Here on the CAST Team Blog we are in need of a few volunteers to fill up our various teams. Most of the time commitments are small since we try very hard to share the duties. Many of the positions only require volunteers to post one post per month. We even welcome Guest Bloggers to submit one-time posts.
I'm so grateful to our volunteers. They do such a good job despite the fact that their only "payment" is all the special comments you leave for them and a few links back to their Etsy Shops. They are a wonderful team.
Sunday Scripture: 
Join the Sunday Scripture team who alternate weeks to post a scripture with some sort of photo(s). Adding your own devotion or commentary is optional.

Monday Devotional:
This is for those with a writing gift. We have volunteers for 4 weeks a month, but we need someone to fill in as an alternate once in a while and to do the post for the occasional 5th Monday in a month. Usually our alternate will have one draft waiting and ready to publish when needed.

Wednesday Featured Artist:
No special skills required except a little attention to detail and basic blogger know how. Our posts have a set format with questions that our featured artists answer and there is a calendar schedule to show which volunteer will write about which artist when. This is a very important part of what we do as a team to support each other.

Friday Finds:
I think this is a fun one. Our volunteers alternate weeks and pick a theme (or not) and several great CAST Team items to feature. Commentary is optional.

Saturday CAST Shop of the Week:
This is also quite fun. You get to pick which CAST Shop to feature and prepare a simple post using an Etsy mini widget, an item photo and a set format. I'm doing this on my own right now, but would love a helper.


Recipe of the Month:
We have two lovely ladies sharing this duty already, but they'd welcome some help since we only use uncopyrighted recipes--old family recipes, recipes that they've come up with themselves or adapted. Each month one of them prepares and photographs the recipe for our hungry blog followers to see. If you have special skills in this area we'd love the help.

Business Topics:
If you would like to write an occasional brief post about some Etsy business topic--take your pick--we'd love to have someone who would do this!

Guest Bloggers:
We welcome guest bloggers! Just contact me with your idea for a post and I'll guide you on how to proceed.

We have an official CAST Blog Team, but I would like to encourage other CAST members to submit relevant articles to our blog. Contributing to our blog will give you a link to your shop which helps with your Search Engine Optimization and promoting your business. It also helps drive more traffic to our team blog and helps us promote each other.

Please keep in mind:

 It doesn't need to be a theological dissertation or in-depth business post. We take recipes, business success ideas, tutorials, how-to's and more.
* Because our team is large and diverse, articles must not be political or "judgmentally" denominational in nature.
* Copyright laws must be obeyed.
* Pictures are always good!

If you have an idea for an article, please contact me for pre-approval.

Also:


If you know of any CAST team noteworthy event such as team members who have gotten a chance to meet in person, someone who opened a brick and mortar store, gallery openings for team members, etc. please let me know. I'd love to announce them on our blog!


And:


Occasionally we need to fill spots on our blog team. If you are interested let me know.


Thanks!

Sue
