Paid Posts

When I started to blog a little over a year ago I never dreamed of making money doing it. I just assumed you blogged for free. Blogging is a pastime, an outlet, a creative space for the writer to share and connect with other bloggers. It never occurred to me that it could also be a job. However, as I have grown into my blogging adventure I see more bloggers monetizing their blog. There are many ways to monetize your blog from selling ad space, becoming an affiliate to writing paid posts. I have been asked about all three but … Continue reading →

Posted on by

If you missed Part One, check it out here. We discussed having to produce a set amount of blogs each month/week/day, having a set topic you have to write on, and the fact that you can’t blog for companies like PayPerPost or ReviewMe while blogging for a company. There are more downsides – read on: *Each blog has to have at least X amount of words in it. They can usually be longer than the requirement, but they can never be shorter.

The Downsides to Writing for a Company Blog, Part One

Posted on by

I just finished writing about the great benefits that come from blogging for a company but there are also some disadvantages that come from blogging for a company versus running a personal blog. Check out the following: *You have a set amount of blogs per month or per week or even per day that you have to write. Many company blogs say “X is the least amount of blogs you can write per month, and Y is the most.” You cannot just write when you’re “in the mood” – you have signed a contract to produce and you must produce … Continue reading →

Blogging as a Job

Posted on by

In my last blog, I laid out the criteria for what constitutes a hobby blog. Now I wanted to talk about what criteria makes a blog a job. If you blog as a job, you can work for a company (like I work for Families) or you can write your own blog. When you write for a company (and this can be different depending on the circumstances but I’ll get into that later) you are getting paid per blog. The amount of money you make equals the amount of blogs you write. You may make extra depending on how many … Continue reading →

What Kind of Blogger are You?

Posted on by

I wanted to talk a bit about the different types of bloggers out there, because it seems like a lot of people get this mixed up. When I tell people that I blog for a living, they think that I’m writing up blogs about what my cat ate for breakfast this morning (which since I don’t have a cat, would make for an incredibly boring blog) or whatever other random thought pops into my head. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that my blogs on here tend to be a little bit random at times, but they do at … Continue reading →

Working From Home Gives You Variety

Posted on by

As I just said, I have been pleasantly surprised that working from home this go-’round has actually gone really well. I am able to be a hermit when I don’t feel like being nice, which is Really Nice Benefit Number One, and Really Nice Benefit Number Two is the variety of the work that I do. Since I have come home to work, I have blogged (here, of course, and then I also have a personal blog that deals with politics – see my bio for more info.) I have also written copy for websites, edited sales letters, done lots … Continue reading →

Bloggers for Hire

Bloggers are changing the world. Once upon a time the big media outlets – television and newspapers – were the ones who owned all the information. Noam Chomsky, U.S. media and foreign policy critic, remarked, “the media serve the interests of state and corporate power, which are closely interlinked, framing their reporting and analysis in a manner supportive of established privilege and limited debate and discussion accordingly.” It is this interlinking relationship between traditional media and the powers-that-be that brings questions of murky motivations behind your “fair and balanced” TV news. Blogging has leveled the playing field. Anyone with a … Continue reading →
