I want to write a story but I am not in the business!  How can I?  Just get an endorsement from your store, club, manufacturer, and write for them!  They can proof it for accuracy and approve it, and you are on your way!  You have helped your store or club get internet exposure too with your story!  Tell them to check us out and show them what you are doing!

The Outdoor Industry is full of people with passion.  They take off when the rivers or waves are up, the snow is good, the fishing is hot, the wind is still, and live for these moments in time that make their life complete.  They invent, supply, and use the cutting edge gear that all of our readers use and enjoy, when we head for our chosen rivers, lakes, hills, or mountains.  This industry is full of these "sports junkies", anxious to tell about their stories and experiences, to show their knowledge.  For them we are blessed to have a readable "Digest" format to do just that.  We give all people that work or play in the Outdoor Industry a place to submit their experiences, stories, specific product comparisons, each for their different Outdoor Sports disciplines.  Each sport is unique in their technology and terminology, with a language of their own.  Many of their verbiage is not in the dictionary, (Webster not having a clue), but have a definite meaning.  This is a format for them to tell a worldwide audience about what you know.  We invite and encourage "information rich" short story submissions for consideration to be published with a reference-able archive to forever remain in iOutdoorSports.com to be read over and over again.  For the companies or clubs that endorse the authors, it will give them internet exposure for their specific topic that can eventually be Googled, as the expense of advertising is not an option for particularly smaller Outdoor Industry Sports businesses, yet the value in what their story tellers have to teach is rewarded with long term exposure for them, well beyond what any expensive ad can convey for it's short life.  To you, the little guy but the "oh so wise" in our outdoor sporting activities, these opportunities to tell your stories and gain long term exposure through the web with your vast knowledge is hereby presented to you.  Story submissions are free, for the return of free internet exposure for you!  We also request that your sponsor link to our site, as you will be linked to ours.  Trading links will help our collective internet searches too, with better search "Rankings" for the both of us!  Relevancy with high quality links for your sponsor means they search better!  We are here to help you in that way too!  Have a little time, here is the benefits to your website!  They are extensive!  Read here about Link Trades too. Invaluable ranking information!  This will make your website "rocket" in search results!  Great resources included!  You help us, we will help you greatly!  If you want to read more, we can explain a bit more about this website promotion program with RSS feed information.
