Create a blog real living - Four tips for finding a job paying Blogging


If you've ever dabbled in blogging, you would have thought "it would be nice if I could do it for money." Maybe you're a born writer, happiest when the words flow out of your mind, through the fingertips to the keyboard and screen.

You could also have started a blog in hopes of making money from it ("ProBlogging" is called). A lot of people - and a lot of people who never make a single dollar.

Is there an easy way to make money from blogs, though, and this is to find a paid job blogging. A lot of great blogs need writers staff with regular contracts - and many pay a very good rate.

Here are four tips to help you find a job as personal bloggers:

1. Do not start with worksheets

Many aspiring agents begin by bloggers trawling through a blogging job board or by searching through lists aggregates.

Often, you will find that a publisher does not need power for personal bloggers. They may ask to wait a few months. Be encouraged by this means that the editor likes your writing, and probably will take at once there is a vacancy (and the personal nature of blogging means that people often do so for a few months before moving).

Keep close the blog and writing messages to guests: you build your portfolio and making a name for yourself in the blogosphere, and you will find a paying gig soon.

4. Use your network

Do not be afraid to tell people that you are looking for paid work blogging. This is obviously easier if you happen to know dozens of bloggers - but it's worth getting the word out, even if you think that any of your contacts have a lot to do with blogging.

You might want to follow some bloggers on Twitter, or join a forum where bloggers hang out. Even if you do not meet any editor directly, you are bound to meet people from other bloggers that I can offer some guidance .......
