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.

I think that would put more people off visiting the site than it would entice people in.

Look, you're replyin for the wrong reasons. I think we are doing fine as a small gaming site. We will improve and we know what direction we want to take. We will tighten up on our stuff so please do not worry about us. Despite what you're saying you have no idea on our unique view figures or how much revenue we get for ads so why you feel the need to grace us with you advice is beyond me. We know we will have to play games that are not very good, we already have. I know 4 months is short that why I told you because within 4 months we have improved a lot. Now we're taking another step to improvent with a brand new site. We are commited. We want the best. And we dont expect to be the next IGN.
Like I said we're a small gaming site and we know we are. We are not a blog and we don't want to be a blog.
But thank you for the advice. You probably mean well but I'm not asking for advice.
