I am willing to pay 5 2.5 1 BTC for anybody who would write an article and authorized me to publish it under the public domain. Pitch an idea to me and I will think about it. If I like your idea, you will get a 4 days deadline to write your article and 3 days deadline to finish your final draft.

I am one of the most reliable employer on the market. As of May 24th, 2011,  22 articles out of 29 articles on BitcoinWeekly were somebody's writing or drawings that I paid for. The rest were written by me.

See http://bitcoinweekly.com for all the articles that been published on the site.

At the moment, I am looking for articles dealing with:

1. Cryptography
2. Bitcoin economics
3. Stories. Especially business stories detailing your exploit and your failure in the bitcoin economy.
4. Technologies.
5. History.

So, as you can see, I like all things to be related to bitcoin. It's not a full fledge magazine in technology or whatever.

If you like the magazine, don't forget to donate bitcoin to me at the address I listed on Bitcoin Weekly website. Those donations help pay for the magazine's very existence.

OK here's the pitch: My article idea would be about the way our modern technology is bringing us into the science fiction of yesterday. Specifically cyberpunk. I would focus on Bitcoin and the various savory and less than savory aspects of using it, as well as the black market that has sprung up thanks in no small part to the increase in publicity for Bitcoin.

I apologize. Based on the correspondence on the thread to date, I'm not longer interested as I don't think we'd be a good fit for each other.

Why? I am one of the most reliable employer in the bitcoin economy. I paid for 22 out of 29 articles/comic.

OK, well, I'd be happy to do an article on the social and economic aspect of a digital currency on emerging college/uni students, but I work at a rate of 1BTC/100 words, standard.

The problem with finding reliable writers is you don't really have a set of content for them to write about; a lot of writers have problems free-writing.

I cannot afford such expensive rate. Bitcoin Weekly is capital poor.

I'm not interested in writing reviews. I don't believe I mentioned reviews specifically. However, developing news articles on products and services that tend to be relevant to the Bitcoin community and sector does peak my interest.

Regarding verification: I can send you photocopy of my id or you can probably write the editor of The Vail Daily. I believe it's still Don Rogers. I used to play basketball with him quite often a couple years back.  PM me if you need more info.

I am not interested in news at this moment. I have a taste for timeless articles. We can talk about this by emailing me ideas you have, and we'll work out which topics is good to write about.

I don't need verification of your work as much I am interested in somebody doesn't bail out before I even get to pay him for his work. I especially value writers who can output works regularly.

I'd be interested in writing about bitcoin products and services related to the economy as well as gambling, sweepstakes, and lottery type apps.

I am not interested in reviews at the moment.

Some suggestions I'd offer:

  • Ask business owners (bitmunchies, Nefario, one of the shirt sellers, etc) if they want to write about their experiences joining the Bitcoin economy - I'm sure they'll be happy to oblige with the free advertising and all.
  • Make a list of more specific topics or ideas for people to write about - it can be hard to think of something by yourself
  • Advertise yourself as an employer more - you're by far the easiest way for people to get a significant amount of coin so they can start participating in the economy without going through all the hoops with Liberty Reserve and MtGox.

Implemented your suggestion in my initial post.

For now, I get paid 1 BTC from advertising. So, assuming current revenues, yes it will pay for itself.

And the price of my space dropped to 51 bitcents a day.  Undecided

Gottach keep hustling to get traffic in.

Do you hope this to eventually pay for itself? When do you think thats possible?
