Yes there are plenty of websites that compile these lists for you but they can only provide a limited amount of information.

If you only look for what is current and popular you are missing out on a huge undiscovered territory. The key is to know the right phrase or term to use. How-to-find-Freelance-Proofreading-jobs-the-easy-way

Lets try the term bloggers needed..Next we will pick a niche area, to understand a niche here is an example: Say you want to know about dog grooming.

if you were to search for that term you would find it is too broad, so lets say a Peruvian Hairless dog grooming search would be a narrow, more specific result. Use this same approach to your blogging job search.

For this excercise we will use the term "Technology" as our niche area. Type in bloggers needed and use the plus symbol to add the phrase technology.

Pay rates: when it comes to how much you should accept, find out what the going rate is for bloggers here is a study done by readwriteweb.com which discusses the earning potential for freelance bloggers.

"Most people who are paid to blog are paid per post. What kinds of rates are our respondents seeing? The low end of the scale was $10 per post for very short posts.

Almost everyone else said they were paid $25 per post. One person said they were paid $80 per post! One respondent said they were paid $200 per item of long-form writing; bloggers often do other kinds of writing as well."

As you can see the payment per post varies....so it would be safe to say the more experience one attains the higher one can expect to be paid.

Remember a site needs bloggers to add content to the site in order to increase traffic and page views, so if you are good at what you do and it drives more traffic, you can expect to be rewarded for your efforts.

According to Read Write Web .... "Let's say these people are half-time pro-bloggers making $25 per post, writing 3 posts per day. That's $75 per half-day, a little less than $20 per hour, about $1500 to $1750 per month for half time work. Take two of those jobs at once, do it for a year, and you'll make about $40k."
