Earn £10k per month Tweeting!
Hopefully that got your attention. Imagine living in the heart of California USA, surrounded by the most spectacular vineyards and restaurants. Imagine for a second a world with no rent, no mortgages and no rush hour traffic. Imagine being paid to write about your experiences as a wine maker and broadcasting the results to a thirsty army of Twitter followers. This is the reality of a £10k per month job position advertised in Sonoma County, California. This is definitely sounds too good to be true...
Murphy-Goode Winery in Sonoma County is offering one successful (and extremely lucky!) applicant the opportunity to live this dream lifestyle in return for updating the company Twitter and Facebook accounts. This wonderful opportunity has been labelled as ‘winery life-streaming’, and the position is being advertised from today!
According to one San Francisco citizen blog post, this is not a joke, but there is going to be some seriously stiff competition this morning, when eager applicants descend upon a busy San Francisco office block to stake their claim. However, please do not be deterred, the post is not exclusive to residents of the Californian persuasion. The forward thinking boozers at Murphy-Goode are also allowing eager potential candidates the opportunity to post a one minute video application online. You want me to provide a link? Are you having laugh?
Apparently, “Throughout the course of the job the successful applicant will learn about viticulture, winemaking, Sonoma County and Murphy-Goode wines. He or she will prepare and post dispatches on their experiences though social media tools such as Facebook, blogs, internet videos and Twitter as well as traditional media.” Seriously, where is my video camera?
Although this is being touted as a dream position, it is also an incredibly astute and far reaching public relations master stroke. A position offered by the Australian tourist board earlier in the year, gave one lucky punter the chance to make £100k per year by blogging about experiences on the Great Barrier Reef. This provided a much needed boost to dwindling tourist numbers and Murphy-Goode will be anticipating a similar response.
