How can I find a blogging job?

Hi

I'm pretty new to the world of blogging for money, but when I stumbled upon the concept, I must say I was intrigued.

So far I have two blogs to my name, and I pretty much blog for fun. But now that I know some people do this as a full time job, I am all for it.

I love your site and have read a few blogging articles on what not to do. So far I haven't had any bites either, but I did manage to score a ghostwriter job where I write an article and make $25.00 per article. So that's not bad. The only downside is of course that I don't get the credit.

One thing I did notice is, to get blogging jobs, you really need to have a resume. Now I have a "real world" resume, but it didn't even occur to me that I would need a virtual one too.

So far I've been lazy and trying to resist this whole conformed idea that I need a virtual resume, but I think that might be my downside to not getting a blogging job. Usually I just respond to articles with a brief bio, and than a link that they can view my work from.

I'm also not sure how long the timeframe is, it must be faster. Like if I apply for a blogging job today, I should know by tomorrow if I got it? I probably imagine so. One article I read told me that people apply like crazy for blogging jobs, so they are snatched up pretty quickly.

The other thing I'm not clear about is where else are blogging jobs posted? I know problogger and this site, but really are there any others? Also why do some sites make you pay? Isn't the purpose of finding a job to make money? So why do you have to pay before you get the job?

Well these are some of the questions I have in this virtual world. I think blogging is great and I will continue to keep it up, I only hope that I will get a blogger job so I can learn more about this lifestyle.

My ultimate goal, like I'm sure a lot of people have, is to blog or write full time. To not have to go to my day job. I want freedom. I also want the freedom to live where-ever I want.

Well I guess that's enough ranting for today. If you are interested in viewing my bio check out http://traceysands.wordpress.com/about. Let me know what you think, I am always interested in improving.
