I currently do a cooking blog for fun. I was wondering if anyone blogs as a work from home job? Any ideas? I'm looking for a supplemental income and a challenge - something to engange my mind. My skills are - cooking, canning, baking, cheese making, gardening, farming, sewing, crocheting and teaching (degree). Any thoughts?

My brother is a graphic artist from San Francisco and tells me that people there pay others to blog for their companies. I really do not know how it works, but have heard him say that. You might be able to go online and find companies looking for someone to do that.

Cooking, canning, baking, cheese making, gardening, farming, sewing, crocheting and teaching! You are the kind of person I want to learn from and have as a friend! I have been blogging for a year and a half. I earn a regular "job" income from home by helping households shop for safer, eco-friendly everyday products. It is not an MLM nor do I keep any inventory. I have a link on my blog. So that is one way a blog can help with income. I would love to visit with you online about what I do. Who knows maybe it will be right for you. My blog is at www.DakotaGarden.com - PS: I haven't bought a loaf of bread since September of 2009 - I make a sourdough bread from a culture captured from my grapes. Also, recently I have been contacted by a company that wants to pay me to have a link to their company on my blog and just yesterday I was contacted from a company that wants me to test some organic fertilizers and write a review if I like them. I have a fellow blogger friend who got a free new lawnmower for posting a review of their product. When a blog gets a good readership they can make money from links - Please contact me. You never know until you look. :)

Hi,

I saw your post and was interested in blogging too. I have never had the time to set one up or keep it up-to-date. I did write a few articles on eHow a few years ago and I was doing pretty well on there. Then it got to be a hassle with so many people either plagerizing my work and rewriting it or nonsense articles that did not make sense. Some of them weren't even articles.

I just deleted my articles and quit. It may be better now. There was also some associated press site that contacted me a few times but I never really looked into it.

Most bloggers who make money at it, do so by blogging regularly, getting a lot of followers, and then they sell advertising on the blog. They blog for "free," giving value to their readers, but make money from the ads in the sidebars.
