Most of my articles now are for my self and my sites. I don't find the time for them too much since I have to design sites and sell hosting, but I try to allocate some more time
I find myself writing very little for my own projects. I have a few little blogs that I use to write a good bit for that have become a little less than dead to the world. Which is sad, as I am building a small list with that site. But as i get a control over my time, a few more tools to make blogging a bit easier, I've found that I can actually write a little bit more for myself. Maybe around an article or two a week, and a blog post every other day. Doesn't sound too impressive, but I'm working on it..
I tried content writers for several different projects and it was never 'just right'. My vision wasn't exactly emulated properly so I would end up not using the articles. As a result, I write all the content for any of my sites that require it. That way the only person I can be disappointed with is myself.
