Teen
Domainer Brian Diener Co-Founds New Content
Production Company at CollegeCopywriters.com
|
|
While
still in high school
young entrepreneur
Brian
Diener of Boca Raton, Florida
made a name for himself by chronicling his
adventures as a domain investor on the TeenDomainer.com
blog he started writing in 2009. Diener
continued his love affair with domain investing
and development when he went off to college at Atlanta's
Emory University where he is now a
sophomore. Building
on what he has learned, Diener just took
another giant step forward, joining
forces with another talented Boca Raton-based
college sophomore, Harvard University's Chris
Smiles, to launch a new quality content
production company at CollegeCopywriters.com.
The
Beta version of the company's online
marketplace pairs webmasters, web
developers, marketers and business owners in
need of quality and affordable online content
with students from some of the nation’s top
colleges and universities.

Diener and
Smiles have been working on the business
since the fall of 2011, growing their
network of writers at their own
colleges, as well as other schools,
including Columbia, Yale, NYU
and Vanderbilt. |
Diener
said, "College Copywriters offers
quality and unique content for as little as $.02
per word. For those looking to order
content, they have the option of choosing
content based on three levels of quality –
“A-minus”, “A” and “A-plus”, with
writers earning an average of $10-$20 an hour.
Writers are vetted through a comprehensive
writing test that is evaluated by the team’s
lead editor."
Diener
added, “After Google’s recent Penguin
update, webmasters and site developers have been
stranded, forced to make a difficult decision
– write hundreds of articles on their own or
order from other content providers, ultimately
sacrificing quality. Today’s tech-savvy
college students – many of whom struggle to
balance school with part-time employment – are
perfect for the job, since they prefer to
work in their spare time and are eager to put
their skills to use.”

Diener,
a varsity athlete at Emory, has been nationally
recognized for his online
entrepreneurial successes by Go Daddy,
as well as the National Federation of
Small Businesses. Smiles also has an
impressive resume having posted a perfect
score on his SAT and being Valedictorian
of his senior class at Boca Raton’s St.
Andrew’s High School. Smiles
enrolled in computer science classes
during his freshman year at Harvard for
the express purpose of building
CollegeCopywriters.com.
“We
bought the domain name CollegeCopywriters.com
in the Summer of 2011,” Diener noted.
“Our initial test was so successful
that we stopped accepting new writers
until the site was live.” In addition
to building a profitable business, the
two hope that their service will help
writers utilize relationships with
publishers to build their professional
resumes, which could lead to job
placements as they enter the workforce
after college. |
