Just had to share this video. Darren Rowse, aka Problogger, shares his 5 important tips to landing a job as a blogger. This is a frequently asked question on the Problogger site, and just around on the net. I’m interested myself, so watch out for the competition.
I believe you about the jobs being offered. That's a frequently heard complaint. Perhaps his assumption is the truly bad writers/bloggers won't bother?
Thanks for sharing. I think he's deluding himself and us about the blogging jobs on craigslist and other sites. Firstly, many of them are scams, Secondly, many of them and other blogging jobs are offered at slave-labor rates, not at all worth the effort and risk of harming your reputation when the news leaks that you will blog for pennies.
So, it kind of enrages me, actually, that he would put out this kind of "advice." It isn't good advice for writers who live in the real world. It's for lay people who want to see their name somewhere and they would do it for free.
