World dominance, while inevitable, is often full of pesky details. If you would like to get ahead of the curve and join my Minion Cadre you will be well rewarded(1). Members of the Minion Cadre will receive information on small tasks that would make my life easier and / or accelerate the timeline to my eventual victory.
Example tasks include summarizing books, thinking of cool new domain names or creating a short biography based on web research.
How it works…
- I publish a task either on the blog or to The Minion Times if it’s all exclusive and stuff.
- You inform me that you will be working on that task if it will take significant time, or you simply perform it if you can do it quickly.
- You submit your results via the specialized Minion Tools if necessary, or right in the comments of the blog post if it is a open task.
- If necessary, I will contact you directly to acquire confirmation that you understand this is “work for hire” so that I can be sure of a clear copyright or other title in the case of content I intend to re-publish or similar.
- When the task is complete, I will publish a notice in The Minion Times.
- I might even award points, if I am tracking them, which I won’t promise I am.
That’s it! If you still have questions go read the Minion FAQ!

Note 1: Well rewarded may mean governorship over a continent or unspeakable torture. Frankly, it’s a crap shoot but when I come to power you were eventually going up against the wall anyway so what do you have to lose? What it does not mean is money. Ever. Much more likely than any of those things is the opportunity to get your hands on some cool swag like t-shirts and so on.
Note 2: Special thanks to Tori Deaux at MindTweeks for the germ of the idea from her Helper Mice posts!
