The Secret to Freelance Blogging
As you might already know, one of the ways I earn income is by blogging for other people. This practice is becoming more and more common as companies realise the benefit of having a blog but their staff do not have the time to keep up the content.
Companies can choose to go with a freelance blogger for many reasons
- Linkbait and search engine boost
- Having the credibility of a recognised authority blogging for them
- Constant content to keep client and prospect relationships warm
- Attract attention to convert to sales leads
For the blogger the benefits come down to increased exposure and pay. Payment can be per-post, word count based, or on a retainer. Obviously all fees come down to negotiation, expectations, article length, complexity and blogger experience. If you are just starting out do not expect to get more than $20 a post, while for a proven blogger in a competitive niche, with lots of research required, you can earn ten or twenty times that amount.
The arrangement can work very well for both the blogger and the client providing everything is clear from the start, and the responsibility for making sure this happens is down to the blogger.
