Drop me a line, might be able to help and/or going down the freelance journalist route might be a much better option for you. Happy to advise.

Subject: Re: [uk-netmarketing] Finding the Write Content Writers

 

Hi all

 

Thanks for all the help, I did get a call from your chap, don't mind that really. And thanks for all the other suggestions.

 

However, I really need a niche of a niche specialist who fully understands the business buying and selling process. Who 'gets' EBITDA and knows what Amortisation means. Who understands gearing, appreciates the difference between LLP and Limited... that kind of stuff. 

 

Otherwise it ends up being a bit messy... and we may as well write our articles ourselves...

 

Which is why we really need to have a good hunt around and it's going to come through seeking rather than approaches!

 

Which is also why we don't want to employ someone as there's not a full time job for someone there... it's about two days a month.

 

Cheers

 

 

John

I've worked with this chap on a particularly boring subject - ladders - and
he was good at making the content readable, occasionally humorous and a
