that is true it will take time. We have been around for almost 4 months and have assembled a group of 4 writers and also creating great connection with publishers. We have desire and passion to write about games and are not to concerned about money at the moment |
Well, good luck with that.
Are you really passionate about writing or just games? It takes more than a passion for a subject to be successful in writing about it. I'd say you have to love writing more than video games to be successful in video game journalism. I took a quick look at your website and I noticed the articles/reviews were very short and included grammatical errors. That's why I suggested a blog. Not only is it basically impossible to compete with IGN, Gamespot, etc., but a blog will help you build writing skills in an environments with little expectation. A post can be as little as a paragraph or as long as a full article. You might get lucky and a post could get linked or featured on a website like IGN and you could parley that into a freelancer position which in turn could get you a full time writing job. But you'd have to love writing in general, not just love games or enjoy writing about games. Freelancer and reviewers in general often have to play games they have no interest in and write full length detailed reviews as well as they would for a game they loved. That means writing with flavor regardless of how you feel about the subject. That takes dedication to the craft not just the hobby.
BTW, four months is such a short amount of time it's like a blink of an eye on the internet. It took Imagine Games Network years, several restarts, millions of dollars, and a restructure to become the IGN it is today. If you don't have those kind of resources I suggest starting with a blog, enroll in a university journalism program, and try to get hired at an established publication.
Like I said, good luck.
