Looking for Work? Try Blogs!
Just a quick thought today for those of you who may be looking for work (and if you’re like me, you’re always thinking about the next gig, no matter how terrific the one you’re doing now may be).
Anyway, something you may not have considered is the blogosphere. You probably know blogs for their literary, political, or professional content, but did you know that some blogs post gigs for freelancers? All you need to do is make a list of tags that fit your criteria (for example, depending on your freelance specialization, you might use writer, editor, SEO marketing, publishing, etc.).
Here are a few blog search engines you can try:
- Technorati: http://www.technorati.com/tag
- Google: http://blogsearch.google.com
- Icerocket: http://www.icerocket.com
- Blog Search Engine: http://www.blogsearchengine.com
- Blog Digger: http://blogdigger.com
- Fast Buzz: http://fastbuzz.com
And while you’re at it, make sure that you add your blog to their listings!
Using all the resources available to you is the best way to get work –– and keep getting it. And then you’ll be … beyond the elements of style!
