Wanted: Amateur Boxing Writers needed!

[Front Page Boxing]

The internet media is progressing news coverage to meet the interests of the people rather than corporatist telling people what they need to know. However, this post is specifically for amateur boxing.

As we in the amateur boxing community know that our local media has shunned amateur boxing as a sport but use it to portray humanistic stories of boxers overcoming rather than up to date coverage of the event. Not to say that such stories don't have its place but amateur boxing is first and foremost a sport! A sporting event recognizes those who win and lose. Just imagine if high school baseball or track was merely about an athlete's personal story but you never know when a team is playing and who is doing well in the sport?! That's amateur boxing. lol

Be an Examiner
This is how we remedy that and change amateur boxing at the local level. I myself write on http://www.examiner.com as the Wichita Boxing Examiner. You can check on the map above for your local city in the examiner. This is a national internet media company that hires local free-lance writers like myself to write as an examiner of any specific topic you may be an expert in. (I don't have any writing experience other than from college. Had to break away from my economic analysis writing style. lol)

Examiner.com is a news site:
Unlike a blog, you can't hide behind an alias and you're required to write in a third person like a journalist. An article should be anywhere from 250-500 words. You'd be surprised how quick you can write a 500 word article. An event coverage usually takes up anywhere from 800 to 3,000 words. lol Examiner is a news media and the articles written ranks up high in the google news search. That is the benefit of writing on Examiner verses your own regular website because you don't have to work hard in getting high on the search engine.

Pay??
You get paid through PayPal and you get paid by page views and visits. I've come to average about $0.008 per click. So if you get about 1,000 clicks = +/- $8. Grant it, this won't replace your day job but its extra money for what you enjoy doing. Your hits will be very high if you live in a large city or if you market yourself through social networks, other websites, etc. I'm sure we'll read articles from one another since we read anything about amateur boxing anyway. That'll translate into us getting each other hooked up with extra $. Understandably that's not the motive but it doesn't hurt to have some extra cash for a new laptop. lol

Skill level
Some have polished their writing skills and have developed a positive reputation for their writing that they end up actually working in the media as a writer. For amateur boxing, you just have to make sure you get your facts straight and you just report the event. Doing profiles on boxers is very edifying as it gives them more internet exposure. You don't need to have the skill of a novelist! Just write how you speak and you'll do fine. Of course you have to submit some sample writings to make sure you do know how your grammar and spelling.

The more exposure we can give to our boxers, the better it'll be for our sport. Doing announcements will look very neat and it'll appeal to a person who may haven't thought about attending an amateur boxing event before. You'll also be able to get press passes to certain events. For a pro event, you'll have to work through the corporate office at examiner.com where they can try out their network. However, I have received nothing but wonderful cooperation from the amateur boxing community in Wichita, Oklahoma City, and Kansas City! I do this because I love the sport and the people! People in the amateur boxing community are some of the most genuine, modest, kindest people I've ever met. I can't help but reciprocate the dedication they show for our young boxers in and out of the ring.

Mission
I'm not posting this for examiner.com but for the sport of amateur boxing. Examiner.com is a wonderful practical vehicle that will give amateur boxing a lot more exposure on the internet! I have been reaching out to other examiner writers encouraging them to cover the local amateur boxing scene. However, we need more throughout the USA! I'll assist you personally if you need help getting started. I'll be in Little Rock covering the National Golden Gloves. I'm able to get press passes for examiner.com writers. It comes to this... all the stuff we post in these forums can actually be published in an article... hopefully with the heart to promote the sport rather than just focusing on its problems. There's a place for exposing but the sport needs to be built up more than anything.

Steps to take
First write about your involvement in amateur boxing and express your passion in 300 words or more. Then you can apply either at examiner.com or go to my website at http://www.FrontPageBoxing.com. Click on any Examiner.com image you see as it will direct you to their site. (Yes, I do get some type of commission. If you're going to benefit someone monetarily... why not a fellow member of the amateur boxing community!) They'll ask you to find your expertise or you can type one yourself. If the Boxing examiner is taken in your local area, you can either try it if the site allows you or just type in 'amateur boxing'. The application form is fairly simple to follow. Then for the referral code, you can put my employee number which is 35404. Let me know if you need any further assistance by replying to this post or email me at [email protected]

I would be interested in this. I have a personal boxing blog and do a boxing radio show. I have been a sports journalist for the St. Joseph news-press for two-and-a-half years. Amatuer boxing, IMO, is the purest form of boxing. I was an amateur boxer for 14 years. I won three national titles and was ranked No. 5 in the nation as an open fighter when I was only 17. Andre Dirrell was No. 1 in my weight class at the time.
