12 Sep 09 Do You Want to Be a Freelance Blogger, BUT Why?

There are many reasons why people go for blogging, and if you are like most of us then at the crudest level, you want to be a blogger because you want to make money. Well, you can make money doing many thing, why blogging? And if blogging then why freelance blogging? Why would on like to be a staff blogger?

Well…let’s find out.

At the core, one would like to be a staff blogger, because one would like to make a living by doing this, but what about fun while you earn or that cliché “learn while you earn” concept? If you become a staff blogger, you will see the following differences:

• You will find that writing posts for blog is not just easy, but it is fun as well.
• While blogging you will realize that you are in control and it is on you to create a niche for yourself
• You can get a lot of readers, as reading blog is often free.
• You will also notice that as a staff blogger you are getting paid much quicker than any magazine editors will get.
• You will notice that unlike magazine, what goes on the blog stays there till the blog lasts. Your posts have unlimited shelf life.
• If you take freelance blogging as a career, you will realize that you are free to be anywhere, anytime as long as you write what is required of you.
• You will see that after every post, you are not only becoming more knowledgeable about the topics you write upon, but you will become more astute with words and sentences.
• After working for some months, as a freelance blogger, you will feel a remarkable improvement in your writing.

I know the list can go on and on, but my agenda behind writing this post was not to bore you to death with all the minutest details, but to ignite a fire in you: a fire that will force you to explore. I hope, I have succeeded, or have I failed miserably?
