FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec 15, 2009 -
Cincinnati-based OurTown.com, a hyper-local news and information site has announced plans to expand its coast-to-coast coverage of community sites early in 2010.  OurTown.com currently has Local Editors in every major  state including Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan , Florida, and California.

“OurTown.com also will be eliminating its monthly licensing fee to eliminate any barriers to start up and speedy acceleration to financial success  “We are recruiting top quality people to act as Local Editors.  With OurTown, these Local Editors are able to start their own small businesses,” said Carol Meinhardt, OurTown, COO.

“We have begun to see an increase in the number and quality of our Local Editors.  We see a definite lack of real hyper-local content on the Web and we are convinced that these highly motivated Local Editors can fill this void,” said Chris Burnett, OurTown.com’s Marketing Manager.  

OurTown is unique. Local Editors sign up to represent their “hometown.” These Local Editors are encouraged to write news articles, commentary on local issues, and information pertinent to their town.  While the task for the Local Editor is much like writing a standard blog, OurTown.com Local Editors actually run their own business, a virtual community newspaper.  Successful Local Editors can generate substantial income by sharing national advertising revenue generated from their website and by selling local advertising to businesses in their community.  

A Local Editor can earn a healthy extra income or even operate a full-time business doing what so many Internet-savvy people are doing every day…sharing their thoughts and opinions with the world.  

ABOUT OURTOWN.COM

OurTown.com is a privately-owned Cincinnati-based company, created and developed by “news junkies.”  Based on the premise that “feet on the street” will differentiate OurTown.com from other hyper-local sites that are merely aggregators of other content.  OurTown encourages its Local Editors to ferret out micro-local news stories, solicit the opinions of their friends and neighbors and give neighborhood businesses, charitable organizations, schools and churches a forum for distributing information and news that is pertinent to the people in their community.
