The cry for content?

[A-NAT]

I first want to stress I am new here and new to the whole cyber society. I love the forums but I am still becoming familar with them.

That being said I often read and hear about this endless search from web publishers to find content. There is allegedly never enough. And yet I read on endless forums people who can't write enough and have no where to put there content.

What is the quandary here? Is it simply a fiscal dilemma? Is it as fundamental as people wanting to publish everything for nothing and writers thinking they are going to get a sizable check for providing content?

Can anyone explain this to me?

Because the simple fact is...google loves unique content. And if the articles I mean let's say get top spot in search engine results for competitive keywords, how much do you think the amount of money would be generated out of adsense and affiliates.

It could be anywhere up to few hundreds a day.

Yes I understand why hosts and providers want content. To attract or maximize traffic to their sites or use of their services.

But if it is worth so much why is it so hard to find and pay steady writers? I mean that is what a newspaper and magazine would do.

I think I just answered my own question. A newspaper and magazine have a slightly different expectation and reputation to uphold. So they will pay for a writer that can deliver a steady and competent level of content.

Online you can sucker millions of writers like us to flood the market with content. And they can maximize traffic for practically nothing. And if it is good writing than that is icing on the cake.

Am I getting it now?

If a good writer throws some good articles out there or good forum posts great. And if that writer says to himself "I'm not doing this for nothing anymore" no one will care because there are millions of new writers jumping on board to see what they can get out of it.

I don't quite get it what you are trying to say here. But one thing that holds true is that once you find yourself a profitable niche with strong serp for important keywords, then practically you can just sit back and watch the money grow.

I am trying to say it seems that the opportunities don't match the demand. I have yet to find a place where I can make a solid amount of money for my articles.

Based on what you just posted though, I am beginning to think I am just too new at this and just haven't found the right sites. Or that I just do not know enough abou writing and the internet.

What more can you tell me?

[hwang]

If you have unique articles, you can always sell across forums or either way use a web based auction sites like [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] which offers different reward programs. One based on reward and another upfront cash reward. However, the limitation is that this one caters more for US.

I just find that selling across forums is easier but only setback is beware of scammers.

Well good for me that I live in the good 'ole USA.

You have been quite helpful thanks. I will continue to learn I'm sure.
