Have you ever wanted to share your thoughts on a hobby topic with a large number of collectors? Maybe you've read an article in one of the hobby magazines and thought that it would be cool to write your own article?

Well, here's your chance!

We're looking for collectors to write articles for publishing on TradingCardCentral.com. If you take a look at our Hobby Articles section by clicking here, you can get an idea of some of the past topics that have been covered. You'll also find a number of articles written by collectors just like you!

Not sure whether you have what it takes? Don't worry. Every article goes through a review process where feedback is provided. When the editing process is complete, I'm certain that you'll be very happy with the final published article. By the way, the "About the author" section at the end of each article is also a great way to publicize your web site.

If this sounds interesting to you, just let me know what you'd like to write about.

I'd like a shot at it. When's the deadline?

No set deadline. We're always uploading new articles to the site (4 per week right now) and will simply mix in these articles as they are completed.

By the way, new articles are often featured in other sections of the site including the home page and our newsletter.

a reward system for this kind of thing would be good, bob...

"Compensation" is a possibility if 1) someone proves to be a strong writer and 2) begins to write multiple articles.

The first article for anyone is a chance to try it out and see how well it goes - for both sides.

-Bob

ok then. let me think up a few ideas to write about...

Would it be okay to write about personal experiences in the hobby instead of "my best finds" and stuff like that? Mines might be a bit boring but I hope to get a point across.

Yes, any hobby-related content/topic would be appropriate.

-Bob

Anyone else interested in trying out writing?

-Bob

If anyone has started an article, please send me a PM with the topic and when you think you might have a draft for review. I'm trying to plan out the next newsletter.

-Bob

are you still looking for writers? I write a hobby review article for my local paper. It is a weekly paper but I enjoy spreading the knowledge of the hobby.

I'd like to attempt an article, too....I just don't know on what area.

I'll give it a shot....don't know what I'll write about...but I'll come up with something.

Realize this is a very old post, but do you still need writers?
Collect Hard!

Maybe I can do one also... before I start university, which would be before this Monday!

If you do, I am game!

I'd be interested bob

I pm'd Bob a few months ago about writing and he responded by not responding..hurt my feelings..im still hurt

I'd be interested as well.

Anyone who desires can send your submissions to me for screening and forwarding to Bob_TCC. BTW, Bob has not forgot about this thread. He does have many things on his plate that are getting delegated out to other team members I believe.

Richard's post on card protection should be the first thing to be placed on the front page under Hobby Articles. It's a well-written article written by "one of us" and not by a paid professional.

pm sent! Hope you like my article!

Got it. Nice write up from your point of view! I have passed it on to the "chief".

-Ken

Hey did you get my PM?

Yes...I will check your bucket when I get home

can I write?

John:

o sorry thanks


do i just write about anything i want?

Yes, I personally request you consider the intended audience and the purpose of this site.


-Ken

could i write about a set I like or how to best protect cards or something like that?

I think Richard talked already about card protection

Yep...a comprehensive article that showed lots of effort.

ok.....someone needs to give me something to write about cuz i can't think of anything `

Ettique on TCC?

What's the exact relationship between the quality of contest's prizes and the number of posts in those topics?

ooo that was cold and mean

Well I thought it was something he should write about

Bob what do you think of my article?

Write about the russian economy and society after the post cold war era!


Also write about the current relationship between Russia and Chechnya

Ok - I officially vote AGAINST adding history to the TCC curriculum.

Wow, I would definitely write on that! But from Argentina obviously

um.......i should
