Find Work At Blogger Jobs

I found a really cool site that I just had to pass along to everyone else.  It’s called Blogger Jobs, and it’s a pretty neat site.  Just like a normal blog, you can sign up for the RSS feeds and get updates every time the site posts a new job opportunity.

Some of the jobs posted here are basically blogs looking for writers who want to add their Google Ads code into their pages, or split the ads between the blogging host and the writer.  Some ads are for real companies looking to hire someone to run their blogs for them.

One of the cool things about this site is that bloggers can post their mini resume’s to the “Bloggers For Hire” section.  Now mind you, Blogger Jobs isn’t hiring, but they will help you get your name out there so anyone who is might find you.  Also, you’ve got to read their TOS for submitting yourself into their database.

I found a couple of offers that sounded like good opportunities, and I’m giving them a shot.  I can’t say whether or not their going to be worth it, but it never hurts to try.  As time goes on, if they work out, I’ll be more than happy to let everyone know.  If not, then I’m sure not going to send you guys over there.

There are some cool blogger jobs out there, and as blogging becomes more popular, more companies are looking to hire bloggers.  Are you a blogger in need of a blogging job?  Go check out Blogger Jobs and see for yourself.  I’m not promising miracles, or even that you’ll land the job you’ve always wanted.  But they have tried to add a little something for everyone.

Get Paid To Write At Bukisa

I found a new site where you can write for money.  The site is called Bukisa, and it seems pretty good so far.  It’s a lot like Helium, as you get paid based on the number of views to your work.  However, through this site, your earnings are also based on the site’s rating index.  For example, if the site’s index is at 4 and you’re content receives 1,000 unique views, you receive $4.

There are a lot of different topics to choose from, as well as different publication choices, such as text articles or videos.  Text articles must be at least 250 words in length, but no more than 1500 words.  Videos should be no more than 100mb in size.  If you’d rather add an audio clip or a slide show presentation, these options are also available.

Due to the fact that this site is still rather new, there are still some bugs that need to be worked out here and there.  For the most part, however, I’m pretty happy with this place.  I have read some negative press about Bukisa, like you have to give up your rights to your work once published on the site.  According to the site’s CTO, Simon Gelfand, this simply is not true.  Everything you post on the site remains your property.

Minimum payout is set at $10, and is paid through PayPal.  Payments are sent within 30 days of whatever month you reach payout level.  Basically, it means that if you reach payout on the 14th of December, you’ll get paid by the end of January.  Site revenues are made through a wide array of venues, including text ads, banner ads, and email marketing, just to name a few.

I can’t say whether this site is going to last or not, but from what I’ve seen so far, I’m pretty excited.  I’ve published 2 different articles on the site and have already had quite a few views.  As time goes by and I add new content, I’ll be able to tell if this site is worth the time or not.  For now, I’m happy with everything I’ve seen.

Using Article Directories For Extra Content

Even though nobody really uses the term anymore, we still live in the age of the “Internet Superhighway”.  A friend of mine used that term the other day in a post, and I had to laugh as I hadn’t heard that term in so long.  However, that term means more now than it did in the past.

One thing I’ve learned in the past year as a blogger is that content is king and people crave information.  Doesn’t really matter what kind of information, as there’s someone out there looking for the few tidbits that you already know.

I’m quickly finding out though, it’s not always easy to come up with something that will appease the masses in their never-ending quest for knowledge, so what can a blog owner or webmaster do to fill in those gaps when genius refuses to unfold?  Try using one of the various article directories online.

Article directories are a great place to find just the right words to fill in your empty spaces.  Some article directories charge a small fee for the use of the articles, but many of them only ask that you either create a link to the directory site, or the author’s site, and always give credit to the person who wrote the article.

Now, that being said, there are a couple things to watch for when using article directories.  Be sure to read the whole article before deciding on whether or not to use it on your site.  You might even type the title into your favorite search engine and see how many other people have used that same article.  For all you know, it could already be splashed all over the place.

Another thing to watch for is spelling and punctuation.  Just because an article is listed on a directory doesn’t mean it’s void of errors.  Even if you tell the world that so-and-so wrote the article and you had nothing to do with it, it’s still on your site and will still come back on you.  If the article only has a couple of errors and you’d really like to use it, you might contact the author and let them know and see if they have a problem with you fixing the typos.  Remember, this is still their work and should be treated as such.

As a blog writer, I know how hard it can be to come up with something creative each and every day.  It just doesn’t happen.  But, if you need something to throw in every once in a while, check out a few article directories and give an aspiring writer a chance at a little exposure.
