A question that many people asked me is: how to earn money working for other bloggers? Is that even possible?
If you are a new blogger trying to earn a full-time income from blogging, you know how difficult the struggle can be in the early days to generate a decent income from blogging. In fact, this is one of the main reasons why there are so many dropouts and burnouts in the blogging profession.
What if there were ways that new bloggers could support themselves financially AND develop their blogging skills at the same time? Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
I don’t know your exact situation. Maybe you’re a new blogger yourself or maybe you’ve had a blog in the past. Maybe you’re looking for an easy way to put those skills to good use and earn some money from them.
Did you know that you can earn a lot of money working for other bloggers? It is not difficult to do and the best part is that it is highly scalable. It also helps hone your skills and that can be invaluable if you want to use blogging as a long-term source of income.
So now let me show you how to make money working for other bloggers.
If you’re a new blogger, working for other bloggers is actually a great way to bridge the income and knowledge gap between your current and future full-time blogger.
You will be amazed at how you can use the skills you have to earn some extra money.
By now, I’m sure you already know how important great content is to your success as a blogger. Every blogger has a constant and continuous need for high-quality content that they can use on their blogs or perhaps on their social media accounts on a regular basis. There is always a high demand for engaging and well-researched content.
If you’ve been blogging for some time, you’re probably already familiar with the important aspects of blogging, such as content quality, SEO, and keywords. This knowledge of what it takes to make a great blog post gives you a distinct advantage and your skills will be in high demand in the blogging community.
You may not actually need to write entire blog posts to start making money. There are other partial aspects of content creation that are as in demand as writing blog posts.
You could, for example, make money selling post templates or article starters, essentially a shorter post that blog owners can use to create their own blog posts by filling in the details. You can also make money by completing a pre-written scheme by doing a little research. Then there are jobs available to write product descriptions or product reviews for other bloggers.
If you’re good at writing, you could make a lot of money by offering even more premium services like writing or editing e-books or creating free content for bloggers to give away for people to sign up for their newsletter list.
Another way to earn money is by helping other bloggers create digital products like e-books or training courses. Digital products are things that can command a premium price.
Along with great content, there is also a high demand for high-quality images. If you know how to use a good image maker like Canva, you could start working with bloggers who need graphics to promote their work on social media platforms. Many bloggers love to write, but are not very good at or even hate creating images.
If you know Pinterest well and are also good at creating images, you can easily earn a living as a Pinterest virtual assistant. In addition to creating images, you will also need to perform other Pinterest tasks, such as optimizing everything, pinning to your customer profiles, and driving traffic to your blog posts.
You can also take it to the next level by offering social media management services. Besides Pinterest, there are other popular social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc. A trained social media manager is always in high demand.
As a social media manager, you will need to help gain more followers and grow your community. You will also need to manage inboxes and respond to comments quickly. You may also need to create images to promote your clients’ latest blog posts or revive some old content.
It could also help run social advertising campaigns. Altogether, you could easily make a lot of money as a trained social media manager.
You could also offer your service as a content strategist. This is where you help your clients research keywords and discover some of the content gaps they may have on their blogs. You can also help them generate new content ideas for their blogs. In some cases, it may also involve reviewing some of your existing content to help optimize it for SEO and monetization.
Another huge demand that we see right now is email newsletter managers. While social media is great for promoting content, there are risks associated with relying too heavily on some platforms. We have seen that many social media platforms cease to exist almost overnight. This brings us to something we should all be focusing on: building our email lists.
It is vital for bloggers to constantly work to grow their lists by adding more and more subscribers to their list.
If you have some experience in email list building and newsletter management, you can offer your services as a newsletter manager.
As an email newsletter manager, you may have to do everything from setting up your lead capture funnel, creating subscription giveaways, building your list, and writing content and sending the newsletters.
If you know WordPress well and how blogging works, you can be a blog manager. Usually this job involves this like updating WordPress plugins, tweaking and optimizing blog themes, backing up your clients’ sites. It could also involve uploading and scheduling blog posts, troubleshooting technical issues, managing site security, approving comments, or even dealing with any spam comments that make it to the site.
As you can see, there is a great opportunity for people to make money not only as a blogger, but also by taking on various jobs helping other bloggers.
