Bloggers helping bloggers

Bloggers are a tremendous, if perhaps underutilized support group.



We often see blogs, where people with various illnesses and concerns help and support one another. The blogging community forms, for them, a widespread therapy group. The realization that one is not alone with a condition or concern is liberating for those involved.



Blogs are also helpful for some good old fashioned networking for getting a job.



The always generous Jay Solo recently blogged employment notices on behalf od two other bloggers.

Jay Solo may have hit upon a burgeoning underground job search technique. Letting other bloggers know of your skills and employment availability could lead to some new employment opportunities. Those jobs could range from short term freelance work to permanent employment.



All bloggers have to do is make their availability known to others.



For example, I do freelance writing and search engine optimization.



Your skills and talents are marketable.



All you have to do is get the word out there. Let other bloggers know you are available for work and tell them what you can do.



Bloggers like Jay Solo are spreading the word.
