Make money blogging with freelance and entrepreneurial
blogging
Blogging is
instant publishing. Think about that. You can
type 100 or 1000 words, and within a minute or two, those
words can be read by anyone with a computer and an Internet
connection. This is immensely powerful. Although blogs
started out as "online journals"
blogs are now used by businesses all over the world to make
money. Blogs
are also used by
individuals as a commercial endeavor.
These two aspects of
blogging for money - businesses blogging, and
individuals blogging, show you how YOU can make money
blogging. You can get a job as a
freelance blogger for a business, or several
businesses at $1000 and more a week, AND you can start your
own instant one-minute business.
My
ebook,
"Blogging For
Dollars: How to become a career blogger -- in your PJs,
if you want"
shows you how to do both those things.
Become a freelance blogger, blogging for
businesses
A
freelance blogger is someone who blogs for
businesses under contract. Many freelance bloggers blog for
ten to 20 businesses. As you might imagine, the money
they're paid for blogging soon adds up to a tidy sum. Other
bloggers freelance blog for a single site, like
LifeHacker, or Engadget, or for a single business.
You get a freelance blogging job much as you get any other
job. You prepare your resume (in this case your "portfolio"
blog), and apply for blogging jobs.
Start your own blogging business - become a blogging
entrepreneur
Blogs are money-spinners. Many freelance bloggers
develop their own blogs and monetize
them. You
can monetize your blog by selling advertisements on the
blog, or in other ways. Over time, you can develop a
network of blogs, aiming to generate your own personal
fortune, because blog networks have been sold for millions
of dollars.
How to get started blogging for money
Would you believe that you can start your own blog ventures
with ZERO capital - with no money for investment at all?
You can. In fact, you can
create a blog within a minute or two, using a free blogging
platform like Blogger.com, and be on your way to
generating income for yourself and your family.
Who's blogging for money?
With 100,000 (according to Technorati) new blogs started
each and every day, the answer to "who's blogging?" is -
lots of people. When I started blogging in 2001, blogging
was new, and it wasn't for a couple of years after that
that blogs started to sell products and advertising, and
blogging became recognized as a legitimate commercial
venture.
So
everyone's blogging. People are blogging for fun,
to generate second incomes, to develop businesses, to
promote businesses, and to promote ideas. I know
work-from-home mommies who are blogging, accountants who
are blogging to generate a second income, marketers who
blog, freelance writers (many) who blog to promote
themselves and their books, CEOs who blog... Blogging has
taken off.
Can YOU blog for money?
Yes,
you can. Anyone can blog. Even people
who hate to write can blog, because you're not restricted
to words in a blog. You can audio blog (podcast), photo
blog, or vlog (video blog).
If you're intrigued by blogging, my ebook,

you need to develop your own one-minute freelance blog,
