Design Team Call

WELCOME TO CRAFTER'S CASTLE DT CALL

Requirements:

You must live in the United States (Sorry, this requirement has to do with sponsors that can't ship out of the country).  HOWEVER....if you are international and would be interested in being a Guest Designer just participating in a month we have digital products...please apply and let me know where you are from and that you are interested in that option.

You must be 18 years old or older.

You will be committing to a 6 month term, July-Dec 2018.

You must have an active YouTube channel AND active blog.

You will be making 2 projects a month showcasing the sponsors products.  You need to feature them in YouTube videos and blog posts.  Depending on the theme of the month it could be cards or any craft that fits the theme (including mixed media, mini albums, scrapbooking, 3D projects, etc).

You must be willing and able to post your projects in several craft related Facebook groups, Pinterest, Instagram, and other social medias.  Entering other challenges with your projects is encouraged.  All of these things brings more viewers to your YouTube channel and blog which is good for YOU, not just the team and sponsors.

We will be taking turns commenting on challenge entries.

You need to be able to take quality pictures of your projects.

Facebook is a must as that is how our team will be communicating with each other and all team info will be posted there as well.  We have a private team group.  Communication is a must!!!

You MUST be responsible, on-time, conscientious, a team player, and a communicator.  No drama.  I want us to be a happy team that works well together and is supportive of each other.  I want our sponsors to be proud us and love what we do.

What's in it for you:

You will receive products from our sponsors.  Some will be digital products and some will be physical products...it just depends on who the sponsor is.

You will be working with a variety of sponsors and their products....not just one company....variety is a good thing.

I will teach you how to promote your YouTube channel and blog so not only will our sponsors get more exposure but YOUR YouTube channel and blog will get more exposure!

You will get exposure on Crafter's Castle blog and on team members blog posts.

You will have a crafty family support group.

This DT Call is open March 1-31, 2018
If all goes as planned, the team will be notified by April 15.

Anyone interested in trying out for the team please send the following information to me, Janie, at 
4crafterscastleATgmailDOTcom

Put DT CALL in the subject line.

Send:

Links to your blog and YouTube channel

Links to your Pinterest, Instagram, and other social medias

Link to your Facebook

3-5 pictures of your projects that best represent you

A short bio so I can get to know you and your crafting history

Previous and current design team experience

Tell me why you want to be on the team, what you have to offer the team, and what you hope to get from the team.

Thank you for your interest in joining Crafter's Castle Challenge DT.
