How do you get a paid blogging job?

Finding a website that pays you to blog is easy, but looking for the blog that fits you best may prove to be challenging. Here are some tips on how to find the best website that fits you:

Write your sample works

Sample works, and experience, is the first thing that blog moderators look for in contributing writers. Established writers and bloggers usually have a digital portfolio to present. If you have a niche or topic you enjoy, but don’t have sample works for these, the best thing to do is to write one. It will also be helpful to showcase previous works to establish your experience. If you have previously published works, say from school or from your own social media platforms, it might be great to showcase these. A couple of your best works, together with your resume and your cover letter, maybe enough to fill in your initial portfolio.

Bring forward your working schedule

This little tip is so easy to forget, establishing a work schedule. If you have a blog of your own, you will usually have a content map, a timeline, or a calendar of when to post which topics. If you are writing for somebody else’s blog, it would be great if you know what they require from you. Are you expected to work full-time, every day? Are you doing this freelance, with flexible working hours? Clear communication between you and the blog moderator is key to success.
