Check imaginable and great. Not a huge deal in the blogging world but if you're advertising writing services (blogging or otherwise) you might want to give everything a second proofread. Otherwise I have no problem with what you're doing. The newspapers and other media outlets already have paid bloggers. I hate to nitpick, but you have at least two typos in your original post there.

Everyone expects the writer to work for free. I work as a web developer and I’ve added a blog to a client’s web site and today I wrote an excellent journal entry to show them exactly how this is meant to be used to promote their products: a href="http://www.caraccessories.com/wordpress/?cat=1">http://www.caraccessories.com/wordpress/?cat=1</a> As you can see, I wrote something that is directly applicable to the products they sell. I made the writing entertaining by telling a personal story while at the same time promoting the value of their products. It is a true story by the way. I included a link to their product page. That is very important. Always include links to the product pages. The search engines love content like this and people will be intrigued by a “cat litter disaster”. More importantly, they won’t just read it but be prompted to immediately buy floor mats to prevent their own cat litter disaster. This blog entry appeared immediately in the Technorati’s search engine when I did a search for “cat litter”, a keyword that the web site ordinarily wouldn't use. Blogging can extend your keyword range for better ranking.

However, running a business - big or small - is a LOT of work, and it's often difficult to find the time to keep a website updated. That's where our bloggers come in. We don't just put writers out there; we match our bloggers with our clients, we make sure the blogger knows the client, their business, their mission statement, and what they want to accomplish with the blog. Our bloggers work very closely with the clients they write for to make sure that personal touch is NOT lost.
