For those who hate to write...
Hi, I am new to the site and see a number of threads mentioning a general dislike by marketers for writing for their blog or website.
A little bio... I am a 55 year old early retiree following 25 years in the IT world, where my responsibilities ran the gamut from programmer, tech writer, project manager, lead performance engineer and senior consultant.
My strengths include strong writing skills, broad-based business knowledge, as well as specific knowledge and interest in the areas of finance, e.g. trading and investment; wealth management; and health and fitness, among others, acquired and honed over a lifetime of interest and study in these areas. I believe I bring a strong work ethic, an innate curiosity and research skill set, and a desire to learn new things, which have served me well in the various facets of my life.
My questions... is it possible to derive a decent cash flow as a writer / editor for blog and website marketers? How would I best go about doing this? What kind of compensation is possible? Where might I get more information about this?
I do have an interest in eventually setting up my own marketing website or blog. In this instance, is it possible to trade my writing skills and effort in exchange for some internet marketing mentoring?
Thanks,
Alan
