Coupled with internet marketing, building a relationship so you can offer value to them whether it is a service or product and utilizing the affiliate stuucture can generate an income for you.

Of course I would rather be doing my own blog, so all the income from the site goes to me. But when people are coming to you daily with work it is hard to say no! You did make some great points though regarding blogging for others, and I do feel that my personal blog reaps the benefit of the lessons I learn on other blogs.

You can do it in many forms, for many reasons. Professional copywriters that get results make big bucks. Ghost writers can make decent money, too. Writers are given in inordinate amount of authority and expertise they probably don't deserve, but hell, I ain't arguing with it. :) One downside to being a paid writer is that most people think it shouldn't pay much. But by being good at what you do and showing results, you can rise above that. Don't deal with some of these newer companies that have appeared recently claiming to pay you to write--they don't pay beans. Writing is a flexible activity.

I enjoy doing some other writing on the side to make some extra money and to keep learning knew things. Thanks for your feedback. Mark,

I do some paid writing, but most of it is offline in a newspaper column. I have done some guest posts and I'm interested in doing more, but I'm really trying to grow my blog these days. Hey Steve.

I enjoy the flexibility of writing for other blogs. Even if there is a scheduled day of the week to post, it still leaves freedom to work ahead or work on a variety of other projects as well. Misti,

Before last year, my services included article writing, ghostwriting ebooks and books and writing web content. In addition to those services for others, I also wrote my own books and maintained my own blog. Since I've added blog writing to my writing services, I've enjoyed the change of scenery, so to speak. In other words, it allows me to change to different topics. I like writing on different topics instead of spending time writing on one specific thing, which can cause burnout. Therefore, I create a writing schedule that allows me to write for more than one client -- on different topics -- each day. It's fun and keeps me from procrastinating! Plus, I get to do and get paid for what I love best: write. :mrgreen: I’ve been freelance writing for over eight years, and I expanded my writing services to include blog writing last year.

I know when I started blogging I hadn't done much writing for a while and it was definitely more difficult than I had remembered. But it all gets better with practice. Good point Kevin.
