Freelance blogging jobs

Blogging is a fast-growing field that offers plenty of freelance opportunities. However, beware of what type of blogging you're doing and how much the client is paying you. Many new freelance bloggers find themselves putting in full-time hours for part-time pay.

Even if you're just starting out, don't accept less than $7-$10 per post. Just because you haven't blogged before doesn't mean you lack valuable, sought-after skills.

If you do have experience, or if you're blogging for a financially-stable company, feel free to charge more. Top bloggers can earn $30-$50 per post and sometimes a share in the company's profits.

What exactly do bloggers do?

On the surface, it's just article writing. The purposes behind blogging are much more elaborate. Companies use blogs with excellent headlines/keywords to drive traffic to their websites. More web traffic means:

1. More customers to buy their products or services.

2. More people to click on their advertising.

It may seem basic, but these two goals mean you need to create posts that aim and appeal to your clients' target markets. The best bloggers are writers who can write newsworthy content that generates a loyal readership and seamlessly (and sneakily!) promotes the company in question.
