I will email you tomorrow. I thought we left off with the affiliate store.

Another thing, either tomorrow or very early next week I want to put together a new thread for the writers club (Eden Lit), to try to nail down all the details. Does anyone have anything to add?
fiction/erotica writers? Or just writers?

I could be completely wrong, but I would think the compensation would be for if you were doing something that would involve community participation or something like that, and wanted Eden to provide the materials to the participating members. I've been working on a few theoretical proposals and I haven't been able to come up with anything for compensation either since the things I'm thinking of wouldn't involve any kind of competition, so I didn't see why Eden would be providing the supplies. However, I could still be completely wrong, and I think that's one of those things that will get tweaked as time goes on.

I've been blogging for a couple years on my personal blog, but I started a new one recently. Neither has been overly successful. But I love to do it. I could probably offer advice about finding your passion and the appropriate use of humor in blogging... Something that doesn't always translate well to the written word when offering opinions... Unless you're Jenny.

We are open to suggestion here obviously. But for compensation right now we are talking about cash (check or paypal more realistically), not just Eden Points. So if you are going to do something that will require so $20 in materials and 2 hrs of time, and you then request $40 for you project budget. If the request is reasonable we will pay you (or negotiate I suppose).

That's what I thought, but it seems EF is generous enough to want to compensate anyone who is keeping a club/contest/group activity going regardless of actually cost in order to keep interest in it up and so that it doesn't just disappear in a month or two.

I also hadn't come up with anything yet that was more than just a one time thing that wasn't also something I've spent countless hours doing completely unpaid, so it totally didn't even occur to me about keeping things running long term. I feel silly for not thinking of that, lol

exactly. And yes, I came up with an idea that I would love to see implemented, but as of right now it's not in my hands to implement, so how do I give value to my idea?

Compensation: If you host a workshop you should get paid to do so. There is no hourly rate, but I am guessing that might help everyone out a bit in guessing. For conversation sake, lets say $10/hour. If your project requires you to use 5 hours of your own time to put it together, then you should be paid $50.

Don't worry about the comp. Worry about your idea first.

I like this idea.
Sorry for the delay, trying to settle an IV in my left wrist.

Hmm... well that definitely does give me more of an idea for what I should propose. I'll send that email off to you tonight for you to read at your leisure. Thank you and all wonderful people at EF! How could we not love this site???

We did... and you said you'd go over my proposal and email me the next day, but I forgot until I read "Proposal." so I was just wondering.

Me, too; I just got back from class and totally forgot to check in while I was there.

That's probably a good thing, though

K guys, I'm going to get back to my paper for a bit. I think I'm coming down with something and I'm supposed to drive 4 hours soon...not cool. Gotta get some sleep in too!

Toodles for now!

Do you mean, held? (I am assuming) they will be discussions similar to this meeting on the forum. There will be pictures and maybe video. I would assume the beginning of a workshop would be the host giving the presentation, and then after wards there would be questions and discussion, or after each part of the presentation perhaps.

That is exactly where I'm at. I'd love to just see the idea out there, because I think it's a little different than what most "sex toy" or "romance" companies do, and I think we have the right community here to make it a HUGE success, which would make me terribly happy.

I agree. Sickness isn't fun.
