Do you Blog? (okay that was a joke..) How would you like to get paid $40,000-$70,000 for keeping a blog up and going?

from WSJ.com

A small but growing number of businesses are hiring people to write blogs, otherwise known as Web logs, or frequently updated online journals. Companies are looking for candidates who can write in a conversational style about timely topics that would appeal to customers, clients and potential recruits.

Last year, Christine Halvorson was hired as chief blogger at Stonyfield Farm Inc., a Londonderry, N.H., organic yogurt company owned by Groupe Danone. She applied for the job after responding to an ad posted at Monster.com. A former freelance writer and Web content editor, Ms. Halvorson now writes four blogs for Stonyfield, including a blog about the company, the Daily Scoop, and Creating Healthy Kids, about healthy foods in schools. Her job entails researching, linking to news and providing personal insight.

holy crap! for those writers among us (you know who you are) this could be colossal! go to the link above for the whole article.

They'd never hire me. I suck too much.

Tin, you suck less than I do.

It seems a bit like selling out, but I'm concidering it anyway. If I could do it for a fairly cool company I might.

I might do this if I could do it in my pjs and drink lots of espresso.
