Blog Jobs
The Wall Street Journal has released a profile on blogging as a career - with notes on everything from pay, hours, benefits, and career path.
From the article:
From the article:
"BEST PART OF THE JOB: 'I can work in my pajamas and set my own hours,' says Joel Cheesman, author of Cheezhead.com, a blog about the recruiting industry. Notes Mr. Layne, who has worked at Wonkette for two years and generally acts as his own editor: 'I get to be a national political columnist and comedy writer.'
WORST PART OF THE JOB: 'I have no life,' Mr. Lavandeira says. 'I am always working, and I can never take a vacation.' Adds Jeff Jarvis, who blogs at BuzzMachine.com, a site on news and the media: 'Blogging is an obsession. The guilt that piles up when I'm too busy to write a post is the worst.'"
