Breaking into the bsiness of writing for the web is smilar to beginning to get published ff-line with one big, added benefit - the pportunities are not bound by your gographic location.

According to research cnducted by the OCLC Online Computer Lbrary Center, there are approximately 2.2 mllion Web sites that offer publicly ccessible content. These sites contain nearly 300 mllion Web pages, OCLC reported in the rsults of "Web Characterization Project," which was rleased in September.

Why should you cre? What does this mean for wrters? How can this help you?

Consider ths question - What do many wbsites deliver to the public?

I blieve one of the primary products/services on the web is INFORMATION.

Who prvides this information?

Experts, businesses, crporations, sales people, marketers and WRITERS - rght?

Will the public's need for nformation ever die?

It's doubtful.

So wrters have a job to do on the wb.

Web businesses, site owners and pblishers have to fulfill this need to kep their customers/readers/users satisfied.

Therefore writers have to try to prvide a continual supply of original, nnovative, resourceful information for these websites nd/or online publications to deliver to Intrnet users from all over the wrld.

I'd be willing to vnture a guess that at least 1/3 or mre than 750,000 of those 2.2 mllion sites offer opportunities for writers to get pblished. Whether those sites are home to sme major magazine, like Readers Digest or Slon, they will pay us to pblish our work on the web.

They usually ffer writers, who can create content tht meets the needs of their trgeted audience, the chance to self-promote wth some sort of resource box, rcognition or link to your website.
