MyWikiBiz is a wiki directory. It was one of the first wikis to allow people, companies, and organizations to write about themselves, as well as paid editing. MyWikiBiz began as a service creating Wikipedia articles for paying corporations.
MyWikiBiz is known for its friendly and inclusive environment. Editing is restricted to approved user accounts.
History[edit | edit source]
Gregory Kohs and his sister started the MyWikiBiz venture in July 2006, as a paid editing service, writing content for inclusion in Wikipedia and other community-edited sites. Kohs charged between US$49 and US$99 for articles.[1]
In late October 2006, Kohs formed a partnership to promote and market a wiki-based directory at Centiare.com,[1][2] after which Kohs moved its contents to MyWikiBiz.com.[3]
