I'd advise you to start by creating something useful for freelance writers. Maybe some articles giving tips on how they can improve their writing skills, make more money from writing articles, etc. If you could create a really useful tool that would help writers that would be really great. Try to do something a little bit extra. If you help the community, the community will help you. If your site is useful, people will like it, visit it a lot and submit lots of articles to you.

My advice stay away from making another article directory. There are so many these days unless your providing something original you will just be another article directory. If your going to make one, make sure you provide something useful and unique. Many people think they can make a fortune by creating a article directory and slapping adsense on the pages, but what the fail to realize is that all the articles are just duplicate content. You could have 30,000 articles and barley get any traffic. Since these 30,000 article also exist on 40 other article sites. Over the past 2 years I have over 30 different article directories start and fail, normally the webmaster realizes they can’t make as much as they thought and the sell it. Just search Sitepoint’s for sale area for “article directory†http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/search.php?searchid=2295143 This is just a small sample of the sites people sell. That's my advice.... but best of luck no matter what path you choose.
then the question is this. is there any software that can dictect any duplicate article.i just want only original articles on my site. how can i do that? kingsley
Kingsley, Try copyscape.com to find duplicate text. You might try something different than an article directory. It's a really crowded with new websites.
