Two New Blogs for Writers

www.inkthinkerblog.com  — If you haven’t found them yet, here are two new blogs for writers that should be on your list of daily reads. (You’ll find them in the Inkthinker blogroll in the sidebar.)

Network Blogging Tips

Hosted by veteran bloggers Deb Ng (Freelance Writing Jobs, Celebrity Cowboy, Simply Thrifty, and several others) and Jennifer Chait (DeClutter It, SheKnows, and Offbeat Homes to name a few), Network Blogging Tips is geared for bloggers for hire — folks who are paid to write for others rather than hosting their own blogs. From their About page:

Bloggers for hire have to deal with issues such as daily, weekly or monthly quotas, payment terms, revenue shares, traffic bonuses, confidentiality clauses and a separate set of rules and contracts for each employer. Bloggers for hire have to work harder at their jobs because someone else is counting on them to get the job done. We can’t take time off whenever we want or skip days of posting at a time. Bloggers for hire are a brand new breed, thus a brand new blog.

…Here we’ll share tips, advice and ideas for those who blog for someone else. We’ll offer commiseration, jobs tips and even occasional leads. We’ll even offer regular guest posts and Q&A’s from people who hire bloggers so you know what they’re looking for. Networking Blogging Tips is a blog for bloggers for hire.

Recent posts include a discussion of confidentiality agreements, finding blog post ideas, video blogging, blog spring cleaning, working as part of a team in a blogging network, and how comments affect your blog.

The Well-Fed Writer Blog

Well, it’s about time! Peter Bowerman, author of The Well-Fed Writer: Financial Self-Sufficiency As a Freelance Writer in Six Months or Less, The Well-Fed Writer: Back For Seconds, and The Well-Fed Self-Publisher: How to Turn One Book into a Full-Time Living, has finally launched a blog. He promises to write two or three times a week on the blog, which is in addition to his monthly e-zine, The Well-Fed E-Pub.

It’s still new, so it’s hard to say exactly where this effort will go. But if I know anything about PB, the blog is going to be loads of fun and a great resource. The first four posts include a quick intro, a what-not-to-do post about building customer loyalty, a call for advice for “short-cut hunters,” and a story about when it’s okay to say no.

What do you think of these two new blogs? Leave a comment!
