Blogger Job Openings in Malaysia

As usual, many in the West are now doing something us Malaysians fail to show value. One magazine thinks bloggers will be the force which could turnover the Malaysia elections. But I’m not interested in this political stuff right now. I’m more concerned if bloggers will have a job space in future.

I’m more interested to observe when our job classifieds will list; Blogger Wanted. There are a few in Malaysia who are currently hiring bloggers to blog for them. And clients I’m working with repeatedly ask, “who will be responsible to blog?”. While I would always say, “You will need to appoint someone in the company” I believe we have a qualified amount of people in Malaysia.

I’ve been pondering to compile a list of Malaysia bloggers who want to blog part-time or freelance. Like trying to apply a position with Simpleet, my expectations are set moderately high. Though if I set the requirements too high, the payroll also increases and the client wouldn’t have the required budget.

Nonetheless, below would be a rough example of my requirements looking for bloggers:

1. Minimum blogging experience: 6 months or more
2. Minimum owned blogs: 1
3. Minimum article length: 500 words
4. Must know how to optimize content for search engine.
5. Must publish on the schedule given.
6. Must know how to camwhore.
7. Must know how to draw comics.
8. Must own a camera.
9. Must be a Malaysia blogger.

Okay. Those look like pretty realistic requirements to me. After all, it’s what most Malaysia bloggers do on their blogs. And if you’re concentrating too deeply, I wasn’t serious after number 5 onwards.

These are only the requirements. In other words, the final decision before I would consider you is obviously the content you’ve written. But not to worry, I’m not looking for flawless English. It has to be English sentences me and the client would understand if we read it.

So, how does RM25-50 per article sound to you?

p.s: I’m doing research on bloggers who are interested and the price trend.
