By Stephen Turcotte | Published June 9th, 2010
You may have heard that The Balsams Grand Resort Hotel in New Hampshire is searching for one lucky resorter to get paid to lodge, dine, play golf, tennis, kayak, mountain bike, hike and swim for the summer. In return, this social media savvy individual will be asked to document his or her unique experience using various social media platforms.
