Greetings and Salutations -

I hope you're all enjoying all that August has to offer you! We only get an August once a year. Treasure its special gifts! For me August means a constant stream of flitting hummingbirds at my window, which brings me enormous joy. I am so content all day long, and all because it's August :)

Please take a moment to help out with these two editor-related projects!

HELPING EDITORS
Many editors are writing to say they need help creating a website, creating banners, editing their ebook, and so on, and that they're happy to pay for that help. They don't know who to ask for help. If you have a skill of any kind and would be willing to help out for some spare change, please post in our Editor Swap forum -

It could be any skill at all. Some editors need coaching. Some need help prioritizing. Some need graphic help. Whatever you can do, post here so other editors know who to contact. And of course if you need help, post here as well. Together we can all help each other succeed!


RECRUITING TRAINEES
Our list of open sites can be found here -

http://www.bellaonline.com/misc/joinus/join_topics.asp

We'd of course like to get these sites filled - it helps all of us out! The more activity our site has, the more all of us get higher rankings.

If you're a fully graduated editor and would like to take on a second site, we'd love to have you apply!

Please forward the open site information to your various lists, family, and friends as well. August is a perfect time for many people to start up a new project, as kids are going back to school and schedules reset from summer status.

If you have any suggestions about polishing the wording in our "join us" area, or on how to draw in more applicants, I'd love to hear them!
