subject: How To Start A Blog Writing Business [print this page] Anyone with desire to learn, and a small bit of talent, can start their own blog writing business. As a matter of fact this is one of the most in demand services you can provide.
It's interesting that so many people are becoming blog writers today. This really is an excellent example of how to make extra money. Providing a valuable service such as blog writing allows you to make money anywhere in the world where you can log online.
1. The first thing to do is go to Blogger.com and start your own blog. Try and put your name in the blog URL. You can Google search for keywords "blog writer" "blog writer blogs" and so on to get some examples of what a quality blog looks like.
2. The next thing is to begin to write some quality blog articles of 250 words or so and publish them on your blog. You can write about anything you want because the niche of your blog is actually blog writing.
This gives you more freedom than somebody who starts a blog on a specific niche such as cooking, car parts, exotic travel, and so on. This also gives you the benefit of writing about things you may currently know about or have a passion for.
This should help increase the quality of your articles. As you get more traffic to your blog people will pick up on that and be more likely to ask you to write blog articles for them.
3. Join PayPal.com and set up a free PayPal account. Write a separate blog post where people can contact you about ordering articles.
4. Determine the pricing you want to charge. When you first get started the most important thing is to write as often as possible. You can always negotiate price, but initially you need to get some satisfied customers you can use as referrals.
5. Hang out in discussion forums and link back to your blog URL. Hyperlink the keywords blog writer, freelance blog writer, or something along these lines so people know what you do.
Forum marketing is an excellent way to build relationships as well as develop customers. You can find forums at Big-Boards.com. There is a skill to doing forum marketing so be sure and follow the rules of each particular form.
6. You should also join Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Create your profile around your new blog URL so people know how to find you.
Always provide useful information in anything you do when it comes to social networking. However understand that you are also marketing yourself and this is an excellent way to develop new customers.
7. Write more articles and get them online in article directories such as Ezinearticles.com and Associated Content. In all of your articles create a resource box that hyperlinks keyword phrases such as "freelance blog writer" back to your blog URL.
8. As you begin to get customers always meet your deadlines. Over deliver on quality content and ask for referrals when you have completed the project.
It really doesn't take long to build up a clientele as there are literally millions of blogs in need your blog writing service.
