Blogging is a very lucrative activity. As a blogger, you can offer your services and be rewarded handsomely. You can either be paid to post on your blog or on your clients' blog. Either way, there is money to be made.
Today, there are some job boards for bloggers, which make it possible for us to easily seal writing deals with companies. Many companies are looking for bloggers to hire for many different types of blogging jobs. Some need bloggers to write articles for their business pages. 
While most of these companies pay direct cash as rewards, others pay with free copies of their products (worth a lot of money).
Recently, I created this job board for bloggers and that let me into doing more research about what's going on in the industry. So I decided I was going to come up with a few job boards for BasicBlogTips readers.
If you want to make money as a blogger, I encourage you check out these jobs boards. You are certainly going to find one or two offers that will fetch some extra money into your account

This to the best of my findings is the hottest job board for bloggers. Job offers on this job board get hundreds of applications daily from bloggers all over the world.
This job board brings bloggers and companies together. Bloggers don't have to signup to this platform. This makes it easy for those who don't want to maintain an additional account online.

What happens is every offer tells you how to apply. For the most part, you are given an email address to send your application. Communication between bloggers and companies is not done on the platform. I think this is quite simple and straight forward. Bloggers who want to be alerted on new job offers simple signup to the platform's job rss feed.

2 – BlogExpose Job Board for bloggers
This a new member in the industry with close to 500 bloggers (as a I write this post). It's another bloggers' job board that brings bloggers and companies together.
There are different types of jobs you can get on this platform. This will probably be a go to platform in the near future.
As a blogger, you can be hired and paid cash by companies who need bloggers for business blogging. Product owners are also looking to pay you (cash or free copies) to review their products (Google friendly) on your blog.
This platforms goes further to allow product owners to recruit affiliates to promote their products. In this case, product owners with affiliate programs must be able to offer special commission rates to bloggers on this platform.
Simply put, if you are paying 50% commission to your affiliates, affiliate bloggers recruited through this platform must be paid a higher commission rate.
In order to succeed with this, your affiliate program should be able to generate a unique affiliate coupon code for each blogger taking part in your promotion. Fortunately, must affiliate platforms have this facility.
One good example of affiliate platforms that has the facility to generate coupon codes tagged to affiliate accounts is Zaxaa.
Absolutely, this will help in boosting sales. I encourage bloggers who do affiliate marketing to negotiate special prices for their readers. Most product others will be ready to give you a special discount code (tied to your affiliate account) that will help your readers save some money while buying their products.
I have written a post on Donna Merrill‘s blog on how to boost affiliate sales. Check it out here

On these (and many other platforms), there are bloggers waiting to be hired. If you are not careful you may hire the wrong person.
While the hiring process should not be a pain, these are some few points to guide you through;
- Be specific in your job title
