6 Ways You Can Spread the Word About One Week Job
First off, Sean and I want to thank everyone for their continued interest and support of the One Week Job project. I’ve only been on the road with Sean for 4 weeks, and it’s been an incredible experience.
That said, we need your help! Yes, you, reading this on your computer screen right now.
We need you to help spread the word about the One Week Job project, allowing as many people as possible to join the journey and learn from Sean’s weekly experiences.
In a perfect world, we would have thousands and thousands visitors to the website. In reality, this only happens when good people of the internet help the message go viral.
So if you’d like to help out, we’ve put together a brief list of ideas. If you’ve got some of your own, please share with the rest of us in the comments!
1. Blog About The Project
If you have your own blog, write a post about your own thoughts on the One Week Job project. Better yet, embed your favourite episodes right in your post and offer your own commentary on what your thought of it.
2. Email Your Friends
Be the first on your blog to discover something new! Write an email to your friends far and wide, telling them about the project, with a link back to the site. There’s no recommendation as powerful as the word of your friend.
3. Email your local newspapers/radio stations
Visit the websites of your local media and ask why they haven’t written up a story or spoken about the One Week Job project yet. If they have, suggest a follow up story and spread the word among the masses!
4. Talk about it around the watercooler
Need something to chat about at lunch? One Week Job is the perfect awkward silence filler. All you have to do is start with, “Did you hear about this guy who’s traveling around working a job a week?”
5. Download the show to your iPod
Did you know you can download One Week Job in you favourite format, and take it with you on your iPod? Watch it in the car, on the bus, and let curious people you meet have a look at the show.
6. Ask your favourite websites to write about it
If you have a few news/entertainment sites you like to visit, why not ask them to write about One Week Job? (Especially if this website happens to be BoingBoing, Steve Pavlina, or Seth Godin).
Once again, thanks to everyone who’s followed Sean’s trip thus far. We hope to entertain, enlighten, and inspire for many weeks to come.
Yes, we gotta spread the word. What better way then the internet. I’ll try and get my everyone to hop aboard.
Hey hey. Well considering I’ve just jumped onto the blogging bandwagon I’d be happy to write a few words. The blog is at http://www.nerdynomad.com by the way… just in case anyone was wondering. Which you weren’t. But in case you were.
Sean I’ll post something on Saturday. Hope you’re enjoying your week with the animals!
Just thought I would leave you a note that I have been promoting your quest on CBC’s Your Comment/View[can't remember for sure which one on one of their topics]the same with The Toronto Star on their web comments,as well as other places and to other reporters.
Also to every young kid I know!!
I believe you have the right idea,to try all kinds of things before settling on something.
It allows you also the chance to travel too!
No sense ending up stuck in a job you will hate or live with the regrets of what ifs…
You might want to put yourself and journey on Citzens Voices.It is our Governor General’s website as it caters to everyone particularly youth around the world.
Good luck in your quest.
