Looking for Freelance Bloggers

Normally when I look for bloggers to expand my network, I find blogs that I like to read and approach those blogs to find new authors for clients.  However, because my time is so limited at this point, I’m writing this post to let those of you who are interested in some freelance work apply to write for our network.

At this point, what we write on is fairly topical.  For instance, some of our blogs cover topics that range the blogging spectrum, from wedding flowers to real estate and financial planning to stock market investing.  So, if you are a blogger with:

1.  Excellent Grammer
If you often confuse To, Too and Two or They’re, Their and There or if you don’t know how to place a comma correctly, you probably would hate to work under me.  I am quite a nitpicker.

2.  Excellent Spelling (Or rigorous spell checking OCD)
I will check the spelling of your writing and your keywords.  No one wants to rank well for a misspelt keyword.  In fact, it’s errors like that that make our clients look really bad.

3.  Punctuality
All our blogs must be posted by 9am E.  If you can’t do that, then this is probably not for you.  Of course, you can post them as early as 6am E as well.

4.  SEO Knowledge or a willingness to learn and apply SEO knowledge that I will teach you
Many of these blogs are written partially to capture search traffic.  A blogger that will not pay attention to the SEO that I teach them will have less success.

I’d love to hear from anyone, especially someone with an interest in financial matters.  I have current openings in real estate and finance and new blogs come available everytime a new client requests blogging.  What is very exciting is that many of our clients are so pleased with the results that they are increasing the number of posts per day, so diligence and attention to detail are very beneficial.

Also, I need some help writing podcast scripts.  These pay a great deal more as they tend to be much longer than the typical 250 word blogging post.  Either way, what I am looking for is a well written email telling me a little about your blogging history (current blogging experience is not necessary, but helpful), your writing history and anything that you think might be useful.  If I like what you write (yes, the initial email is being graded 😉 ) then I’ll follow up with a request for specific, on topic samples, to see if you can write for a particular blog.  You may find that one topic doesn’t work for you, but another might.  (mail to robyn@sleepyblogger.com)
