Help Wanted: Curate this forum (part-time, paid)
I'm new here: hundreds of topics, thousands of posts ... it's overwhelming.
So I'm looking for a curator to read and condense posts here.
Then send me a weekly “digest” by email – just a few pages – along the lines of “Readers' Digest” magazine.
I'll provide a list of topics of interest to me.
Examples: glycine and coconut oil, yes, but not Israel Palestine or whatever else is the mainstream news du jour.
I'll ask for all the drivel to be removed.
Every public forum has endless drivel.
Easy to identify and delete, but takes time to do that.
Then distill down to essential 10% of the topic.
Eliminate the wordy, wandering style that is so common on public forums.
Pay?
PayPal or a bank check in the mail – up to you.
Amount? We'll have to discuss, because this is very unusual kind of work.
Not a lot: you won't get rich doing this, but you can get paid for reading this forum.
And I'll send money to you frequently, so you needn't worry about getting paid by a stranger far away.
Qualifications?
1 – Clear thinking
2 – Fluent English (but not required that English be perfect, or even be your first language)
3 – Ability to cut-and-paste. (Or more accurately: cut, cut, cut, and then paste)
And that's about it.
I don't care at all if you have a PhD in molecular biology.
In fact, probably a disadvantage.
(Dr. Peat's writing style was … well ... I admire his ideas, but I would not hire him for this job.)
I'm looking for clear, concise writing.
So if you studied “Strunk and White” in high school or college, that would be a big plus.
Your questions are welcome on any aspect of this.
Questions will help me to refine my idea of hiring a personal curator for this forum.
Thank you.
