Content Writers Needed

I hope no one minds this advertised here. But there are some good writers lurking in the shadows I wish to speak with.

The Electronic Farmyard needs content writers.

The Electronic Farmyard is somewhat different to the other News Blogs you have seen on the internet. For a start our Xbox 360 Gaming Reviews, News and Competitions come courtesy of www.xboxliveaddicts.co.uk; the UK’s premier Xbox 360 fan site. Therefor all Xbox 360 related articles are cut down, but we do provide links directly to the specific article on their site. Xbla is run and owned by Mush_xx a Microsoft Xbox EMEA MVP and the site is also part of the XCN (Xbox Community Network).

I am also really pleased to Introduce Sam Fletcher as our resident movie reviewer. Each Saturday Sam will be sharing his opinions on the latest Hollywood and British Cinema releases. Feel free to share your opinions and views with him in the comments section. Sam is a third year Script Writing Student at the Bournemouth University and Film School. His first review is already on the site (Avatar – was that it?) and this Saturday will see the next one published.

You will also find news and the occasional review on PC Games (online only), iPhone and other Mobile based games also. The mobile gaming side is a focus we would like to see moving forward. iPhone games, Android, BlackBerry and Symbian based too. Many of our articles come from exclusive PR sites, but we require some opinion pieces and community based reviews. Therefor we are looking for someone with a passion for Mobiles to help write these. (In the future, there is the possibility of funding to purchase ‘paid’ games to review).

A further area we are planning to cover is gadgets. Gaming gadgets, home gadgets… if it is a gadget, we want to cover it. To that end we are looking for a researcher/writer to join our small team. We are not looking to become the next ‘Gizmodo’ or ‘TechCrunch’; but we want to be able to provide some content based on rumours & news on fun and quirky gadgets.

With our PC, Xbox 360 and Mobile gaming news being released on N46, UGDB, LinkedIN, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and Del.icio.us we have been lucky enough to attract150+ repeat visitors per day and a further 200+ new visitors daily. Recent articles relating to the new Star Trek Beta, and Mercenary Wars Online game have brought in over 700 unique visitors on single days.

The project has started small and I want it to remain small whilst we spend time developing our strategy and ensuring we have a unique USP (unique selling point) that makes us stand out from the crowd. If you want to get involved, and don’t mind rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty then please drop me a line. Remember this is a voluntary position and I can not offer any form of payment at this current time. However due to the nature of my paid employment out in the real world, I may be able to provide UK residents with Expo tickets and invites to Industry events.

Thanks all,

Kris (Roo)
