Blog for a living..
I wouldn't know about this, but I hear that blogging can be very profitable. Some companies are actually hiring people to blog for them. Check them out if you want to start a blog but don't know where to start!
Option 1: http://www.vault.com/
Blog on Vault and Get Paid!
Dear Vault Member,
Vault is looking for talented, semi-obsessive, bloggers to write and collect news stories and information in the following areas:
- Investment Banking/Finance
- Management Consulting
- Law
- MBA Admissions
- Law School Admissions
Blogger duties are as follows:
- Scour the Internet for interesting and relevant news articles on a daily basis, commenting/captioning as necessary
- Write 2-3 original articles/observations about your subject on a weekly basis.
- Break news as available (merger rumors, applications posted, etc.)
If you have your own blog or web site, that's a big plus. This is a paid position; we expect it to take approximately 10-15 hours a week. You will be communicating with Vault editors on a regular basis.
