Hi all
I have just started a Chicago Cubs fan site, and I am looking for writers who want to write about the Cubs.
http://www.chicagocubsfans.net/looking-for-writers/
Thanks

Thoughts:
1.) Spamming message boards is a terrible way to engender yourself to the Cubs online community.
2.) No one who can write even remotely well is going to jump on board a solicitation like this.
3.) No one who can write even remotely well is going to do so for free on someone else's site. They'll do it on their own site.
4.) Copying and pasting entire articles with a link to the original article at the bottom labeled "source" does not provide any value to your readers, is deceptive, and is unethical.
Good luck with your endeavor.

No way that's her real name. Maybe it's the Anna that signed up here and some guys took a liking to.

You guys are incredible.
My experience, most people on forums are repressed. Negativity...kills life!
guys, come on!!!

Repressed? You've come to the right place. We didn't used to be this way.

Don't go into marketing.

Suddenly this thread has loads of potential.

Anna, eh? Well, if you're hot and over 18, I'm sure someone would be willing to help out.

No I am not his daughter.
I am just a fan, and I do not understand why some of the guys here are opposed to that.
I just love the Cubs, and wanted to make a site.
Some fans obviously dislike that fact. Sad sad sad!
Best

Clearly you need writers, as evidenced by the subtitle of your website...
