Good blog post but could use some more links to outside resources. I think there is a lot more to this subject than was covered here.

It's such a basic thing, and it shocks me how many bloggers get it wrong. @BloggerDaily - If you already have a connection with someone, you can be more informal - my advice was aimed at people applying to blogging job adverts. Thanks for the comments, all!

@V.C. – I completely agree that bloggers should be good at writing — but application letters are rather different from blog posts, and I know lots of very good writers agonise over them!

@George Serradinho – Some jobs are very low-paying – you do need to hunt around a bit for good ones.

@Bob – My mum is always very supportive of my writing too! ;-) But yes, being paid is even better…

@Blake and @George Passwater – Glad you agree with me on “follow instructions”! It’s such a basic thing, and it shocks me how many bloggers get it wrong.

First impression last, and the impression will basically will be established from your application. Attention to details must be observed and pay extra attention of your skills. Don’t forget the idea that you are selling your self to the client so better highlight your skills, objective and what you can do for the company.
