Hello everyone, I just grabbed a cool domain name, pointing to my webhost and installed wordpress. The domain name is related to business. Yeah, it's really a cool domain name. But I got a question here, Where to find blog writer related to my blog? Do you know any? I don't think I'' pay for the work but I can ensure after 3 months I'll find ways to monetize the blog and the writer will get portion out of it. Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance,
A blog writer in the business niche for no money? Not likely. You may get some people to make guest posts for free, but I doubt you'd find any kind of quality writer in the business niche who would blog regularly for you for free, especially when the site has no proven track record. If you were established with a ton of relevant traffic, you might find someone just looking for exposure, but you can't even offer that right now. Blog yourself for a few months. If you can't do that, why are you starting a blog in the first place? Another option would be to start with PLR articles and post them as-is or hire someone to rewrite them (then you won't need someone who knows about business). I write some professional business and finance PLR sets - www.FirstRateContent.com/plr.htm and I know Latoya here offers some good finance ones. Another pro here who has some PLR is DeePower, but I don't recall what niche hers are in.
Seconded Jenn! I don't think so any blogger will work for free, for three months or so at a new site with no exposure. Blogging yourself will be a best option as Jenn has recommended. Further you can also call for bloggers in content creation section here at DP. Probably you'll get someone really good at an affordable price.
Same Thought Here . Any serious blogger would not even think about this thing. When you bought the domain you must have some facts in the mind before buying the domain . Now go ahead with those topics and write in the blog by yourself and when you get some money out of your blog then hire any blog write r in the same niche which you need ..
Yeah - bloggers with substantial knowledge and experience in the business niche would just buy a domain, set up a blog, and monetize the blog on their own. What makes you think it would be lucrative enough to offer them a cut from the profits they themselves generate by filling it up with their own useful content without your help? Logically, they themselves can get 100% from setting up their own blog and filling it up with useful content, right? If you're offering to market the blog for them and establish a business network in order to boost the monetization process, couldn't they do this themselves since they have substantial knowledge and experience in business, right? Since you want something totally dependent on your luck and this month's lunar cycles good luck!
Thanks for everyone who responds and gives some good advices here. Really appreciate that. Basically the domain name just came into my mind and I thought it could be a cool domain name and sonner or later I can sell the domain or if I were to develop the site, I can sell the site as well at the higher price. That's why I bought the domain. But after purchasing it, I thought it'd be cool if I can hire someone who are writing for fun, and not for money and growinf the site. But as what you all have said, it's nearly impossible to find writers who are willing to do such a job. Right now I have two options: 1. If I can get the writer, I'll give him/her rights to do anything he/she wants to grow the site, or; 2. I just park the domain name at sedo etc.2. Thanks again everyone for the advices!
It is sort of possible to find somebody that will work for free in the first place. Like for example somebody with a lot of free time on his hands. A college student, maybe?
Its possible, depending on your topic. If its about games, you can proabably find like an highschool student or something that plays lots of games to blog for you. And give you lets say 50% of all your adsense earnings, given the fact that you will pay for domain and hosting and no cost for him. I can kinda see that working out.
Try reading the post before you respond. The OP very clearly stated it's for a business niche blog. It would be extremely unlikely to find an even remotely reputable business writer who's not writing for the money. Even if they weren't, chances are they'd have the business sense to run their own blog and wouldn't donate their time to someone else's. In that niche, you'll get guest posts from people wanting to promote themselves with credit and links to their sites in the post, but you'd be hard-pressed to find any quality blogger to work on the blog regularly for nothing.
You might try using press releases as content. This is usually encouraged by companies and can be made to look quite natural. A magazine I once worked for made like half the content this way. For the other half...research business news feeds, I bet that there are several you'd be free to use, checking the copyright conditions, of course. And a good PLR pack would give you all the content you need. Not a very useful blog, but if you select your sources well, you might create a useful resource that you can then sell.
O sorry, missed that part. I just took it as business blogging with a glance. Well, you could still find some high school student for business if they are interested in it. The thing with highschool students is that some of them want to do this kind of stuff but don't like taking out money for it, or can't because they don't go credit card or etc.
No high school student would know enough about business to blog about it. In that niche, you have to be an authority source to make anything of the blog. Even most college students can't cut it in that niche.
I second, third, fourth that. The best thing to do would be to start writing yourself. Keeping the posts small should not be a problem. You will find a lot of blog writers, and the market is very competitive as well. You'll find writers for really cheap, but none for free. If you do find someone, please let me know as well, I know I could use a lot of them
You got a point there jhmattern. Not likely but its possible. I only threw that idea out there because I remember this crazy business kid when i was in highschool. He bought stocks and did a whole bunch of stuff.
I think it's great idea, having someone take care of the developing and monetizing, making sure everything is running smoothly as we add our blog posts in. Sent you a PM
Nothing works like inecentivsing your work. Sharing your earnings might get you some blogger. But i would suggest that upfront paid blogger would be better for the job rather than shared revenue system
