That freelancing may take the form, of writing and publishing articles, on and off of the internet. Many people who blog, are also skilled computer programmers, knowledgeable consultants, and talented website designers.
As with all freelance and contract work, they go from job to job. The necessity of finding the next paying assignment is always there. Lurking.
On the other hand, those seemingly small jobs can lead to much, much more.
As many of you already know, I write search engine optimization and search engine marketing articles for SEO Chat. It's a popular site for discussion and advice, on getting higher search engine rankings, for your blog or website.
I get paid for writing those articles. While they haven't all appeared on the site, I have submitted quite a few. They are noticed and read by many experts in the field of search engine optimization (SEO).
Other bloggers are gaining extra income from paid articles as well.
Widely read baseball blogger Aaron Gleeman has added a very prestigious writing credit to his resume. It came in the household name of FoxSports.
While Aaron Gleeman's FoxSports writing credit is tremendous in its own right, it came about as a result of another writing job. The baseball articles were syndicated, from a fantasy sports site, known as Rotoworld.
Without the smaller Rotoworld writing assignment, Aaron might not have been syndicated in the world wide FoxSports website.
Every blogger openly displays his or her writing on the internet, each and every day. The writing sample I used for SEO Chat came directly from the Blog Business World's archives. The writing was self explanatory.
All of your writing, web design, consulting advice, and programming skills are right there, for all to see as well.
Right there: on your blogs.
Since the blog itself is your best advertisement, and many of you are tremendously talented writers, there should be some freelance jobs in your future. The same goes for programmers, consultants, website designers, and other experts in your various fields.
We are not really competing against one another either.
Our areas of expertise, and even our angle on a topic, are unique to each or us. You don't write about what the next blogger uses for subject matter. If you do, your approach to the issue is entirely different.
Different designers create different website appearances.
The possibilities are indeed endless.
Bloggers are freelancers in waiting.
Go for those jobs today!
