Established freelance writers are adding blogging to their freelance arsenal. As more advertising moves online, mainstream media (newspapers and magazines) are adding blogs to their online venues, so this means more work for freelancers who blog.

If you’ve written for a publisher, but haven’t checked their Web site recently, do it today. You may find that they now have a blog. Unfortunately, this means that someone else is writing the blog.

The best time to get a blogging gig is before a blog goes live. Develop your own portfolio blog so that you become visible as someone with blogging expertise.

Develop your own portfolio blog

Your freelance writer’s blog is an additional tool to get noticed by publishers, and of course to get blogging gigs.

To get up to speed on blogging, read my Blogging For Dollars ebook.

If you don’t have a Web site, read Super-Fast Money-Making Web Sites For Writers: Join The Web-Publishing Bonanza. A Web site/ blog combination is a powerful tool for writers, because publishers come to you. It cuts down on sending out endless queries and proposals.
