A Forum for Web Content Writers

One of the biggest problems web content providers face is that of networking with their peers.

Many writers' groups are focused towards manuscript and magazine article type publications. Marketing groups are often focused on copywriting for sales letters and direct mail. Providing content for the small business website is often a totally different type of freelance writing.

Web developer forums are generally concerned with programming and the design aspects of a website. Where does the content, which has been resoundingly and nauseatingly declared "King", fit in?

• What makes a good home page? An about page?
• What content is best suited for a product or service page?
• What about 404 pages, site offline pages, contact pages, and other peripherals such as privacy statements, FAQs pages, and website terms and conditions?

Each page of a small business website needs to connect to the larger picture that the business wishes to present to its current and potential customers.

Fortunately, one web developers' forum has taken the lead in finding space for those who provide website content. SitePoint Forums has six forums, dedicated to the discussion of all types of the content websites use to draw and retain their visitors.

1. SitePoint's Web Writing forum has loads of good writer resources and threads to help those who write for websites stay on track, whether they write the web article, the sales letter, the press release or write for business websites.
2. If you are a writer charged with generating a newsletter, press release, or an interview, News for Your Site is a good place to find tips and get your questions answered?
3. Photographic Content is dedicated to the discussion of those sites that rely on photo galleries of locations, products, services, and even employees.
4. One continuing trend in web technology is to involve your visitors in your web through the use of Interactive Content. This SitePoint Forum hosts discussions on the subjects of blogging, embedded videos, podcasts, and user polls.
5. What makes a good Facebook Page? How does "tweeting" help your website? Do you Stumble Upon in order to drive targeted visitors to your website? SitePoint's Social Media forums will help you keep from tripping up!
6. Content Reviews is the place to find that second pair of eyes to see if your web content is up to snuff.

SitePoint Forums also has several areas where, while not content focused are a great help to freelancers. Be sure to stop by their Business and Legal, Careers and Education, Internet Marketings and SEO Forums to keep up with the latest news in these areas. Additionally, SitePoint also provides dozens of articles, blogs, newsletters, books, tutorials, and web-kits to help freelancers develop and maintain their businesses.
