How to follow up with a potential person that could help me gain employment at a top magazine?
I met a former editor of two magazines last week and talked to them for a while. I got his contact information, but I have no idea what to email or send to this person, because I don't have a lot of experience yet working with writing to be asking or an internship or anything. But I'd still like to send them an email to let him know I'm still interested in connecting with him in the future. What should I send/email him?
Answer:
Ask if he knows of newspaper that need or support and intern program. Find out what qualifications you are expected to have for that (intern program)
How to pitch an idea to an editor about writing about procrastination among college students?
What can I say for them to let me write about that in their magazine? (Query letter)
Answer:
Read the mag's submission guidelines and see how to submit to them. You might have to write the article first and submit it to them for consideration.
You usually don't write a query letter for something that short. You usually send a proposal for what you want to write (before you actually write it) or you send them the whole written piece.

How to sell a video? If I capture an important event and news stations want to air it?
How does that work. Do they offer me a couple hundred for the rights and then they turn around a sell it to other news organizations and make bank. Can I sell them to use it, but retain the rights if other news organizations want to use it.
Answer:
Make a list of the different websites that allow videographers to upload their footage and sell it. Examples include ecofootage.com, istockphoto.com, stockxpert.com and shuttershock.com. Look for websites that have a nonexclusive agreement, which means you can sell your video footage at other websites as well. This makes it possible for you to make more money since you are not tied to just one website. Also, look for websites that offer at least a 40 percent royalty on every sale of your video footage; this will also help maximize how much money you can make selling your video footage.
Choose one or two websites from your list that have the best rates and will allow you to make good money selling your clips. If you are happy with their terms, upload your video clips to them. One example of terms might be a 20 percent royalty with an exclusivity bonus, meaning you get a monetary bonus added to the 20 percent if you only sell your video footage through that website. Another example would be a nonexclusive agreement with a 35 percent royalty. Payment may be a bit less when the agreement is nonexclusive because the website you've downloaded your video footage to knows it may sell less copies due to the fact that the same video footage may be posted on other websites.
How to stop getting Yahoo Contributor Network editorials in my news feed?
I find "Yahoo Contributor Network" stories to be little more than mindless blogger posts, and do not care for the editorial opinions expressed in them. How do I set it so I do not have these Contributor Network editorials turning up in my news feeds where they do not belong?

How to start off a paper with a good introduction?
Writing about art. What's a good phrase that I can start it off with? An attention grabber. But not overused.
Answer:
That will depend on what kind of art you are writing your paper on and the further topic and content of your article.
You should first write or have a general outline of the content of the article and only then think about a catchy introduction. You don't give us much to work with, but let's say you are doing your article about 21st art. Then the opening line could be as follows:
"Throughout time, art has transformed into many ways it could possibly be. Like man, it has gone through different eras, facing the biggest challenges of life."
Good luck with your inspirational artistic skills.
