Writers Wanted - College Health Enthusiast Needed

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Student Fitness has grown since it’s inception a few months ago and, realistically, it should no longer be a one man show. There is more demand for the niche content we offer here at Student Fitness than I am able to supply. I have been busy, I’m not going to lie, I have alot of other things going on at the moment. I do WANT to give readers a new post daily, however I don’t have the time.

Solution: Bring on some writers…

Subject/Topics:

That’s right, you heard it. Student Fitness is in the market for
College (preferably, but not nescessarily)
Health and fitness enthusiast. Since I want to make sure we maintain our focus on the college environment I need to make sure that additional writers (additional, because I do intend to continue to write) have the same expertise in the college environment and are able to give advice to college students which takes their unique lifestyle into account.

You hear that? If you want to write about common health topics you need not apply.

If you want to explore the vast topic of Health and Fitness for the college setting then this is the place for you. I have a ton of topics in mind for upcoming articles, and eventual products. Writers coming on-board can write about their own ideas having to do with Student Fitness or if they need alittle help getting the creative juices flowing I can suggest a variety of subjects.

Compensation:

Sadly, at this point in time I am unable to pay. This website is
covering it’s expenses but that’s about it.

It is NOT turning a profit - yet. Perhaps in the near future when the
site generates more than subsistence
level revenue we can compensate our contributors in money, and
I am open to that - in the future. But we do get a fair bit of traffic. We have a steady stream of regulars and we get many new readers from our dear friends at google everyday.

Hence, this would be a great position for bloggers/writers who have their own website and would like to expand their realm of
influence by contributing to Student Fitness as well.

I have no problem giving links to our writers personal websites,
as long as it’s in our readers best interest
(i.e. no spam, no pushy salesmen)

Contact Me: 

If you are interested in writing for Student Fitness please email me
at: Joe@StudentFitness.org
and please put: ”Help Wanted” or “Writer Wanted” in the subject line as this will make sure I get to your email ASAP.

Shifting Gears: College Weight Loss Blog

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

I’ve decided that it’s time to shift gears a little and re-narrow my focus. I’ve listened to you, my readers, and I’ve been told that I need to specialize and continue to zoom in on college related weight loss information. I should have realized this in the beginning however like all great things building a great website that truly benefits those it was designed for requires a great deal of trial and error.

From now on, my plan is not just to create valuable content (which I’ve been doing all along) but also to make sure it is unique (I’ll admit, this is where I will work). Unique college related weight loss and fitness material, coming right up!

So, what am I changing?

I am going to make this blog section, just that, a blog.
It’s a more personal means for me to share information, stories, and experiences with you. Don’t worry, It won’t be full of random crap conversation like the vast majority of blogs you will find.

I actually have a few announcements I am going to make soon
that should give me plenty to blog about.
(I’ll give you a hint, starts with Mar and ends with Athon…)

Other things in the works:

Add a forum, develop a video series, create audio clips (you can say podcasts if you want, it’s too edgey a word for me).

One thing at a time though. If I jump around I’ll half finish everything - and thats no good.
I’ll be working on getting some more of the college content yall crave.

Joe out, Good Luck & Stay Motivated
