Can you turn blogging into a full-time career? Yes, you can, and fast, too.

A NEW blogger sent me this email thank you:

“I bought your freelance blogging book because I wanted to find a way to make blogging a career. After two months, I’ve resigned from my job. I’m now a full-time blogger. I’ve got a stable of six blogs I’m writing for businesses, and I’m negotiating with an agency to become their blogging expert, on a monthly retainer. The retainer alone is worth more than my previous salary. Thanks for showing me the way to a great new career.”

So, if you’re hesitating about developing a blogging career, hesitate no longer. The rewards are there for you.

You’ve signed up as a corporate blogger. So, what will you be sharing on the blog? You client’s not sure, and you aren’t either. How can you make a corporate blog fun and readable, while hewing to the company line? Mission impossible, you think. Not so.

If you need a template, take a look at Yahoo’s latest blog offering, Y! Yodel Anecdotal. The first post, Yet another self-serving corporate blog, says:

We want to share insights into our company, our people, our culture, and the things that occupy our cluttered minds. We’ll cover emerging trends, provide some behind-the-scenes commentary, profile interesting Yahoos, spotlight our beloved users, reveal some of our quirks, tap into guest bloggers, sprinkle in some videos and photo essays, and generally think out loud (lucky you… you get to listen). You’ll hear from interns to executives. Some days we’ll be light and airy, others we’ll get serious.

Sounds good to me. If you’re career (freelance) blogging for a corporate client, it should sound good to them as well. Rejoice! You’ve got a PLAN.

BTW, these “what we’ll blog about ideas” would work in proposals you’re sending out to potential corporate clients, too, to inspire them to hire you.
