thematch Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hi everyone, I manage a football website that is looking for writers. The website is new this season and we are looking for writers to create articles for all 92 clubs in the English leagues. At this stage and until the site becomes a success we are asking for our writers to contribute for free but WHEN the site picks up this will change and we will discuss this with our writers at the time. This is a great opportunity for those that enjoy writing or for budding sports journalists to build an online portfolio as our writers can build an archive of all articles submitted to the site which can be viewed by users of the site. http://www.thematch.co.ukPlease get in touch if interested at articles@thematch.co.ukThanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Ambitious May be interested? I'm sure he writes about football for other sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 It sounds like a good idea, but I couldn't justify writing for nothing. I barely get time to brush my teeth nowadays, so I'd encourage people to do but I can't - not unless your willing to pay me more for writing than I get now anyway, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 He ain't got time to write for free, but has if he's paid? Mercenary. I'm available, I can you some good copy, and am looking for a way out this place. Trouble is, Daveo wouldn't allow me to leave. He'll say the same on here in a minute, you watch.

Monkeytennis12345 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I've passed this to my son. He's doing a sports journalism degree at Huddersfield UNI. He's already written a number of article on other Sports sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramshankered Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I am very skeptical of projects like this were people are asked to work for free with a vague promise of payment later. You wouldn't ask a plumber to do your house for free. You wouldn't ask a builder to do your extension for free. You wouldn't ask a mechanic to fix your car for free. So why are you asking writers to fill your site with articles and content for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why are you asking writers to fill your site with articles and content for free? Because their business model doesn't stack up so they try and see if they can get anyone stupid enough to work for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perky1106 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm happy to write some stuff for you because I admire your enthusiasm. However I don't see the idea of it picking up and making some money until quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Admire the enthusiasm. Hope the site does well. I'm a writer and publisher, and there's no chance of doing anything for free (mercenary like Ambitious ). Of course it would be great to write properly about the Mighty Derby, but I have managed to stick little Rams-related details into all of my books. If you know where to look...

EssendonRam Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I've passed this to my son.He's doing a sports journalism degree at Huddersfield UNI. He's already written a number of article on other Sports sites. Good move. I occasionally write for an Australian football site with a similar concept and the experience the budding writers get is very valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Does anyone on here write for the football league site? I've noticed they've been nicking the stuff, I nick from elsewhere... grrrr. Although so did the DET today, so boo to them too. The football league site do a similar concept, write for free and get paid later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back OOE, very entertaining and as mad as cheese! (Both of which are desirable attributes in my eyes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
