Can anyone help me get started here?

Hello Everyone, I'm Mike
Glad to be here. I am a starving writer/student and crytocoin enthusiast/hopeful entrepreneur!
I just started mining this week, with a single 7850 card, and I'm on here to learn, and to get out of newbieland so I con contact the Devcoin people and start writing for the Devtome to earn some more capital.

I've managed to mine up some Dogecoins, and I've even managed to make a few trades with them at cryptsy. Wow! Many Trades! Lol.

I'm constantly following the action at BTC-E, as well as coinwarz and cryptocoincharts, and have been reading everything I possibly can.
I feel that I'm ready to start making some trades, but at the rate I'm mining, it's going to take me forever to be able to make any moves that count.
I talk to everyone I meet about cryptos these days, to the point that I'm beginning to drive them crazy, lol. But I'm slowly making believers of them all.
I know that I'm new, and don't have much to offer at the moment, but if any of you could help me out with any amounts of
coins that I might use to start making a few moves on the exchanges, I promise I will not forget it.

If anyone wanted me to mine for them in exchange for a helping hand, I would be more than willing to do so as well. I can
crank out about 280-340 k/hashes on my card, sometimes more, but that's the highest level I could honestly guarantee.

I am also a gifted/competent writer, so if I could help anyone out in that regard, I am more than willing to create raw material, or proofread material you have already written.

If anyone is willing to lend me a hand here, it would be much appreciated!
