Alicia Arkwright
First of all, what exactly is your job?
Shelbie Wilson
My job is to create posts, not especially about colored sports. We can have a large imagination and we can make a lot of different posts. Personally, my missions it's to create at least 4 posts/month so it's not really difficult to fill my deadline. But, other members of the team do blogs for World of Potter UK.
Max Paige
My job with the Social Media is to provide one blog a week, be interactive in chat, and be a role model on the site in general!
Estrella Vangelsön
My job is to create posts for WoP UK's social medias and also to write and code blogs that are posted on the site
Isabela Zimri
My job is the Social Media Team! Being a boysen means you have to create either social media posts (designing and writing captions for them) or blogs (coding and writing them), or even both!
Alicia Arkwright
What made you apply to be part of the SoMe team?
Shelbie Wilson
Well, I think this job is really cool, we can create a lot of things and I am creative. I love social media, especially Instagram so I thinked I can have my chance if I apply! And now, see, I am in the social media team!
Max Paige
I had an idea about making wizarding cards for the users of WOP UK. I was wondering whether to do this as a club or a team, and realized it might make a fun blog, so I applied.
Estrella Vangelsön
It was you (Alicia) who first proposed and motivated me to apply. This job is a job that interested me although I didn't know much about it, so I went to read the requirements and what was needed in the application. Creating blogs and posts is something I was very interested in, so I started and sent my application.
Isabela Zimri
I applied for SoMe team because I believed it would be a really fun experience that didn’t feel like a chore — I would be working with amazing people and doing things that I like! I wanted to provide the people on the site interesting things to read and bring people to enjoy the magic and fun of WoP UK.
Alicia Arkwright
How did you feel when you found out you were accepted to the team, and how did it feel when you arrived?
Shelbie Wilson
I can't believed I was hired! It was soo amazing to have this news. I had a bad day in my real life and Daphee send me the message saying that if I was still motivate I was accepted in the Social Media Team. It's soo cool to see when our application had been taken.
Max Paige
When I was accepted to the group, I was absolutely thrilled! I already had so many ideas, and I felt like I was at home right away. The girls that I work with, as well as Daphne, are incredible and we really feel like a close-knit team now!
Estrella Vangelsön
The answer came very early, the next morning. I was really happy, especially because it was my first job on a WoX. I went to spam you (still Alicia I might add) with messages like "I GOT THE JOB".
Isabela Zimri
I felt amazing when I was offered the job and was super excited to get started! When I got my color and got into the club, I loved everything and almost immediately jumped into what I had to do XD
Alicia Arkwright
How do you find your story ideas and inspiration?
Shelbie Wilson
I don't have a giant list with 1001 ideas, no, sometimes I have some inspiration. I work on Canva so I see which design can be the better and I choose it. After, I reflect at the theme of my post and when I have inspiration I work on my post to do it as possible the most beautiful possible
Max Paige
I’ll be honest, my blog is pretty simple! What I do is post the requirements for the wizarding cards on my Wall. I then hunt the Great Hall for victims… I mean volunteers… who have always wanted to be on a wizarding card! Then they send the information to me in an Owl! If I don’t have any submissions by Thursday, then I will specifically message someone that I haven’t worked with yet!
Estrella Vangelsön
I get a lot of inspiration from car journeys. I'm writing this interview in the car. When I'm in the car I have a lot of ideas and I spam my notes.
Alicia Arkwright
Of all the blogs you've written and/or posts you've created, which is your favorite?
Shelbie Wilson
Mine, of course! It's a joke, of course. Well, I can't choose my favorite! Firstly, they are all different and generally, I love what I am doing so I can't choose one of my work!
Max Paige
Well, if I picked a favourite posts that would be kind of bad, ‘cause I love to learn the stories behind every character on WOP UK. I do particularly like learning about what our members are doing once they graduate from Hogwarts.
Estrella Vangelsön
I've just arrived so I haven't made many blogs or posts but my favourite blog was probably the first one, Dig into their pockets with Ron Weasley.
Isabela Zimri
Since I have only one blog up so far, I would say my favorite post is the Transfiguration class one. I’m very proud of it and it’s just pleasing to the eye for me :p
Alicia Arkwright
How do you find the time to create your blogs and publish them? What is your favorite thing about your job?
Shelbie Wilson
I am young so I have a lot of time for this job. Maybe wednesday is the best afternoon to work on posts. And, when you have imagination, the work is quickly done and you have some time for your real life! My favorite thing about my job is to create a lot of things, I can progress if I have advice of other members and I can be better when I create other posts.
Max Paige
Thankfully, creating blogs doesn’t take much time! I usually use default backgrounds now according to which house the person is representing. I usually try to get the card done by Friday, or Saturday morning at the very latest. My favourite thing about the job is hearing the backstories, and current stories, about each character on WOP UK, and I’ve sometimes made some pretty good friends and connections because of my interviews with them!
Estrella Vangelsön
I often write them after class, so I have some time between that and lunch. Sometimes it's after lunch. My favourite thing about this job is probably the people in the team who are really amazing and lovely
Isabela Zimri
I write them during my free time, or at least when I’m procrastinating my school work. This is tough cause I love everything about it but I would say the people. They’re the ones that make my experience as awesome as possible and help me every step of the way. Everybody loo
Alicia Arkwright
What is THE word that best describes your team?
Shelbie Wilson
One word? So complicate.... I think the BEST word is: INCREDIBLE. My team is incredible, this job is incredible, all things are incredible!
Max Paige
I know it sounds incredibly cheesy, but “Family”. We really are like a family, and Daphne leads us all with such wisdom and grace. She is always available when we need to talk to her about our blogs, or even just to vent. She’s been a great shoulder to lean on, and a wise woman to look up to. The other girls in the team have been kind of jokingly called “Max’s Angels”, because I am the only boy on the team. They really are angels, each and every one of them. No matter what, we are always available for each other to message.
Estrella Vangelsön
AMAZING ❤
Isabela Zimri
Oooh hmm, there’s a lot of words to describe them.. Amazing would be the word! Everyone on the team amazes me with how cool their blogs and posts are. They are so hardworking and kind and it’s amazing.
Alicia Arkwright
What would you say to someone who is hesitant to apply to be a boysens?
Shelbie Wilson
Be creative and be the most honest as possible. Show in your application you can be the perfect person for this job. And, the most important, have confidente in yourself!
Max Paige
Definitely consider applying! If you even just have a small idea, you can work on it with Daphne! We have a lot of fun in the discord channel, and whenever we see each other in the Great Hall, it feels like a family reunion! We’d love to have more! Even if you’re boy, I can share my angels with you! :D
Estrella Vangelsön
Don't hesitate, go apply, you have nothing to fear, it's really a great experience with amazing people!
Isabela Zimri
If you think boysen is the job for you, you should totally apply! If you’ve got the passion and of course meet the requirements, don’t be afraid to apply! We would love to have you!
And that's it the blog is now coming to an end thanks to the wonderful boysensberries for taking the time to answer all my questions! I hope you enjoyed it and have a marvelous day ♡
