Professional bios and blurb writing are lucrative lanes if you have talent and word gets around. Book packagers like Relay hire specifically for blurb writing. You can Google them and find out how to apply. Nearly all of your friends probably need a professional bio. When they're pleased with the ones you write for them, encourage them to spread the word through their social media network. As with everything, figure out how long it will take you to complete the writing and assign a fee to your time.

Does your friend have a connection with the person who funds that sponsored content? Enough to introduce or share samples of your product/movie reviews? There is so much ghostwriting that goes on in the blogging world, and it's clearly a talent of yours. Even if your friend doesn't have a relationship with the person/entity that provides the content, your friend can become a testimonial for you to approach the content sponsor. You'll need to do your research but it's not much different than a query letter for fiction. Once you get that first nibble, blow the client away with your high-quality writing and you're in. Let me know if you need help with the approach.

I also wrote a professional bio for a friend's business.

I help another friend with her blurbs.

I'm also good at writing/editing one pagers.

I caught an error in an article last week. Someone had mistakenly used homely for homey all throughout the article. My friend mentioned that it had passed several rounds of editing from the sponsor and still got through, and she hadn't noticed before she posted it. It was in the title of the article and should have been obvious because of the context.

Almost everyone in your network can benefit from stellar writing content. Check your cell phone photos, your checkbook register to see where (and with whom) you spend your money, your email inbox. Spouses and family members are also great resources. Not everyone has a *book* in them, but they may need help with newsletters, articles, blogs, podcasts, etc. Good luck! 🙂
