4 Tips in Hiring Bloggers and Writers
Since I launched my advertising program for blogs and recruitment of part-time writers or content developers for some of my blog projects, I often get asked on how to go about hiring bloggers and writers.
Here is what I realized for the past 12 months.
Here is what I realized for the past 12 months.
- You can offer a per article fee or a fixed monthly rate.
For fixed monthly fee, there can be a target number of stories that have to be done during the period, among other tasks. For part-time writers, a per article fee is the usual arrangement and this is negotiable. In my case, the rate I give is one hundred dollars (US$100) for twenty articles. - Will the articles be opinion based, research based, or interview based?
I note that some bloggers are not suitable for some tasks. Like some don't like to do interviews. This is one area where I encountered problems as some bloggers are not as flexible. - Another thing you have to consider is whether you are giving them a byline (authorship recognition) or not.
For those who have full time jobs, some would prefer to blog or write anonymously. Others do want a byline right away. - Give all applicants a one-week trial period
This allows you to see them in action and observe their turn-around time for every assignment. In my case, articles approved are considered as to be paid.

What is a blog?
A blog is like a website but in a journal format and arranged according to date. Whereas a website would usually appear with content presented by category, like DigitalFilipino, blogs on the other hand get presented according to date, although some would have categories, making it appear like a journal or diary.
Blog owners normally post articles or short notes that has the information they want to share, personal or otherwise.
Companies use blogs as a means to disseminate information and keep in touch with their customers. Although blogs can also be used to act as a website by itself where information on products and services being offered by companies can be presented through it.
