Hey everyone,

We at Media Match are excited to reintroduce our promotion. If you are an unpaid registered member of Media Match and own a blog or website, you can get one month of paid membership for FREE. Don’t have an account yet? Sign up, and get your profile running for free, here!

How does it work?

If you are a registered Media Match member and you have a personal blog or website, this will be quite easy for you. Simply write in your blog about Media Match and include a link to our site. A couple of possible blog post ideas include a short or detailed description of the site, how Media Match has helped you in your job hunt, an informative wiki-like profile of our site, or you can write a review about Media Match.

If you don’t have a blog yet, there are plenty of free blog providers that you can join, including Blogger, WordPress, TypePad, LiveJournal, and many more.

Have a website, but no blog? No problem! Just write about us on one of your pages, refer people back to us, and link back to our site.

You can link to the Media Match Homepage, but it may be more useful for your readers if you linked to the jobs board page at http://www.media-match.com/jobsboard.php. But, if you feel we have a page on our site more relevant to your readers, feel free to link back to that page instead (ie, the “About Us page“). (Remember, the link has to be clickable. To do this on most blogging platforms, highlight the text you want to make a link, click the icon that looks like a globe with a chain link in front of it, then press OK or DONE).

Once you have your blog post up, send us the following to blog_promo@media-match.com:

1. Your Media Match username (click here to sign up for free)
2. Your website or blog’s URL with the posting about Media Match

Also, if you know anyone in the TV & Film industry that is not with Media Match currently, why not tell them about this promotion? It’s a great opportunity for non members to try out Media Match at no cost. Just have them sign up for a free account at the freelancer registration page to get started!

If you are an unpaid registered member and a part of the mailing list, you got a head start on this promotion. For everyone else, this promotion will last from today, February 8, 2010 until March 8, 2010. Members who qualify for the free one month’s subscription will be contacted by email.

Thanks, everyone!
Media Match
