You all helped me name it, now I need several of you to help write it! The preview version of Domain Name Journal is now online at www.dnjournal.com. I set out with the goal of providing the domain name business with a "trade paper" of its own. The framework is now in place but it needs to have life breathed into it by a group of volunteers willing to share their expertise in the many different areas the site will cover. It will help raise your profile in the industry (and your business's profile too).
I need writers for columns about each of the major TLDs, another column on country code TLD's and one on TLD registration trends. Also people who can write about developing web sites, search engine optimization (page rank), type-in domains and affiliate programs (there will be a separate column on each).
Another important position will be writing the Players column in the People section. This needs to be someone who has been in the business for some time and has a lot of personal contacts. The column will feature short items on domain industry people and what they are doing. There will also be a monthly Cover Story which will usually be a profile of a major figure in this business. I want to emphasize people as that is an area that has not gotten much coverage. I hope to help everyone get to know each other better as individuals.
Everyone can help with The Low Down page. That is basically an industry gossip page with many short items. When you come across an item that would fit, just email it to us ([email protected]). We also want guest editorialists and will need people to debate both sides of a hot topic in the Face Off column.
There will also be a Resources page and Classified Ads (free to those who will exchange website links to us).
I would like to invite you to visit the site and browse through it to get a better idea of what it's all about. If it looks like something you would like to be involved with, just drop me an email or PM letting me know what you would like to write about. Anyone who wants to submit a column may do so and we will use the best of those. I would like to have more than one person writing on the various subjects so we will have a variety of perspectives. I have seen enough good writing in this forum to know there are enough qualified people to pull it off.
The different elements in the magazine will be updated at different times. The Cover Stories will run for a month, the columns for a week or two, The Low Down and News pages will be changing daily.
I would also like your feedback on the site layout and content. If there are some other specific areas that should have their own columns let me know!
