Blogging is serious business. Whoever said blogging is fun didn’t know what they were talking about. Blogging is a seriously fun business

Studying Ali Hale’s Staff Blogging course is fun too. No mincing of words and no false promises. What else could I want? A paid blogging job perhaps? All in good time my friend.

Unit III of the Staff Blogging Course deals with applying for a job. Ali gives tip regarding your blogging job application. What to do, what not to do, how to stay in the blog editor’s notice and lists sample application and guest posting guidelines from various blogs.

The Staff Blogging Course also tells you

• Next steps for the three different application methods discussed in Unit II
• What to do if/when rejected for a blogging job you applied to
• How to form and maintain your portfolio and
• How to keep track of job applications

The course handouts include sample job applications that Ali herself have used and has also added footnotes with further details. There’s also a sample Excel file that helps you track your applications and submissions.

This Unit includes three simple exercises that won’t take much time if you’ve done the exercises in the previous units. Follow this unit, and who knows? By next week you just may have a staff blogging job!

Using the sample excel sheet

The Excel sheet keeps pushing me to apply to new places. I’ve added a new sheet to the file where I’ve listed the blogs I’d like to staff blog for and keep adding blog post ideas related to them as they come to me.

The best part about staff blogging jobs is that they open up every few months. So even if the blog in question isn’t looking for a staff blogger now, there’s no guarantee that they won’t want one four months from now.

If you like what you’ve seen of the staff blogging course so far, you can buy the course for $19 here.
