Making Money Blogging (for Others)

April 28th, 2007 by Michael Kwan

In case you missed it, I posted up a blog entry on John Chow dot Com the other day talking about how you can make money online from someone else’s blog.

In a nutshell, it talks about how it’s easier (at least in the beginning) to make money blogging for someone as a freelance writer than it is to make a livable income through your own personal blog.

There are several benefits to blogging for others, in addition to the money that you receive for doing the guest spots. The biggest benefit is that you can get your name “out there”, reaching an audience that you may not otherwise have an opportunity to reach. If it weren’t for my articles on Mobile Magazine, LoveToKnow, and John Chow dot Com, most people wouldn’t have stumbled across Beyond the Rhetoric.

Remember though, that freelance writing is not the same as blogging, even if it involves blogging for others. Anyways, check out the full article over at John Chow’s blog.

      You’ve just written about writing on someone else’s blog which is about how you wrote on someone else’s blog about writing on someone else’s blog. My head is spinning!! :)

        It’s like when I was studying Shakespeare in school. During those days, female characters were played by boys, but in one play, the female character (played by a boy) pretends to a boy, pretending to be a girl. My head spun then too.
