How To Hire A Blogger – A Different Approach

2008 December 4

As you can imagine I try to keep my finger on the pulse of hiring practices for hiring the best of the best bloggers, and seeing how others view this process makes me even sharper at the practice. I was reading over at WInning The Web about their thoughts on how to hire a blogger for your website. They come up with 9 areas that work for them:

1. Use the Problogger job board

2. Write a clear description to pique interest

3. Make them prove themselves

4. Promote on other sites as well

5. Followup to gauge interest

6. Hire writers to try them out

7. Lay out specific terms and instructions

8. Provide ongoing training

9. Assessment time

I’ll let you read through their descriptions. These are good points and its a post that does lay out the process by which you as a business owner could go about hiring a blogger for your site or company. In this particular instance, I think this relates more to the idea of hiring bloggers for the business model of the blog being the “company” instead of the company having a blog that needs a blogger. Nonetheless, the advice is still pretty good to follow, and something that we do here at Bloggers For Hire as part of our vetting process. You can eliminate the worry behind these 9 steps and just give us a call. We offer a different approach, we do all the work for you.

Thanks for the mention. I’m glad that you found the article to be useful. I’d be interested in how you approach thing for your company. Do you have in-house bloggers who work for clients? Or do you outsource most of the work?
