Making Money as a Blogger: Going Corporate
Special guest author: Miranda Marquit (more on Miranda at the end of the post)
When most people think of making money as a blogger, they think of click-through banner ads and Google Adsense. However, it is possible to make money as a corporate blogger, offering your blogging services to companies that do not have the time or the people to write and post regularly.
One of the realities of the Internet is that blogs can now be used as marketing tools, and many companies are realizing this. This is becoming especially true in the real estate field, where the demand for regular content in real estate-related fields meets a need for localized stories. But companies other industries and sectors, from entertainment to finance, also realize the importance of useful, regularly updated information.
They just don’t have the time and/or the blogging expertise to make a successful blog.
This is where I come in. Every morning I get up, pull on my robe and stumble downstairs to my office. I turn on the Internet and look for the latest news of importance to the companies that I blog for. In many cases, I am a ghostwriter. But the story is the same. Companies pay me to write blog posts for them. Many of them are on contract, paying me to post a certain amount each month.
Many job boards now have listings with companies requesting blog writers. If you take a look around, you can find companies that will pay you outright, per post, to write on their blogs. Rather than relying on ad revenue, I can blog (which I enjoy) and earn a steady income. And it is done, in large part, before I get dressed in the morning.
