Blogging Wages: How Low Will You Go?
September 24, 2008. 3 Comments
We’re having an interesting discussion at the Performancing Hive forum today about wages. At Freelance Writing Jobs, it’s our policy not to post any gig paying below $10. As one employer pointed out though, a job paying $5 for a post might add up to $10 – $15 per hour if one can write a post in ten to fifteen minutes. I can agree with that. When deciding whether or not to accept a blogging wage, consider the following: How much work is in involved in writing the post. Will you be expected to research or interview? Are you expected [Read more…]
Working at Home: Myths vs. Reality
September 12, 2008. 46 Comments
by Deborah Ng This morning as I made my rounds to some of my favorite blogs, a post at Performancing caught my eye. Ryan Caldwell wondered if we’re having trouble staying disciplined and discussed how he has to micromanage many of his writers. This hit home. I think so many people feel working at home is all TV and pajamas, and that’s far from being true. Today I’d like to explore some popular work at home myths and set the record straight. Myth: You can work at your convenience Reality: If you are home with kids, there’s really no convenient [Read more…]
Have You Checked Back On That Blog Gig?
May 2, 2008. 3 Comments
When applying for a blogging job, you need to treat it like any other job you might apply for. This means that during the application process: You send the client what the client wants to see. Be it a resume, or short introduction letter. You don’t apply for jobs you’re not qualified for – if you can’t cook, you wouldn’t apply for a chef gig, so if you know nothing about Microsoft, don’t apply to write for a Microsoft blog. You don’t tell the client that they suck. When I worked with human resource departments in offline jobs related to [Read more…]
Troublesome Client Alert!
April 23, 2008. 4 Comments
Here’s a quick tip. If you’d like to hold onto your blogging sanity, don’t attempt to work for someone who says… “$10 a blog, I need 5-10 Blogs. Please respond with samples. Serious only Thanks.” It’s a serious pet peeve of mine when clients call blog posts, “Blogs” – right away you know they’re going to be trouble. Why? Because obviously if they don’t know the difference between a blog and a blog post, you’re going to have to walk them through just what a blog is; every tiny aspect. As the client they should already know this stuff. This [Read more…]
Typical Blog Wages – How Much Money You Should Make Blogging
April 4, 2008. 32 Comments
First off there are no typical blog wages; not if you blog for yourself, and certainly not if you blog for others. Clients have different budgets, different advertising, and different situations. Still, everyone always asks about actual wages. That said, I figured I’d post some wages that either I’ve accepted, or wages that I know other bloggers have accepted recently. This may help to give you some idea of what’s decent vs. unfair vs. really good. Variables: In all of these situations, I’m assuming that one, the topic is one you know well, and two, you know how to do [Read more…]
Dealing With Blog Compensation Offers – Clients Who Offer Too Much Money
April 3, 2008. 3 Comments
The other day I posted: When someone hires you to blog, which tasks are they hiring you for? At the end I said I’d be back to discuss clients who don’t know about blogs; who are more than happy to pay you simply to post and do nothing else. There’s actually more to this issue than clients who are only looking for posters. You’ll run into a few general negotiation scenarios as a blogger: Clients who offer too much money for too little work (this actually is a problem, below I’ll tell you why). Clients who offer you joke wages [Read more…]
