But how do you get started?

1. Get Involved in Blogging — Start Your Own Blog

Get started on your new career by creating your own blog. This blog doesn’t need to be a major enterprise: you can just create a small blog on a free blogging site and write several posts.

Your blog is basically an advertisement for your services.

Big tip: don’t blog about yourself. The businesses which hire you want to see what your writing style is like, so your blog’s topic should reflect that. For example, if you want to be hired by business blogs, then write about business topics. If you want to be hired by tech blogs, then write about technology.

2. Get Blog Jobs by Letting People Know They Can Hire You

Next you’ll need to promote Your blog so that people know that you’re available to blog for them. The fastest way to promote your blog is to use advertising. There are many ways in which you can advertise online — including buying ads on websites and blogs, and by using Pay Per Click advertising.

Before you start advertising, ensure that you’ve added a “hire me” page to your blog. This is a vital. People won’t know that you’re a freelance blogger unless you tell them.

Add your contact details to your blog too. Include your cell phone number.

3. Start Small and Get Testimonials

Your aim with your first a few blog jobs is just to get testimonials. The first job you get is always the hardest to get. This is because people don’t know you. As you become well-known, and people hire and give you feedback, you’ll get more blog jobs.
