I’ve been receiving tons of inquiries on my post on the old J Spot (at i.ph), Get Paid for Writing. While I initially tried to respond to all inquiries, I don’t think I’ll be able to respond to everyone in a timely manner, especially many of them I refer to my contacts looking for freelance writers or bloggers who are willing to write for compensation.

Hence, I’m moving the thread here, but with one major modification. I’m hoping this post—particularly its comment thread—can serve as a clearinghouse of sorts where aspiring pro-bloggers can post links to their blogs, portfolios, and other sample works, and blog network owners can check out prospective writers for their qualifications. This way, I won’t have to deal with the inefficiency of asking everyone to email this person or that company or this network and so forth.

Perhaps it’s still a crude way of doing it, but I’m hoping it would be a good start.

You may also wish to refer to online ads for blogging and blog-related work over at these sites (I’ll update the list as we go).

  • BloggerJobs by BlogMedia (I used to write for them. Great guys!)

What to write

Some useful information should you include:

  • Your name or alias
  • Your contact details (email will do)
  • A link to your existing blog or other online portfolio
  • Links to blog posts or writings you consider to be your best work
  • The setup you are looking for (pay-per post, revenue share, fixed salary, etc.)

Hey, be sure to check your writing for correct grammar and appropriate style. After all, you’re going after writing jobs and it pays to dot your j’s and cross your t’s, so to speak. If you want to be able to edit your comments later on, be sure to sign up for a subscriber account first via the registration form. You can always login using this form if you already have an account.

I hope this post will be useful. Wanna get started with pro-blogging? Do leave your note at the comment thread.

Here’s a tip: if you want your name to be linked to your blog or website URL, do edit your profile here and key in your address at the URL field.
