Professional blogging has its ups and downs

Being a professional blogger I get some strange requests at times from companies that want me to write a blog post for them. Just the other day I got a request for a website review for me to do and put on my dog blog. They offered $40 for the review and written post. I thought wonderful until I found out the website they wanted me to write about was for auto parts. I had to email them back and decline the offer. Yes I like the money but I will not go off subject matter for my blogs. I get some strange offers for this blog, one to do a review about the side effects of hydroxycut of all things. When will these people even bother to check the blog before they make such unreal requests. The money is still very much there for a professional blogger to make a living but you need to have several established blogs to make a go of it. You will also turn down a lot of questionable websites and products even if the money is good. I will not write about anything that I don't investigate first and believe it to be a good thing.
