Google Jobs Online - How to Hire Bloggers and Start Your Own Blog Network - Part 1

They are all blog networks, yes. TechCrunch and more, weblog, gothamist, b5media, i am sure you are familiar with names like 9rules. I wonder what it will be like to start one of my own, looking at the number of blog networks that are around.

But I wanted to know how it can be done, i haven't started a blog network of my own, at the time of this writing. Don't get the wrong idea here, now.

I came across a familiar name -- Paul Short, while browsing through a list of blog network that I found online.

While Paul is a master at blogging and search engine optimization, i do a lot of list building and affiliate programs. Paul and I each have our own unique expertise when it comes to running an online business. Paul Short and I were advisors at a private forum about a year back.

It's called Gomaud Media. Paul has been quitely building his own little blog network, over the past one-year or so, and little did I know.

But I sure want to learn how it can be done, i wasn't sure that I'd be doing it. I want to know how to hire bloggers and build a blog network. I sent Paul an email and asked if he'd help me with this issue, when I learned about this.

So he replied and later we got on the phone talking about that one thing -- how to hire bloggers and start a blog network.

One of the things was about where and how to find a good blogger to blog for you. And Paul shared interesting things about starting your own blog network. The call lasted for over an hour.

You want somebody who is already blogging because they are already familiar with the technology and the culture, but in general. Something about how many posts they should do a day and things like that, maybe there are few things that you can teach the blogger. It's best to get an actual blogger, when you want someone to blog for you. It's hard training people how to write and how to blog.

What you need to do is just search for blogs within the niche that you are pursuing. These two sites index the content of blogs from all over the world. You can look at sites like Technorati and Digg, and to do that.

People would always want to know what you think. Because bloggers like this will attract a lot more readership. Why? What I mean by this is that they must have opinions on things and not just sit on the fence all the time. Look for a blogger that has her/his own voice when writing. Here's a tip when looking for a blogger, now.

You can start building your blog, now that you have your blogger.

Will just login and blog, and your blogger. . . Do all the marketing , install all the plug-ins, do all the optimization, do all the designing, get the domain name, do the hosting, you need to prepare the blog, if it's your blog, from what I understand. How do you work with your blogger?

You need to discuss this with your blogger and agree on something that the both of you are comfortable with, by the end of the day, but I guess. They might go into a revenue-sharing model, but when revenue from the blog grows to a certain level. He offers around $5 per post and expects around 60 to 100 posts, but for Paul. There are lots of models that you can use, well. And how much do you pay a blogger?

I think that's a fair deal.

But I can't tell you everything that Paul shared with me without having to write a novel. How to monetize your blog and a lot more, how to promote your blog, we talked about how much to pay a blogger. Paul and I talked about more things during the call, of course.

Getting a blogger is a step closer starting your own blog network, but I think.
