How to get hired as a pro blogger

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Blogging is very profitable. The top bloggers are making lots of cash - Steve Pavlina is the poster boy for this, stating his earnings at $1000 a day.

There are two primary ways you can make money blogging: as a blogger for hire, and as an entrepreneurial blogger, with your own blogs. Many bloggers do both.

So how do you get started blogging?

Here’s the brief version:

1. Get your own blog, via a free service like Google’s Blogger.com. This blog acts as your blogger’s portfolio. It takes a couple of minutes to set up. Post several items to your blog. In the sidebar, place a small “for hire” notice, with your contact details.

2. Look for blogging gigs online using Google.

3. Approach companies and tell them you’re available for hire as a freelance blogger.

4. Make friends with other bloggers by leaving comments on their blogs. Let the bloggers know you’re looking for freelance blogging work.

For the longer version of making money as a pro blogger, read my ebook, “Blogging For Dollars.”
