Blog jobs for writers

Blog jobs you can get, even if you’re a brand new writer

Blogging is ideal for new writers. If you’re capable of writing an article, you can blog.

So, who will your customers be? They’ll be businesses, online portals and magazines, corporations and private individuals. There are many blog media and network companies online too, and these will pay you a certain amount per month to write several blog posts each week.

If you’re a new writer, you’ll make around $100 a week for a couple of blog posts. Experienced writers can make ten times that - you’ll be paid rates which are commensurate to print article rates, at around $1 a word.

Microblogging on Twitter: can't say what you need to in 140 characters?

while you may think Twitter’s character limit is silly or frustrating, it’s actually born out of two other forms of communication that are widely accepted and used the world over. You may not think of Twitter being just like a postcard, but in some ways it is — one that you can instantaneously send to many friends or acquaintances at the same time. And minus the cost of a stamp.

If you're wondering whether Twitter can help your writing career, yes it can.

If you're a new writer, Twitter helps you to connect with other writers who can teach you how writing for money works.

If you're an experienced writer, Twitter helps you to network, and to build your platform as a writer.

And if you feel that 140 characters is much too limiting -- edit. :-)

Day 2 of my intensive Posterous use

Do I like Posterous? YES. There's nothing easier than writing an email
message to post.
 
I'm curious about how others use it, and just found this excellent
post on Mashable: "Posterous vs. Tumblr: A Head to Head"
http://mashable.com/2009/06/29/posterous-vs-tumblr/ --
 
>>>
Once the niche powerhouse dominating this middle space, Tumblr has
since seen Posterous, the somewhat unremarkable email-to-blog
platform, rise from obscurity, iterate at lightning pace, and start to
build up well-deserved web buzz and high profile users.
 
This tumbling and posturing web-aholic has been using both sites for
quite some time, so the head-to-head you’re about to read is filled
with intimate knowledge of both applications.

Excellent article.
 
I've got a Tumblr account somewhere, must take another look.
