Looking for Writers to Join the DragonBlogger.com Team

Thanks Brad, so far I have 5 great writers who have joined the site and published often enough I can consider them solid members of the DragonBlogger.com group. Later next week I will be doing a post showcasing my established writers.

You can guest blog anytime and no commitments, but for profit sharing 4 articles per month minimum are required.

Absolutely, I will continue to share my earnings every month. Send me the link to your blog where you will showcase your freelance writing earnings and I will talk about it in an upcoming blog post. I should think that any full time freelancing job will earn more than blogging if you put enough hours into it.

Aight. The blog is still in the oven so to speak but the tentative address is in my name. I'm in the process of putting in all of my old gigs so that the blog won't look empty.

I'll update you asap.

Thanks Justin

It isn't a fair fight without exact amount of time spent each week. I spend less than 20 hours per week blogging total, also if I don't write a single article I still make about $60 one month in AdSense from my sites. So literally I do nothing for next 30 days and I get $60 in AdSense average, you can't get that with freelance writing unless you wrote so much content for a pay per performance program that it generates enough pageviews to join it, for AssociatedContent you get $1.00 per 1000 pageviews on an article average. I think for starting off freelance writing can earn you more money for first 6-12 months, but if all that time spent was put into blogging and promoting (really quality) you would make more after 2-3 years than freelancing for that same 2-3 years. The reason why is blogs earn more as they age and gain readership, you have to constantly churn out articles for freelance earnings per article.

Still, I don't know how much you make freelancing and how much time you put in. I always post my earning reports every month on DragonBlogger, just do a search for earnings for my most recent reports.

I am actually writing an article about this on my personal blog for next week, it depends on how many hours you write and how much you make per article. Freelance writing for AssociatedContent pays you an average of $2 - $3 per article up front plus performance, my estimates would be had I wrote all my articles for this site instead of blogging I would have made $2,500 - $3,000 in 2 years, but my blogs made over $5,500 in the same amount of time. Then again, if you get paid $5-$10 per article writing for other bloggers or sites and can churn out lots of articles you could make more.

In the short run a very prolific writer can make more freelance writing I think, but in the long run all that time and effort put into your own blogs could net more in the fact that your site generates "ad revenue, sponsored content and possibly affiliate sales". After all, I would suffer from writing burn out, but on some rare occasions I have been able to write a sponsored content for $100 or $250 for a single article. Only writing for professional newspapers or journalism magazines will you see that kind of money per article or more typically.

Either way, I think freelance writing is a great option for people who don't want the hassle of having to run their own blog, you don't need to worry about the hosting, SEO, Social Media, Promotion, Sales and all other aspects of it which take more time than the article writing itself. Either way both markets have lots of competition though.

Thank you sir

Yes, I am always open to accept guest blog posts. Guest bloggers can include author bio and up to 2 backlinks per post. Only contributers who commit to at least 4 articles per month qualify for revenue sharing.
