BLOGGING FOR BUCKS
"Make Tech Easier" is looking for three co-bloggers for their team.
Their website says "Make Tech Easier is a tech blog that covers tutorials for various operating system, cool software reviews and plenty of tips and tricks for the popular web apps. We are in the process of expansion and are looking for writers to help us turn this site into something bigger and better."
The first requirement: Expertise and experience in Windows, Linux or Mac. And, of course, there's a list of other qualifications and job requirements you'll find by clicking through to Write for Make Tech Easier.
What kind of pay can you expect for "professional" blogging? That's what I wanted to know. Darren Rowse (ProBlogger) says this position pays $15 per article plus incentive pay based on impressions for all the articles you post monthly. Having no idea what kind of number that might be, I can't even guess at the final compensation. I can tell you that it's more than we get paid for creating content for ActiveRain.
Or is it? Hmmm.... Let me count the commissions earned on closed real estate transactions that originated on ActiveRain... $5,000 + $10,000 + $8,000 + $12,000 +??? Gosh, I've lost count!
But this job isn't the only professional blogging opportunity available, if blogging for bucks seems like a good idea to you. Just visit http://www.jobs.problogger.net today and you'll see more than twenty other ads for bloggers on a variety of different sites ranging from Mother of the Bride to Talk about Debt and many more.
Check it out. If nothing else, you'll have a reply ready for the next person who tells you that blogging is a waste of time and energy. You can tell them you're in training to become a professional blogger.
