"She held her grief behind her eyes like an ocean & when she leaned forward into the day it spilled onto the floor & she wiped at it quickly with her foot & pretended no one had seen."

Life As A Human is an online magazine that comments on, critiques & celebrates the experience of being human. It will feature the collective efforts of a limited number of international writers who will contribute their unique insights on all varieties of the human experience. Our specialty is quality, not quantity. We are not a news aggregator, nor are we interested in sensationalism. Rather, we’re interested in original and thoughtful commentary.

We’re at the beginning where all exciting ventures start and we’re inviting you -- one of a limited number -- to be one of our authors and take part in this amazing adventure.

Our compensation model is designed to pay you royalties based on a percentage of the revenue generated through some of our various business activities. These include revenue generated through advertising, the creation and sale of e-books, print books, certain affiliate programs and more. As well, in consideration of your monthly submissions, we will pay you a monthly advance on these royalties.

It’s our philosophy to support our authors by letting them focus on what they like to do: write. We’ll take care of the technology, marketing, search engine optimization, hosting, social media and so forth. We have a team of technologists, business people, editors, sales and marketing professionals and social media experts who are dedicated to promoting your writing at Life As A Human. This is a strong team of internet pioneers who have built several successful companies online and who are contributing to make Life As A Human a major new player in the Internet media world.

It is possible for individual bloggers to do well on their own, but it requires hard work and multiple skill sets. One author might generate a few hundred thousand page views a month after a few years of effort developing a blog, creating a market, and hiring people for marketing, social media, SEO, hosting, blog configurations, programming, research, etc; but we are taking on a limited number of authors and have a team of professionals to do all that heavy lifting for them. If we harness all of that energy and bring it together, we believe that we will generate many millions of page views a month and quickly become one of the elite sites on the internet.

Unlike other collective blogging sites that try to get as many authors as possible fighting on a competition basis for the revenue generated, we are an exclusive site with a limited number of handpicked authors.

We are taking the approach that original and exciting writing will generate readership and that over time we can create a wonderful hub of activity with millions of page views that will generate income for the authors.

Life As A Human is launching in February of 2010. It will take a few months to generate the page views necessary for reasonable financial returns as the online advertising business responds to traffic and not to abstractions. We therefore will be able to pay your advance on royalties and grow your revenue, but it will take a few months of activity before revenue begins to mount. We are confident in the extreme that we will succeed!

As part of our select group, we will keep you apprised of your page views and site development, and we will promote the heck out of your writing.

We’re in it together; that is, if you would like to be a part of the team. If so, please let us know and we’ll send our compensation and writers agreements back to you for your consideration.
