WHERE TO START AS A BLOGGER?

On my last article I had introduced you to two main types of blogging platforms, and I had promised you guys I will be introducing another three on my next article. So here we are. Today I will be talking another three main types of blogging platforms. So just sit tight and let’s get into it.

3. Freelance Blogging:

There are a lot of people looking for writers to make them write content on various topics for them. So there a lot of sites all over the web with writers offering their “writing service” to various people. You can go sign up on such a website (the sign up process is a bit tough) and post your services on the websites. People offer blogging services on this website from five dollars to even a thousand dollars. But I think when you are a beginner it's better to start at maybe five or fifteen dollars, and then you can work your way up to even thousand dollars. Based on your popularity and service, the chance of more projects will increase. The only problem here is that you will have to wait for a couple of months to get your first job, so you have a long waiting period here. The top freelancing sites are:

• Fiverr

• Latium

• People per hour, etc.

4. Magazines And Literary Journals:

Do you believe that you write pretty well? Then, literary journals and magazines are the right place for you. There are hundreds of magazines and journals that accept submissions on various genres from the public. The pay ranges from fifty dollars to almost thousand dollars. This can apply to not just article writers but also author who love writing short stories. The only problem is the response time most magazines have a really really, slow response time that may range up to even six months and due to this many don’t prefer this type of blogging. Moreover, most of the times you really don’t know whether you are gonna get a positive or negative response. But an advantage of this method is that most of these magazines give you the reason why they rejected your article, what they prefer and how you can improve you writing. I will be giving you a link to the master list of magazines that accept public submissions as it would be impossible for me to fit all of them in one article. Here’s a tip, always remember to write to more than one magazine at the same time so you can make maximum use of the waiting time and when you get the replies you can choose which ever you want according to your wish.

5. Researching sites:

If you don’t mind writing on topics which you can’t choose, this site is the best for you. On these sites, researchers come and ask a question related to their research. The reason they do this is to get an opinion from a large group of people. All you gotta to do is sign up on such a site, the sign up process is super easy, and check all the active questions. Then, frame your answer and submit it. The pay here ranges from 50 to 500 dollars and in my opinion it’s really good. The only problem here is the waiting time; it takes them about a month or so to review all the answers and give you the reply. And you really don’t know whether you will get selected or not. So it’s best if you submit to a couple of challenges at the same time. Top sites for this kind of blogging are:

• Mindsumo, my personal favourite

• Hacker rank

• Respondent, etc..

So guys, I am finally ending this article. Hope it was useful and make sure you do some of your own research before going into one of these sites. And before you leave, please smash that like button for me, it’s gonna be a big help.

See ya!!
