Freelance Blogging
So, it’s not news, per se, but freelance blogging is really becoming a moneymaker for many internet prone writers. Companies recognize it as the newest marketing tool, internet sites know the constant content grabs the readers.
Not one to reinvent the wheel, I’d rather cite Deb Ng’s blogging How To at About Weblogs for the why and hows.
I will say, however, that this is a medium that can have appeal to all types of writers. Fiction-oriented scribes still get to use their creative voice, while some freelancers can form relationships with companies, products and sites. Others can concentrate on the expose or profile type blogging that reminds them of magazine writing and journalistic outlets.

I’ve had a lot of clients interested in having me blog for them, although at this point, the money doesn’t seem to be very good. I still pick out the ones that sound fun because, hey, they sound fun and earn a little . . . but, I’d like to parlay it into something a little more financially substantial. I think my biggest holdup is that I haven’t learned how to do all of the actual blog setup, etc. and am just focused on the writing aspect.
