I'm an intern for WSJ

WSJ just offered me the chance of a lifetime...be a summer intern as a marketing/pr rep for their paid site. I was giggly as a teenager at the chance.

Here's how it works:  I can work from home or my current offices or any wi-fi spot.  They'll send me, as a blogger, some free content. And if I find it interesting I can blog about it. ( See. It's free. And you can read it too. ) 

I, as an unpaid summer intern, can donate my time, my infinite charm and grace, and celebrated (sic) writing skills for free in spreading their free, but limited, content  and news.  For the good of man, woman, pets, domesticated and wild animals. It's all good. 

Here's where the unpaid summer intern opportunity comes in. Their free content they'll share with me ( as I'm a blogger ) is actually...yes, you got it, possibly free advertising for their paid site. You see if I volunteer to blog about it then I can help generate WOM for their content, their site, hopefully enticing my readers to pay for WSJ's content.

Of course I accepted. It's free content from WSJ! 

I'm so excited to have a summer intern position ...AND with the WSJ, too! Mr. Murdoch, you're not the owner yet, but you will be soon. I want to introduce myself and say I'll work really hard to promote your site for free. Thanks for the opportunity. You won't regret it.
