- The chance to network with peers, to exchange ideas and to get feedback.
- Editing by peers as requested or needed (every post gets viewed by an experienced editor before going live).
- A community of writers.
- A cost-free homepage and blog that you don't have to create; a smart way to market yourself at a time when no job in the creative arts is secure or sacred.
- A place to mirror your website or blog and generate additional interest.
- A share of the profits generated by your posts.
- A site that's prepared to evolve with the interests of its contributors and technology.
- A site that hasn't been accused of conspiring with repressive governments that consider freedom of expression a crime and, moreover, a promise from Mighty Mercury to stand up and protect the privacy and interests of such artists in our fold.
- The promotion of your posts through several other channels, including e-newsletters, Twitter and Facebook.
- The opportunity to publish work that otherwise might never see the light of day.
Overall, the idea of Mighty Mercury is to help artists maintain and grow a presence online -- not to be the only outlet for their work.
In order to make Mighty Mercury profitable for contributors -- an aim we think is possible given our pool of talent -- it is possible we'll cap our selective membership at some point in the near future.
