Hi there! I know this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask.
Does operating a well-established website such as yours require a lot of work?
I am brand new to writing a blog however I do write in my journal everyday.
I’d like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!
To start we would just like to thank you for visiting our site and showing interest in The Unpaid Gamers.
Your question is an interesting one that will be mostly dependant on what type of direction you are wanting to take your site. Is it a lot of work? Short answer is Yes.
If you are starting a blog that focuses mainly on your gaming habits or experiences, than I don’t see why it would be much different than a journal entry. (with a little more focus) If you are wanting to duplicate a site like ours I would highly recommend partnering with a few others that share you same degree of dedication and interest. Starting to cover Gaming News and Press Releases can be quite the undertaking and can sometimes be overwhelming if you are trying to contribute other content as well.
There are also a ton of great online help guides for aspiring Journalists out there. I would recommend starting small by sharing your thoughts on gaming or perhaps some reviews if you would like to go that direction. You can always expand, but be careful not to grow too quickly. What you get out of your site will be a direct reflection of how much effort you put into it. Always be willing to take an honest look at criticism and understand with growth comes change.
I hope that this helps you gain a little bit of insight on what to expect from your project. If you are too intimidated starting something like this on your own, try to reach out to others. You can always start contacting existing sites to see if they are looking for any new team members. We make every effort to look at new talent ourselves and are always willing to give people a shot at becoming a contributor. Feel free to contact me at admin@theunpaidgamers.com if you have any more questions or would like some feedback in the future.
