Let’s talk about blog writer opportunities available today.

How people get their news is changing all of the time.

This is creating more opportunities for blog writers to make money providing it to them. Thinks aboyt this!

Several daily newspapers in large U.S. cities have been offered for sale, and if buyers cannot be found they are likely to be closed. The Rocky Mountain News in Denver Colorado just closed.

Others are facing bankruptcy. Not only are these changes affecting shareholders, management and readers, they are also forcing hundreds of journalists to look for new sources of income.

In addition to these media upheavals affecting staff writers, they also are causing many more freelance writers to seek out alternative ways to generate revenue. One novel money making activity that is being taken more seriously is blog writing. Especially with online, electronic media on the verge of replacing traditional paper-and-ink publications, it is not so strange that web-logs, or blogs, may be ready to move from the fringe sidelines to mainstream.

Although a handful of blogs, focused on politics and entertainment, attract readers by the millions, these are exceptional, not typical. Most blogs are lucky to attract a few hundred or a few thousand readers per day. Given that such a blog may be monetized to earn from five to ten dollars per day, how is it possible for a would-be blogger to earn enough money from blogging to pay the rent and put groceries onto the table? The answer is volume.

If one blog can earn an average of eight dollars per day, it stands to reason that 10 blogs could generate $80, which works out to an average of about $2400 per month. Twenty blogs would fetch $4800, and so on.

But, one may ask, how is it possible for any one person to write enough blog posts to cover 10 or 20 different topics? The answer is outsourcing. A clever, professional blogger can now find sources that provide professionally written blog content for only pennies per page.

This same savvy individual will also be aware that, through the use of modern content management software, blogs can be set up online in mere minutes. There are expenses, of course, such as domain name registration and web hosting, but these can be minimized to about ten dollars per blog per year.

Returning to the previous example of 20 blogs earning a gross annual revenue of $57,600, expenses of $200 seems like a very small investment.

It is no wonder that many underemployed freelance writers are now considering setting up a network of blogs to replace the steady income they once earned by selling articles to traditional newspapers and magazines.
