Looking to Hire a Blogger?
If you’re looking for a blogger to hire – the ProBlogger Job boards remain one of the most effective and affordable places to find the. For just $50 your ad for a blogger will be seen by tens of thousands of bloggers.
- the RSS feeds are subscribed to by over 2000 readers
- each job is sent out to my Twitter followers (close to 100,000 people)
- jobs are posted on the ProBlogger LinkedIn group news section (1900 members)
Current advertisers feed back that the quality and number of applicants is high – as a result we have quite a few regular and repeat advertisers.

Looking for a Blog Job?
If you’re looking for a blogging job there seems to be a lot more people looking to hire at the moment.
In the last 7 days alone we’ve seen 24 new blogging jobs added to the ProBlogger Job Boards (there are only 18 listed now as 6 were quickly filled and removed by advertisers).
To stay up to date with the latest blogging jobs simply follow me on Twitter and/or subscribe to the job board RSS feed.

That quite a lot of exposure for $50! I had noticed a bit on an increase in the amount of jobs, so I hope the job board’s popularity is on the increase!
I have to agree with Tom, this is a great deal. Unfortunately, most people don’t have the $50 to invest into advertising.
Have you ever considered lowering the rate to something that would allow more users to post their ad?
Hi James – thanks for the feedback. To be honest I’ve been thinking it’s probably too cheap if anything. Most of the social media job boards going around charge $50-$200 to list a job from what I can see.
Most of the people advertising for bloggers to work for them have a budget, they’re paying bloggers to work for them, so to pay $50 to get exposure to a 100,000+ network is pretty decent. As an insight, last time I advertised for a blogger I had 90 applicants, about half of whom I could probably have employed if I were looking for that many. Just over $1 per lead is pretty decent in my experience.
i guess it depends what you’re advertising for – if you just want to find a guest poster you might not pay for an ad, but if you were looking to employ someone to write 10 posts a week for say $500 ($25k per year), a one off $50 ad is probably pretty decent. Some of those advertising are looking for multiple bloggers so it becomes even more affordable.
In the end I get what you’re saying but I guess I’m looking to provide a service for companies with budgets so think $50 per ad is pretty decent, if not too cheap.
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment Darren! I suppose I understand where you are coming from – you have a nice site going here with a nice following and thus people are willing to pay the price to be seen by your readers.
And as I said in my original comment, I do agree that it is a good deal and if I had $50 and were looking to hire a few bloggers, I would more than happily pay to post on the ProBlogger Job Boards.
I think the $50 is great value. I posted an ad yesterday afternoon and received one amazing person who exceeds my requirement and another person who fits a role I had which means I won’t have to place an ad now.
I think $50 is great, but perhaps a premium model where your ads stay near the top or something could certainly fetch more.
Hi Darren,
With the response rate you are getting to postings on your job board $50 is a good deal. Your are offering a direct opportunity to advertisers to promote directly to people who have what they need. Many advertising systems are not as pin pointed. Also, it can stressful to find a person to fulfill a position so $50 to find someone is a good deal and you must have the $50 on hand if you are in the position to hire someone.
Cheers,
David
P.S. I like Sean’s note about offering a premium model.
