, your best bet is to become a professional blogger. Companies pay bloggers well because they know that weblogs boost their search engine rankings, thus building traffic to their web sites and ultimately generating sales and profits.

When I started blogging, blogs were consider "online journals"; hobbies, in other words. However, I soon began to see commercial opportunities. So did others, in several years later, in 2004, many businesses began to see the potential too.

Let's look at some simple steps you can take to get paid to blog.

Let's start with a brief mention of the last step: flipping blogs -- creating blogs which you can sell to others. Eventually you will produce a blog for no other purpose than to sell it. This is highly profitable so keep it in mind as you learn about blogging.

But now to begin. For step one, start a blog. This beginning blog will be the cornerstone of your professional blogger writing career.

Don't fret: you can quickly set this first blog up on Blogger for free. Those who blog for a living often have dozens of blogs, so you have nothing to worry about.

This starter blog should have niche, or a focus. It could be your day-to-day adventures. It could be your professional area of expertise. It could be your favorite pastime. A focused blog is important because you'll likely be showing this to potential buyers. Tip: make sure your initial blog is professional, since you want to be hired.

Once this first blog is up and running, add a post to let people know about your blogging abilities and services. If you don't have much money to spare, use free advertising methods.. Once you have some money, use commercial advertising such as ads on other blogs to spread the word. The more you spread the word, the more blogging jobs you'll get -- and the better paying they will be.

Finally, consider creating blogs which you can sell. Through your experiences, you'll have developed a real feel for how blogs work. Put that knowledge to work and make some real money.

Prices vary for blogs, depending on how much money the individual blog takes in. Popular blogs selling for five figures and more. The horizons are endless, so make the leap and start blogging today.
