I know it might sound silly, but if you are a writer without a published work to your name you might need to create a few before you become a hired hand at your favorite blogging spot. Personally I wrote up several different types of articles covering the areas I knew the most about. Then I linked them up on my personal site (which also doubles as my resume) and was ready to give looking for a freelance writing job another chance.

The second time around I was welcomed with much warmer arms of amazement and didn’t have any proverbial doors shut on my nose.

Each time I got a gig’ I added whatever I wrote for them to my resume links, so others could see my work there too. Fast forwarding to where we are now I have written so many articles, posts, podcasts and more there is no way I could fit them all on one list. Just don’t forget that when your first starting out with the online writing game that you have to have examples of your work, the best you have to offer, if you want to make your name from behind your keyboard.

Cut to the Chase, How Can I Quit My Job and Start in Web Hosting?

So how does one get a job in the web hosting game? That is the topic I covered on this week’s Web Hosting Show guide podcast. From begining to end I spend the entire show covering the following topics:

• Am I an Employee or a Contracted Worker?
• Experience Workers Make the Best Workers!
• Show Me Some of That Web Hosting Money!
• What Type of Web Hosting Jobs Are There?
• Where Can I Find Available Hosting Jobs?

Plus a heck of a lot more. If your looking to switch jobs, this episode was done just for you. Interested? Don’t wait – learn how you can get your first hosting gig courtesy of the Web Hosting Show podcast.

Yes, I did get another job and I am now working once again inside of the Web hosting industry, but I wouldn’t call myself a sell out.

I would call myself employed. Don’t worry though, nothing will be changing here – and just to prove it to you the Web Hosting Show is now on the air.

It has been two years since I last worked in this type of job, but I think as soon as I get used to it again, all should be well. Customer support is like riding a bicycle, right?

I am looking at finding one or maybe even two jobs that would keep me busy with anything from grunt work to article writing. You can take a look at my full resume if you wish, but let me pick out some of my favorite parts.

Here are a few testimonials that have been said about my work:
