Bloggers blog for many reasons. Some want to obtain prestige or become famous. Other bloggers enjoy blogging for the sheer pleasure. Other bloggers blog to promote a product or some other professional service. Some bloggers just want to make money as writers or from paid advertisements. Or they use their blog as a calling card, or online portfolio. Why do you blog?
Another aspect about blogging that you may not be aware of are paid blogging gigs. That's right. You can make a sum of money writing for other people's blogs. You might not get rich, but it may be your cup of tea. It could sharpen your resume or CV, or just put some extra cash in your pocket. It could help you develop your niche writing market. The possibilities are limitless.
I came across two paid blogging sites, ContentQuake.com and Families.com. I have never applied or blogged for these companies, but if you have a story to share let us know.
