It looks like we are assembling a good lineup of contributors to the blog (See the call for writers). Some of you had a few questions about writing here, so I'll try to sum the answers to the frequently asked questions:
If I want to write here - how often do I have to write for the blog?
You do not have to commit to a constant flow of articles - even people who want to write just one article are welcome. And this is the whole idea: In terms of market perspective it is better to have one article from a thousand different people than a thousand articles from the same person.
And what if I do want to write here constantly?
People who would like to join as constant writers are very welcome. Every one that submits at least one article in a month will be also featured on the right column along with a full profile (We will usually upload the profile after 3-4 articles/posts).
What about the IP/ownership of the article?
The original writer remains the owner of all intellectual property rights. You can post this articles in other places or do whatever you want with it. We do not require any exclusivity of any kind, the blog just receives a license from the owner to publish the article here.
What about payment/royalties?
This blog is non-commercial by nature, and is intended to be a free of charge service to the mobile content community written by people from within that community. People can read for free (and with no ads), so we also require the writers to contribute the articles for free.
Can I write about my company? We have the coolest product...
As said, the blog is non-commercial, so we do not appreciate advertisements disguised as articles, however, we do allow and even appreciate articles that are based on examples from the real world and not just on theory. So if you have an article about the future of mobile games for example, and your company is doing something interesting in that frontier, you can mention it and even elaborate on it. Now of course there's a fine line here, but we'll help you to find the balance.
Who reads this blog?
We have readers from around the world, primarily from the UK and the US. The blog got its fame from the famous 3GSM 2007 reacp post that circulated around the globe. Among the readers we have VCs, operators and mobile content publishers/developers/aggregators etc. In terms of traffic the blog can have thousands of readers in a good month. So we are not talking about millions, but these are not random visitors - almost all of the readers are from within the industry. In addition the readers base is expected to grow when we launch the blog in it's new form with a multitude of writers from different segments of the industry.
What's in it for me?
As a contributor to NextGenMoCo you can get exposure to other people from the industry, some holding key position in organizations you may want to work with sometime (And if that sounded like a sales pitch, just write - you'll feel good about it...)
