Speechwriters who want to become ghost bloggers,
check out today's WSJ

Four percent of U.S. companies have public blogs, according to a story in today's Wall Street Journal.

That means 96 percent of U.S. companies have a marketing VP who's telling the CEO he's "looking into it" and wondering, "Where am I going to find some jamoke who wants to write about our company or industry every day?"

The piece also says, "Blogs allow firms to assume a natural tone rather than the public-relations speak typical of some static Web pages, and readers are often invited to post comments."

If you can convince an organization you can write in that natural tone (and convince the organization to let you do it) you can make $50,000-$70,000, according to the WSJ piece.

Best off all, according to the piece, "Prior blogging experience isn't necessary."

Get in while the getting's good.
