[stylist] Further question for Bridgit or other BLOGGGERS - RE:Writers' division Monthly Telephone Gathering - Sunday, the 29th

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Yes, I was paid, but I was discovered, if I can use that word, when the
Herald contacted the Med Center's marketing department after seeing my
commercial. The editor at the time read a sample of my writing and
wanted to hire me for the blog.

My situation was a little different, but often bloggers who start their
own blog are discovered by publishers, editors and bloggers, and this is
what can lead to bigger deals. An editor actually saw my blog and
inquired into a potential book idea, but at the end of the day, they
wanted a different direction than what I wanted, but this is an example
of how getting a blog out there can lead to others finding you.

Having an online presence is very important including social network
sites. I know this, but I'm not the person to ask about actually
creating your own blog. As for promotional stuff, that I'm more
acquainted with, grin.

Bridgit

You got paid for blogging, right? And so, how might someone make that
happen for them? (From self-promotion, to --- how do you find a paid
blogging gig?)

Robert,

I blogged for Live Well Nebraska, but I was hired by the World Herald
and didn't do this as my own thing. All I did was write and post my blog
to the site. I had nothing to do with the creation or maintenance of the
site or blog. I can speak about blogging itself, but that's about it.

Robert and all,
I work mainly as a freelance ghost-blogger, and I have also been 
fortunate enough to ghostwrite memoirs for two independent authors. Web 
content is a form of writing I do to supplement my income during 
so-called dry spells as well.
If learning about any of these niches would interest the group, I'd be 
happy to join the conference and share my experiences.

Sincerely,
Bernadetta P
