I came to the conclusion that if I am going to get SciFreak really large and earning money, I am going to need to get more content up than just once a day. However, given the fact I have my studies to worry about (since that is my ultimate goal), I am only capable of getting a post up a day. I probably could get two a day, but with the time spent researching the topic and finding what sounds interesting, it can become slightly time consuming. However, I understand that if I really want to get over the 1000 uniques in a month so that I can get my forum, I really need to get more content up. So, I decided to hire some writers.
The problem when trying to find writers is that you’re unsure whether you’ll find someone that knows what they are talking about, has some background information about the topics and is inexpensive. SciFreak does not have the budget to get an article for $50.00 a piece. I’d love to pay that because the content would be AMAZING. Unfortunately, though, my budget just does not have that in its numbers. So, I am stuck trying to find some people that know what they are talking about and are capable of writing clear and coherent content. I might have found some people.
The first guy has some background in ecological issues which is good. That has to do with biology and since a big topic on my blog is biology, it helps. The fact that he also knows about the other topics on my blogs only makes it so much better. Another guy that contacted me is a chemical engineer, so he knows the chemistry of things which really helps. Granted, they will cost me money, but I feel that if I can post once a day and then I can get their articles as well, I can expect to see double the normal posts. That can only mean great things. So, this month’s getting more content goal is looking good. Let’s hope it lasts!
It takes a lot out of me to write these blog posts. Buy me a beer to cool me off!
