I wouldn't know about this, but I hear that blogging can be very profitable.  Some companies are actually hiring people to blog for them. Check them out if you want to start a blog but don't know where to start!

Option 1: http://www.vault.com/
Blog on Vault and Get Paid!
Dear Vault Member,

Vault is looking for talented, semi-obsessive, bloggers to write and collect news stories and information in the following areas:

  • Investment Banking/Finance
  • Management Consulting
  • Law
  • MBA Admissions
  • Law School Admissions
Blogger duties are as follows:

  • Scour the Internet for interesting and relevant news articles on a daily basis, commenting/captioning as necessary
  • Write 2-3 original articles/observations about your subject on a weekly basis.
  • Break news as available (merger rumors, applications posted, etc.)
If you have your own blog or web site, that's a big plus. This is a paid position; we expect it to take approximately 10-15 hours a week. You will be communicating with Vault editors on a regular basis.

To apply, please send a CV, a cover letter, a writing sample, and a link to your blog and/or web site (if applicable) to blogs@vault.com. We regret that we cannot respond to all applicants.
