Your blog – a powerful tool to help your writing

by angela.booth on August 29, 2008


Want to make the most of your writing skills? Get a blog. When you have a blog, your words can be read by millions of people throughout the world, within seconds, and for years to come.

There are many, many ways to make money blogging.

I love this post on Pro Blogger, 10 Ways to Make Money BECAUSE of Your Blog:

“Much is written about how bloggers make money through selling advertising space or running affiliate programs on their blogs. However there’s a second, somewhat hidden, group of bloggers who make a great living not directly from their blogs – but indirectly as a result of them.”

Read the entire post.

Here’s a comment I made in response:

Here’s #10 for me… teaching.

Although I’ve been teaching writing for around 20 years, my blogs have extended my teaching, mentoring and coaching services in ways I could never have predicted when I started my first blog way back in 2002.

I started that first blog as an experiment on Blogger. I had no idea where it would lead.

Blogging is an incredible journey. Not only do you discover new things about yourself every day, you also find more ways to use your skills to help others.

I’m addicted to blogging because it’s instant gratification – I write, and within a minute or two, my words can be read by people all over the world.

A blog gives you incredible power. How will YOU make money because of your blog? You’ll discover your own hidden resources when you blog; this is what makes blogging so fascinating and addictive. :-)

Blogging is a must-have skill for any freelance writer in 2008

New vistas of writing will open for you when you have a blog, and blog every day.

Not only can blogging get you writing jobs without you hunting for them, it will also get you known as a writer. A blog gives you credibility.

Editors and others who buy your writing want to be able to find you on Google and the other search engines, so they can learn more about you. When it comes down to the wire, and the choice is between two writers, one who blogs, and one who doesn’t – the blogging writer always wins.

What’s a blog? A blog is a fantastic way to make BIG money as a freelance writer.

How much money? Several bloggers I know are making between $15,000 and $20,000 dollars A MONTH. Not bad pocket change. :-)
