Fours figures from blogging for others sounds pretty healthy. Any idea of how much you would get if you stopped posting and relied on the traffic bonuses from previous efforts?

The only things about blogging for others that makes me hesitate is that with that time I should really be posting content on my own blog, so it’s bit of a catch-22. Post for income or post for possible future income!

The more I learn the harder it seems to get. lol. Thanks for the ideas in this article though. More food for thought.

I still am trying to get my head around the Blog Network thing. Interesting post by someone making money on a Blog Network.

Thanks Deborah NG

We found a nice blog network system at Indonesia (spyonad.com) that publish content automatically into 72 website blog. We need your comments about the SpyOnAd system. It’s good or not?

“Establish a relationship with other network bloggers”

Exactly! About 4 years ago I quit a lot of relationships online. I thought that this people waste my time… It was my worst business decision!

Shanel Yang makes a valuable point.

I was hoping to read how exactly one can get established in a blogging network?

Perhaps that could be you next posting.

In any case, thanks for the insight.

I am kicking myself for not accepting the offer made to me months ago from B5 Media.

If only for from the list above, #8 – Network Training Sessions and Chats. That is a BIG PERK.

Maybe i will apply again, or try another network. Good post, Deb.

@Dan – I had several of my own successful blogs before taking on the network blogs. Networks do want exclusive content though, and I never used the same thing on different blogs.

Good stuff as always. Networking really is at least half the battle when it comes to creating a successful blog.

Thanks Deb for the advice.
When you first started writing for a network, did you maintain an independent blog as well? I’m assuming the network would want exclusive content that can only be found on their site (rather than cross-posted from your own site)?
Thanks!

Hi – I’m so sorry I got here so late in the game. Different networks pay and hire differently – but there are a few ways to find blogging jobs with networks – the first and best is through jobs boards like ProBlogger and Freelance Writing Jobs.

You can also go to the networks themselves and see if they have jobs posted or if you can suggest your own blog.

If you know of other network bloggers ask them if they know of any openings, word of mouth is another great way to find a blogging gig.

Incidentally, if you’re only thinking of network blogging as a gig to help supplement your income, there’s more to it than that. Thanks to my experience, I’m now Community Manager for Blog Talk Radio. It’s a full-time, salaried gig. I expect to see more of these jobs in the near future.

@MathBlogger – It can get tedious for some to talk about the same topics day in and day out – but that’s where passion comes in. If you don’t know about your topic, it’s soon apparent. If you’re passionate, you can blog about it forever.

I blog on a few networks and my personal blog is also syndicated to various places. I’d add the following: keep backups of your own posts and make sure you have permission to post them yourself i fthey ever disappear from the network. I’ve lost some writing in the past when a network failed and it sucks.

Leadership quality would be a plus point.

It’s tough to break into a blog network, but, having a good blog at our end before applying is big factor I think, this greatly helps the recruiters to get a fair idea about the applicant.

Wow I never thought about network blogging before. I own two blogs and write on them but some extra cash could be handy

I know this question might have been asked, but how does one break into the blog network?

Also, is it best to network with those who blog about the same topic or to diversify?
