You know you want to take one home.
As some of you know, about six months ago I shut down my freelance writing site full-time-writer.com (notice the blank home page) and have let some real good articles on my old site lay dormant without many people visiting them.
At first I thought about submitting them for guest posts but as they were published once on my old site, I didn’t believe it was fair to whomever I was submitting them to, pre-published as they were. This is why I started republishing some of them on my new site. I republished the articles that matched the spirit and themes of Unready and Willing.
But I thought that instead of publishing them here, I could ask anyone if they wanted them.
So here’s my offer: If you want to publish one of my old full-time-writer.com articles I will delete them from my old site, and the only place on the web the article will appear is on your site as a guest post. All I ask for is a byline and a link back to this blog.
As I haven’t gone to the trouble of deleting all the pages from my old site yet, you can still find them at links below. If you want one of them you can contact me or just leave a comment below and I’ll contact you through twitter or your own website. I don’t care how big or small your blog may be. I’ll send you the content and I’ll delete the page on the original site. Also, I’ll remove the article from this list.

@Jennifer
Sure thing! I’ll just cross that one off from the list and shoot you an email once I revise the article.
Cheers,
Kenji
I think you have a great idea here!
I would love to post one but unfortunately it doesn’t fit in with my blog’s theme…but if it did, I would grab one this instant.
Hi Kenji,
Since I attempt to write reviews on my blog, I’d love your expertise How To Write A Review for folks to get the real deal:)
Thanks,
Clara.
Clara Freeman ´s last blog ..Personal VS Personable Blogs…
@Faizal
A lot of these posts don’t fit with my blog’s theme as well. I must admit that that was my initial motivation in giving them away. The more of the posts I give, however, the more friends I make. It’s been a fun ride so far.
@Clara
Sounds good Clara, I’ll be sure to send the post to you soon. Till then!
I’d be happy to give any of your articles a home on Writer’s Round-About. We’re a collaborative blogging project, which means we invite writer’s from all walks of life to submit content whenever they choose.
It looks like you’re not having any trouble finding new homes for your articles but if you can’t place any they’ll be welcome on WRA, you can even choose to have them appear as guest posts with your bio block or under your own name with your own author page and sidebar.
If I can only pick one of the above I’d love to give, “Rescue Your Darlings”, a home. Feel free to reach me by email.
Rebecca Laffar-Smith´s last blog ..What Do Your Business Cards Say About You?
Sounds Good Rebecca,
Let’s get started with the “Rescue Your Darlings” post and we’ll see if any of the other posts will be needing a home down the line.
Kenji
Wow, how generous! I think I may have to take you up on the idea!
Dang, the “Kaizen” would have been perfect for my site given the theme! I’ve got some pretty healthy traffic and a rising page rank so that woulda been good for this site.
Maybe you just want to guest post on my site some day instead! I’m ALWAYS looking to better my writing skills.
Thnx

@Sam
Actually, I’ve been working on a post about money and I wasn’t quite sure where I was going to submit it to. It seems like it would fit nicely with your site. When I finish it I’ll send it to you to see what you think.
I would love to use “Find Your Audience’” on ‘Travels of an Earth Pilgrim’. It would help people to focus on creating a business that would enable them to have an Independent Lifestyle.
Let me know.
Sure thing Graham! I’ll be sending it your way.
