When I Grow Up I Wanna Be A...Professional Blogger

Description: A professional blogger (also known as a copywriter or editorial-content producer) is an individual hired by a company to research and write conversation-style pieces about timely and targeted topics that would appeal to customers, clients, and potential recruits. The position often entails researching, linking to breaking news, and providing personal insight. As it pertains to the music industry blogging is becoming more and more essential in the promotion of music. Annual salary for corporate bloggers ranges from 40k to 70k. The need for professional bloggers is increasing at a very rapid pace despite the fact that currently only 4% of major U.S. corporations have blogs available to the public, according to a recent survey by eMarketer, a New York research company.
