Although money is paper we all have some need for it. We need it
to pay the bills, to buy important items that are needed and the list goes on.
In short, money is helpful to function on a day to day basis. However, what do
we do when the little money we have is not sufficient? What then?
Some of us would love to live in a mansion with hired help but the
reality is our merger salary just cannot support the lifestyle. Do we (A)
change and adapt
to our situation or (B) create more debt while trying to keep up with the
Jones?
If we examine nature, we
realize that the natural environment adjust itself to each season. Animals
hibernate, trees lose their leaves and birds migrate to survive winter. They
all adapt themselves knowing that a different season must come. That although
it is challenging now, tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow will be better if when life changes; we function more effectively in our new environment of change. In adjusting we will develop skills that will ensure our survival like the animals in nature.

ways in which you can create additional income for yourself, while saving. At
the bottom of this post we will give you a brief preview of this weekly post.
Do it Yourself Money Tip # 1-How to Get Paid Blogging
When I first started blogging I did not have any idea that I could
get paid to blog. For me blogging was a great hobby that I loved. It was and
still is a joy to sit and create for others to enjoy. However, then I discovered
that once you have great content and you have honed your skills as a writer you
can be paid to do what you love.
Content is KING

I shared my experience above because I wanted to highlight two things
about paid blogging that is important. The first is great content. In blogging
content is KING. If you are not a celebrity no one wants to really know the
inner details about your life. Don’t get me wrong, it is good to share details
about yourself to your core audience to build a rapport but it is better to
provide information to your readers that they can use in their daily lives. Great content is what will drive readers to your blog and increase your blog stats. High blog stats is one of the things that will help you to gain paid blogging opportunities. Therefore, think about a niche for yourself and develop great content for the readers in your niche. This way you will be successful.
Honing Your Skills
The second important thing I
want to highlight is honing your skills as a writer. There are a number of
excellent bloggers out there who have worked tirelessly to develop their blogs
and their skills and in doing so they are reaping the rewards of their hard
work (paid opportunities). In honing your skills you can develop an eye for
good content by reading other blogs, books, magazines, newspapers, etc.
Basically, immerse yourself in the written word; in doing so you can examine
various writing styles and develop your own. It is important to note that in writing your posts; you should aim
to keep your language simple and to the point. This way your readers will not
be confused by highfalutin terms.

| My dictionary is right at my finger tips. |
Most importantly, always proofread and edit
your blog. If your spelling is poor make your dictionary your friend. If you don’t
have a dictionary get one. No one wants to read a post that is loaded with
grammatical errors. What I find helps me is that I type my posts in Microsoft
Word and then paste them in Blogger. This helps me to edit my posts better. After I have published my posts, I also read my posts to see if I missed any errors
while I was editing. Even if you only have one reader always try to produce the best final product.
Paid Opportunities
Once you have done the above you can start looking for paid
blogging opportunities. One website that I found that is simple and easy to get
paid blogging jobs is Bloggingpro.com.
Bloggingpro.com is a website that helps
bloggers by providing help tips on how to improve your blog. What I absolutely
love about the site is its online job board. Their job board is designed in a
way where you the blogger, writer, editor can apply for various blogging jobs
from real companies. In doing so you don’t necessarily have to go through a
middle man like with a company like SocialSpark.
