Check it out, I’m a DZone MVB (Most Valuable Blogger)!

 

Thanks to the DZone team for approaching me and for getting everything setup and running…

More importantly THANK YOU to everyone I curate. It’s YOUR outstanding content, your excellent work and information, it’s your shoulders I stand on. I hope this step brings us all fame and fortune! (okay… a few more clicks and visits anyway… ;)

DZone - DZone Most Valued Blogger (MVB) Program

“What is DZone's MVB program?

DZone's MVB program builds mutually beneficial partnerships with community bloggers and authors whose articles would likely be of interest to our audience. The program streamlines and simplifies the process of reprinting selected articles by MVB members onto DZone Network websites. This is a win-win scenario for both the MVB member and the DZone audience, connecting them with one another in ways that otherwise might not have occurred. The MVB member enjoys substantially increased visibility, and the DZone audience enjoys great content. Best of all, the process is extremely convenient for MVB members since DZone takes care of all the work.

What do I have to do?

Being a MVB member is easy. We ask nothing more from you than to continue doing what you do best, writing quality articles for readers as we continue to provide the well known DZone platform for your articles to gain tremendous exposure and recognition. With that in mind, we would like to ask for your permission to allow DZone to selectively repost full length articles that you have published on your blog, website, and any articles you provide to us. Additionally, we will always provide attribution and include a reference link back to your blog or website.

What do I get out of it?

MVB is a neat role that does not demand responsibility with nice benefits in status, visibility, privileges and cool schwag. As a token of our appreciation, we’d send you special MVB care packages, which include unique DZone goodies and cool schwag. As an MVB, you are also encouraged to join our Refcardz review committee. Refcardz review committee members will gain early access to new Refcardz as they are published, a chance to give us feedback on what you like and don’t like, as well as a chance to voice suggestions for new topics.
