Bill will pay you to blog!
My friend, Jenny, just emailed me this:
Openings in Online Media
Company: Microsoft
Position: Bloggers Wanted
Location: Redmond, Telecommute
Description:
Blog for MSN! MSN is hiring freelance contributing editors to moderate, write and produce blogs in five topic areas: television, music, technology, sports and fashion/food/style. Contributing editors will be responsible for:
* Writing and producing five-10 daily posts for their blog, drawing material from user submissions, the MSN network and the wider Web
*Reviewing user e-mail submissions and turning the best of them into posts on the blog
*Monitoring blog comments and feedback
You must be passionate about your subject area; familiar with the tools and trends in blogging; a natural writer with an inviting, engaging style; and attuned to the broad interests of MSN’s huge audience. Send us five sample posts written over the course of a single day. In addition to the posts (which should reflect a variety of source links), in a paragraph or so, explain why you selected those items and how they reflect your vision for this project. Please include a list of sites you scanned to find your material and other favorite sites and blogs. Attach a résumé or short note to tell us what you’re doing now and what you’ve done in the recent past. And finally, in the subject heading of the mail specify which blog you’re applying for.
If only I was that prolific, I’d be all over this!

I wish I had the time for something like that! I’d love to be able to earn enough of a living writing that I wouldn’t have to keep my current job…
It sounds like a scam to me. I sent an email to Microsoft’s Human Resources to find out if it’s true.
We’ll see…….
