Want to get into blogging for dollars?

There are a couple of ways I know of that you can get paid to blog:

1. You can build your own blog(s) on niche topics, then monetize it by: adding Adsense, promoting your own or affiliate products, doing PayPerPost postings (you'd register with that site, then check back often to see whether there's a need for a post you qualify to do - then you get paid).
2. Become a blogger for hire. This is more like what my company has done for some clients. They'll order a set of posts (like 10 or so), and let us know the keywords they want emphasized. We write anywhere from about 250 - 400 words (usually), and either submit it to the client or load it up in the blog's back-end, set as drafts so the client can approve and publish at will.

Here's a site where you might land a good blogging gig.
