Are you a writer? We need solid, locally connected alumni or other interested parties to keep us up to date on community news.

Requirements: You should ideally be a TCHS alumnus, but if you are a current TCHS student with intent to explore journalism as a career, or if you would just like to help us to make this a better magazine, we want to hear from you.

We need one or more representatives to carry the word to San Gabriel Valley merchants and others who are potential advertisers in TCHS Alumni News.

Why should they advertise? We've transmitted over 2.7 million pages to readers at the time we're writing this item in February, 2008, including 34,000 in the past seven days. They have been seen by 1,200 readers in those seven days among over 84,000 total (based on unique 'net addresses). The estimated 15,000 alumni are a growing and perennial repeat clientele for many vendors and organizations.

Why should you sell ads? For two reasons: (1) you can help keep TCHS alumni connected; (2) you can share in ad revenue. Already in the WWW biz? Link your clients' sites to TCHS Alumni News ads and grown their business.

What kinds of ads are available? We have simple banners that can appear in many positions throughout the site, providing links to both internal and external content. Internal content includes full page display ads that you or your client can edit without our intervention. External content can include full-scale websites with complexity up to and including our own, and that can also be user- or rep-maintained. We keep our promise to registered users and do not offer direct mailing.

So you have an opportunity to help us, to help your clients, and to make a buck or two while doing so. Will you become rich beyond your HS hopes? Perhaps not, but you can do well while doing good. Not a bad combination.
