How To Become a Successful Freelance Blogger
By Brian S. Konradt

Blogging
(short for "web logging"), born from the Internet age, is one of the
newer venues for freelance writing. The Internet has generated a lot of
news about the financial possibilities open to bloggers: an audience of
potentially millions -- along with possible corporate sponsorship, a
byline, and infinite creative control -- captures the imagination of
many prospective bloggers, and makes blogging seem like an infinitely
desirable, lucrative field.
The truth is it is much more difficult to become a successful freelance
blogger. A good knowledge of marketing, web design, and being consistent
are skills you need to make a living (or a comfortable extra income)
from this new form of media.
How To Work At Home As a Freelancer

A
freelancer, or contract service provider, is someone who works on a
contract or freelance basis. As a freelancer you are acting as a
specialist, or expert, in your field. This is not to say you need dozens
of awards hanging on your wall, you just need to be proficient and
knowledgeable in the duties you perform.
Freelancers are in high demand by employers for many reasons -when a project deadline must be met, when the company lacks adequate expertise or experiences sudden and explosive growth, and so on.
Many times an employer simply cannot justify the additional expense associated with hiring another employee. Since you are not an employee of the company, you keep 100% of the money you earn and are responsible for your own taxes. On the whole, you don't have to be licensed, insured, or have a business of your own. You just have to be a person that can do the project.
Truly, this is self-employment at its best!
