    Hi

    A little help needed here.

    I know programming HTML, some PHP, MySQL and other stuff, I've been playing with building websites for 3 years during my spare time, but not for others, only for me (about 10 right now). I am moderately successful with Adsense as the only source of income ($xxx)

    Now, I'm kind of confused about what to do next. I have lots of ideas on building websites on different topics, but the main problem is the content - I'm kind of lazy at writing original articles by myself - I already did that for 2 years and wrote everything I could in a particular field I know best and was passionate about but it's not that fun anymore as it was then.

    So what should I do next? I could open up a website offering my services as a webmaster/webdesigner, but I fear the market is already filled up and couldn't break through. Is it?
    I could set up new websites with original content but I find it very time-consuming. On the other hand, hiring someone to write several tens of articles would involve money which I wouldn't want to spend as the success is unsure.

    Any suggestions?

    You could try a link directory or a forum - Then you don't have to add original content :)

    I got two hints/tips for you, well actually 3. I was in thesame problem as you are right now.

    - 1. Start writing, try it out, it's not that hard, just put in your agenda days that you are going to write and then do it! Cause if you learn, you will be able to do alot more yourself!

    - 2. Hire writers, if you need any good source, let me know!

    - 3. Offer your services as a webmaster, that's something you can always do! People will find you if you do your best, you could even start out locally by doing some work for companies in your region and then slowly do more and more!
