Facebook is already terribly addictive enough without providing a potential means to carry on an addictive behaviour – writing horses.
I am rather a fan of the fact that the majority of ads on the site do tend to be focused around individual user’s interests, however and this seemed to be the case with an ad for Suite101.com. A site that covers many topics, Suite101 is made up of a myriad of freelance writers who are contracted to write a minimum of 10 articles every 3 months, ensuring fresh content is published often.
A fan of writing and finding the idea of being paid to write in a roundabout way, I decided to check out the site, finding to my delight that there is a horse section in amongst the Plants and Animals category.
Often looking for new writers, I applied, submitting two examples of my writing that related to specific topics I was interested in writing about and had experience with. Once the application was approved it was then a question of making sure the formatting of each article suited the uniformity of the site to keep things consistent and professional in looks.
My first article, the Stages of Foaling has been published recently on the site and I am working on others to add.
If you’re interested in flexing your writing skills with regards to horses, consider looking at this site, not as a means to earn an income but to get exposure while writing about a topic you love. There is however the potential to earn income, with the more you write increasing your chances of this.
“As old wood is best to burn; old horses to ride; old books to read; old wine to drink; so are old friends most trysty to use.” – Leonard Wright

I wonder if they go for less practical and more mystical stuff.
