" but not actually offering them any value whatsoever. I used to send interns on bootcamps whenever I could, get them products, entrance to Rsd events, etc. But Nick (and I'm sure Owen as well he just let Nick be the face of the effort) wanted to take things as far as he could and stopped the entire thing. Now to be part of the "cool crowd" you've got to pay for an instructor's flight in and cart them around and either give them a place to stay or put them on your couch. Well of course quality of work has gone down, the quality of the forum took a massive shit, and the turn-around rate for interns is sky high- there are NO quality interns unless you're directly connected to Owen. Oh and look they lost Tim, Nathan and now Alex. It's all the same reflection of internal business practices. 

As far as this is concerned yes there will be feedback on the writing these have to be quality. I would expect some of these to absolutely turn into paid writing positions, and I want this to become an actual PLATFORM for the dudes who really stick out and start garnering attention. 

Shit that's some unethical shit. Definitely agree with you there. I couldn't be a part of something like that.
