Hello and thanks for reading my post.

I am looking for some people that are willing to write articles... either news related... informational... or whatever... For a business site targeted towards youth entreprenuers, anywhere from 12 years old and up.

I would also be willing to listen to anyone that has any ideas on the subject, or anything else that you think you could contribute to the site, from services, to software.... whatever you think would be useful.

I am not offering to pay anyone, but proper recognition will be given. This is still in the early stages of development so I can't promise much right now, but it may be possible to get a lot of benifits out of this such as free hosting, having your website listed on this one... Acess to anything we may provide....

I am not looking for people to work totally free, but I can't pay anyone at this time.

It's rough to be a content provider. Murder getting anyone to pay anything.

On that subject, it's really unfair and difficult to writers to expect them to work for free.

That seems to be the prevailing attitude lately, not just on the internet but in print media as well, even among large publications.

I guess I'm just saying that if anyone could do it, then they wouldn't need to hire other people to write it. A writers words are valuable and deserve payment.

That having been said, when one is just starting out, it is worthwhile to do free work for recognition to build up a nice resume. Once that has been accomplished, you have to move on... if the writings is good enough, you hope to get what you deserve for it.

What the heck is my point? Oh yes... you get what you pay for. Really experienced will not work for free. What you may get if you are lucky is people with talent who are just starting out. These people will only write for you until they gain experience, then it is no longer to their benefit to continue doing so.

Point being, if you don't pay, you may find it difficult to get quality work.

I am not looking for writers per say.

I am looking for anyone that would like to contribute their wisdom, or lack there of to a new community.

I wish to offer a large resource of information and tools to be available to entreprenuers, and those aspiring to become one.

As I said, if this community grows, the main writers or content providers could work into a situation where money would be involved, but not as of yet.

Are you looking for people who will be able to do a weekly article? Or is this a one-time article thing?

I may be interested, but it depends on what level of commitment.

I am 25 years old and in the middle of setting up my third corporation. So I do have a lot of insight for young people starting in business. 1st corp I built then sold. 2nd, still running, but have a buyer already. 3rd....I want to keep this one for awhile (10 to 15 years) unless someone offers me a TON of a TON of money.....

Anyway, post how much of a commitment you are looking for....I am sure I am not the only one wondering this...

I am looking for any level of commitment you are willing to offer.

If you would like to write a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly artice, that would be excellent, something that comes in on a regular basis would probably end up in a newsletter...

If you want to write a one time story, or how-to, or whatever you want, that would be great too.

No commitment is required to contribute to this, but any commitment you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
