Guest Blogging

Looking around the web, there are not many coin blogs.  I have a few listed in the Directory, but they do not include pseudoblogs hosted by several large coin and coin-related-product companies.  I'm talking about regular people, doing their thing, writing stuff about coins.

You'll read in this blog and hear me talk about the hobby being a journey of personal development (see Axiom #7).  I'd like to explore offering the opportunity for people to do some writing.  This would be in the form of a Guest Blog: Pick a topic, write an article, add links and photos, send it to my email and I'll give it a look.
If it's good enough, I'll add it to this blog, listing you as the author.  It's your work, you get full credit.

This will be your own original work.  Articles, writing, or images published elsewhere will not be considered.  The only other limit is that the subject should be related to coins, coin collecting, or perhaps include the word "coin".  After that, you are on your own. I suggest you offer insight.  Get deep down into the subject, explore aspects other people have not.  Grab their attention.  Give the reader something to think about.

Perhaps the idea of starting a blog is seen as being a big step for you right now.  There are few places to submit examples of your writing to get practice or to get noticed.  There's a lot of work involved in maintaining a blog.  As a Guest Blogger, you can work at your own pace, try out this writing thing, see if it grows on you.  When you are ready, starting your own blog will be much easier.
