Blogging & Web Writing Gigs for June 24, 2009

A decent group of gigs today, although people might take the time to write better job ads…
And on that note, your job tip’ o the day is: Location specific gigs might be suitable for telecommuters, but if you don’t ask you won’t know. I posted at least 5 gigs today that were super vague about location. These are jobs that could be done remotely, but maybe they want on site. Sometimes, jobs that state a location may not find someone they like and could be willing to take on a telecommuter. In my opinion, it never hurts to contact a location specific gig and see if they’d hire a telecommuter. UNLESS the job states one of the following:
- Must be able to attend meetings.
- Must supervise/work with the on-site team.
- So and so candidates ONLY!
- Needs to interview local sources in person.
When gigs state the above, it’s a good bet they’re not up for remote writers. But otherwise it never hurts to ask.

Do the ends justify the means – figuring out if a client is worth it

In Deb’s post, I Don’t Hate Blog Networks, she says,“My only concern about blogging for a network is whether or not the ends justify the means. Does the amount of money you’re being paid adequately compensate the work going into your blog? If you’re working your butt off for less than minimum wage, you may want to consider whether or not blogging for a network is a good choice for you.”
Which is so true, I’m pointing it out here again.
You can apply this thinking to any writing client, not just blog networks. No matter what sort of writing you do, the question above is still a smart one to ask yourself. Something I talk about a lot here is figuring your hourly wage, because it’s so hard to figure out most writing gigs any other way. When it comes to blog gigs, it’s super important, because you may be expected to spend time not only blogging, but promoting too.
Example – is the following gig justified?: Read more
