Abstract: Scroll down for content....


*** Start Fluff ***

I've been a forum lurker for a while. I digested all the helpful tips and advice that were floating around. I tried my hand at implementing them and starting my own site...

And I failed -- for lack of trying.

I discovered that while I love writing, making a successful website is more about layout, search engines and marketing than about writing. Content is important, but for every minute spent researching and writing (the good stuff) there are hours spent submitting and selling (the boring stuff). It’s no fun for me that way.

However, I gained a bit of appreciation for the way this business works.

It’s like a sports league. Teams make up the league and players make up the teams, as sites make up the internet and content makes up the sites. And while a site may not make revenue directly from its content (the content will probably be an expenditure), without content the site collapses, and without sites the internet collapses. Without players, there are no team and no league, even though most teams make more money through secondary markets (video games, clothes, replica jerseys, toys, media tie-ins, etc.) than through ticket sales.

I’m not entirely sure what the point of that was, but I figure I can make the content that runs the internet even if I can’t do the actual running. I’m a player, not a manager.

As I’ve seen on this site, article writers can make a bit of cash selling their services to the people who make the sites. Original content is a valuable commodity.

I would have posted this in the ‘Services’ section of the site, but (a) I don’t think what I’m about to offer is a true service and (b) I don’t have enough posts to put this in the proper forum.

*** Start Semi-Fluff ***

I want to see if writing for other people is for me. I know that other writers charge for writing original content, as they should, but I’d like to try my hand at it without the sort of obligation that payment automatically brings.

*** Start Content ***

I want to tackle a few writing assignments for no payment. Any area, topic, or niche is fine.

Drop me a PM or Email if interested.
