When I was looking through job links to post here on the blog this morning, I came across an advertisement by MyWordTree.com showing that they were seeking new writers. That link now turns up as being removed from Craigslist which made me curious about the site and caused me to go searching for it. It turns out that it’s a writing company which provides ongoing content for businesses to use to market themselves to clients.
The company itself looks interesting but what really caught my eye is that they advertise a “green links” page on their site. These are links to a variety of eco-friendly organizations online. The businesses don’t necessarily have anything at all to do with the company’s work but showcase different aspects of being environmentally friendly. This is an interesting eco-kind thing to do that I hadn’t thought of myself in the past.
Being a green writer is something that’s important to me and something that I’ve written on regularly. (See 8 Ways to Green Your Writing and Tips for Greening your Writing to see what I mean.) Somehow it never occurred to me to mention that an important thing that writers do is to promote the work of other businesses through links from their own posts and articles. By using green links in your writing and setting up a “green links” page like the one that MyWordTree.com has, you can turn people on to a variety of green practices that they may not have come across otherwise.
Question of the Day: What other green writing tips can you recommend?

Hello:
Thanks for your post and your interest in MyWordTree.com. Regarding your observation that the request for writers on Cragislist was pulled, you are correct. We actually had to take it down due to the overwhelming response we got; in less than 24 hours, we received 35 inquiries from writers interested in doing work with us! It will take us a while to catch up and process all of these applications, as we’re a small company and were not expecting such a flood of inquiries.
Regarding the Green Links on our site, this is part of what we feel is our ongoing social responsibility. Yes, we are a business, but we’re also a part of a larger, interconnected community. If we can raise peoples’ awareness of the simple things they can do to reduce their impact, then we want to do what we can.
We’re also proud to point out that we are a 100-percent paper-free company. All of our communication, billing and sales is done electronically.
Though we dropped our writing ad from Craigslist, we’re always interested in meeting qualified, professional writers and editors. We’re particularly interested in meeting folks with a combined interest in writing and sales who can help us grow the capacity of our business, while also doing some writing work.
I invite anyone interested in learning more about our company to visit us at http://www.mywordtree.com. Thanks for your interest!
Sincerely,
Christian Piatt
President, MyWordTree.com
