Did you know you could be paid to blog? That's right, blogging can be a nice source of extra income for a writer. Plus, blogging helps establish credibility in your area of expertise. If you are interested in reaching professional blogging status, check out the following websites, but use caution. Not all of the blogs listed are Christian in nature, and some of those that appear to be Christian are actually looking to take advantage of the generous hearts of God's people. Put those research skills to the test before applying for any blogging job to ensure you don't find yourself in a sticky situation.

It may seem overwhelming to add a blog to your To Do list. With work and families, it's hard to squeeze anything else into the day. If you are a writer, then blogging is well worth the time investment. Here are 5 reasons why you should blog:
- Blogging keeps your writing fresh. We've all heard the saying practice makes perfect. When it comes to our writing, this is sound advice. The more you write, the better writer you will become. Blogging gives us another venue to perfect our craft.
- A well kept blog will help you market yourself. Creating a blog will help you market and sell your writing skills to potential editors and clients.
- Establish your expertise in a field of interest through your blog. A blog is a great venue to show off what you know, and how well you can communicate on the subject.
- Earn extra income blogging. Blogging can be a great means of extra income for freelancers. There are lots of websites that are looking for writers to keep their blog content fresh. Try the ProBlogger Job Board, but be aware that these jobs aren't necessarily Christian in nature. Keep your eye out for suitable topics.
- Bring glory to God through your blog. A blog is yet another means that we can use our God-given gift for words to bring glory to Jesus and help spread the gospel. For more info, check out the Boundless Webzine article Blogging to Worship God by Bob Kauflin.
