Nick, thanks for your article. I’ve heard of the idea of blogging for a cut of advertisement cash but not for job hunting itself. You fleshed the idea out very well for me and I’m one unemployed dude who’s a little more hopeful. Cheers.

Anywhere’s a good place to start. Blogspot, eZineArticles, BlogCritics, Technorati, or specialist iPhone blogging sites, or all at once, IMHO.

As the guy says (Nick O’Neill) – once you start writing you have to do a little research; and once you’ve done a little research 4x per day for a week, you’ve done 28x more research than the next guy and you’re on your way to becoming an expert.

I blog about 2x per week on one site and I get about 10x the readership i get on another site at 2x per month, so quantity is important.

Yay

If you think you can, you’re right.
If you think you can’t, you’re right too.

You might need more than Ambition and Confidence if you want to climb a mountain or build a plane from scratch, but in the job market, Ambition and Confidence count for an awful lot

I do enjoy the way you have presented this particular difficulty and it does indeed offer us some fodder for thought. On the other hand, coming from what precisely I have seen, I simply just trust when other reviews stack on that men and women stay on issue and in no way embark upon a tirade associated with the news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this excellent point and even though I can not necessarily agree with this in totality, I respect the perspective.

Got hired as a result of my blog page, got fired for my social networking…was unfair dismissal, but I have walked into the most amazing opps all from those very things! NO regrets, you are completely correct!

Is blogger a good place to start? I want to write on technology but I also love music and culture. I am thinking of writing on the hip iphone android and music culture and I want to focus on the 20+ market but I don’t know if that’s too much if I add a music posts then next something about psychology or tech. I was going to call it cHIPster for people who are like hipsters but dont comply with people like that. Kind of like hipsters that are educated. Also does google adsense do anything?

Very true that it takes a lot of time. However anything that’s going to have any sizable impact is going to take effort Congrats on taking the leap and best of luck continuing to expand your webisodes!

I started to blog at http://minimalchanges.com a few months before losing my job. After reading Collin Wright’s book on personal branding I ended up creating a profile in my site and adding it to my business card. The topics I wrote supported how I discussed in my interview that I learn a lot of things on my own by reading lifehacker and how I improve myself regularly and how I get to inspire other people around me to stay positive. My employers saw it as an asset for the job I was applying for and offered me more than double of my previous pay. Not bad for writing a short essay once or twice a month. The biggest bonus is I have my own online handbook on how I do certain things.
