Darren Barefoot of DarrenBarefoot.com has successfully completed his eBay blogger for rent services sale.
The final bid reached was $2250.00 USD, following a final day of comparatively heaving bidding activity. With the top bid barely reaching $700.00 USD for much of the bidding time period, the outlook was left somewhat in doubt.
The final winning bid was placed by ekiosk who now has Darren Barefoot's blogging time to use to the company's benefit.
Previously, well known blogger Jeremy Wright of Ensight had sold his blogging services on eBay for $3350.00 USD. Jeremy's sale marked the first such auction of blog writing skills on the online auction giant eBay.
Perhaps there might be a trend, toward the public auction of blogging talents on eBay, on a regular basis.
Many other professional bloggers, however, will prefer to offer their services through private negotiation. Many business owners and managers often prefer private treaty sales as well.
The great thing about the eBay auctions, and various business to person arrangements, is the growth of a new business opportunity professional blogging.
Bloggers for hire are already becoming an industry offshoot of the blogging trend in general.
In fact, I would suspect that if a business owner or manager contacted a few of their favourite bloggers, they could hire at least one of them to write a company business blog.
The future looks bright for professional business blogging as new forms of freelance writing and work for hire.
We'll definitely be hearing more about this new small business concept, of hired professional blogging, both now and in the future.
Professional blogging, and blogger for hire, are potentially profitable ways for bloggers to make cash as bloggers.
Whether through the auction process, or by speaking directly with the businesses requiring the blog posts written, the future for this new industry looks very bright indeed.
