2. Hi,

I own digital camera site image-acquire.com that I would like to do more with if I had the time, if I was paid I would have more time and I'm sure I could turn it into something really special.

MAny Regards Paul Briggs

4. Would this be "Work For Hire" or something similar to what MiningCo did when they first started?

Would the remuneration be in the likes of per word, or per blogging title?

5. Here's a thought...

The title was "Is Blogging Your PASSION" (emphasis mine). Why would you expect remuneration for a PASSION?

I do what I do (bay at the moon twice a day about financial markets) because I absolu-freaking-lutely LOVE it. (I am considered a bit of a strange cat, though, so maybe my opinion ought to be discounted).

Cheers,

6. thanks Shashank ;) the blogger for the Spam Weblog would be helping me out! I also have "duties" over at Blogging Baby. there IS pay involved, and most bloggers start at between 37 and 75 posts a month.

for all other questions, I suggest you all peruse our archives and submit your samples to the link above.

oh yeah and GT: it's good to be PASSIONate about your job, no? I'd rather get paid for my passions than do work I hate for pay ;)

7. Has anybody received a response yet? I remember last time I applied there was a technical problem and my application wasn't received.

8. Nope, didn't receive a response here either... they might just be overwhelmed with emails etc. It'd be nice if there was an auto confirmation when they receive messages.

9. to all who have responded to our call for bloggers, i am working my way through the hundreds of responses that we have received! if you responded with sample posts, you are at the top of my list to respond to. if you have not submitted samples, one way to get an earlier response is to submit your samples now!

11. I write a blog called Black History Quiz and was wondering if you guys will pursue niche markets like the African-American market.

12. I was just wonderering why Spam is listed as one of the topics. I believe that the Spam Blog is going on pretty strong and Sarah is doing a great job. IF this is a mistake, it has been brought to your attention :)

And a query, does the team involved help in scouting the web for possible blog posts? Lastly, if the team finds certain interesting/possible items for a post, does the blogger have the final say in publishing or does he have to publish the ones approved by the deciding commitee?

Best.

13. Hi Sarah,

I would love to help out. To make anything from 37 to 75 posts a month is too much for me. I have lots of interets and een then I can't make that many in a month! (See how many days it took me to reply here :) )

So, I guess I'll just suggest stories. Here and at a couple of other blogs, but I believe that *your* spiders (pun intended) would get to it before I do.

Best.
