Has anyone ever thought of starting a business supplying content to website owners? It`s a viable model. I have written for ConstantContent and have sold some articles. My thought is that maybe an individual could contract with site owners to offer fresh content on a regular basis. Maybe a subscription model?

I do a lot of copywriting for existing and new clients as part of my own business, but not as a separate writing-only business. The content gets used on websites, brochures, whatever.

I know people who do nothing but copywriting, however.

Interesting idea.  I struggle to write a 4 page newsletter each month and sometimes wish there was a big pot of articles (besides Ezine articles) that I could draw from.   I know writing is what keeps a lot of business owners from sending out regular newsletters.

At Constant Content you just tell the writers what kind of article you need and then they write. They set their prices and you choose to buy or not to buy.A good writer who can research well can do very well at the site. Someone who is good could possibly make a viable business like that.

I could see that as a business. I did some SEO writing on a contract basis, and although it was stunningly boring, there`s a need for it. Since poor content is a major difficulty with so many Web sites, seems like there`d be a need for better content there as well.

Yes, It is indeed a viable thing to do. Although it will be more like self-employement than business if you don`t Leverage it. That means, if you were to sit down and write 100 articles all by yourself, your income earning potential is truncated by all that time spent on it.

However, if you can hire a few freelance writers, who would work just like you and pay for their services, you can focus on getting more projuects and build a business out of something like writing too.You`ll still make some tidy profits after the payoffs - Now, you handle more work, more profits and you are in business. Do keep in mind that it is the hiring and finding those rare, committed people willing to freelance that is the difficult part.

I totally agree with vapourlock ....  I feel this is a great business idea... Fresh content is the most important thing search engines are looking for...

I registered. Looks pretty cool...! :-)

Craig I am sure you`ll do very well. The editors are tough so make sure the title is properly capitalized, you article is in a .doc or.txt format, you have error free grammar, and you fill out all of the blanks in the submittal form. The editors on this site only allow well written material and there are a lot of rejections. Just getting an article approved is a milestone let alone selling one. However, if you learn the ropes it gets pretty easy to get approved. If you have any questions you can post them here or send me a message. Good luck!
