Virtual Buzz Assistant

Blog writer jobs are plentiful if you can find the many small business owners that have started a blog and let them die.  The key to getting a job as a blog writer is to find people that have started blogs and then to convince them of the following:

• Blogs are worth writing
• Blogs get results over the long term
• Blogs strengthen your relationships with your customers and the public
• Blogs can yield unexpected good results

One way to do this is to collect success stories.  Here is a blog success story as an example.

It is also important to become trained in how to write blog posts that perform well for people and for search engines.  When you can articulate your ability to write posts that will grow an audience, you will get more blog writing jobs.

You will usually need to do some education with the client that might be shopping around for the cheapest blog writer.  Let them know what the difference is between link bait, a comprehensive post and a light post that is just a short blurb to keep the blog fresh.

In order to get the blog writer project, you may have to do a small project to establish your ability and value.  Make absolutely sure there are no typos or grammar issues in your post as one mistake will stick out and make it much harder to get future blog writer jobs with that client.

Working as a blog writer can be very rewarding.  It is one of the primary jobs a virtual buzz assistant does.  As you get more familiar with the client’s industry and how to research your topics, you will be able to complete more good blog posts in less time, which will increase your hourly salary and give you more time.

Remember when you are talking with a prospective client, know in advance if you are trying to convince them that a) They need a blog b) Blogs are effective or c) They need you as a blog writer.  They do not want to hear about your blog writing service if they do not think blogs are a good way to go.

Lastly, you will get more blog writer jobs if you simplify your packages.  Price your blog writing by the post, based on the post type and by the number per month.
