Want to Make Money from Celebrity Gossip? Here's How

Are you the kind of person that just can't get enough of celebrity gossip? We're guessing you probably have a passing interest if you're on this website, but have you ever wondered how you can make a living being involved in this stuff?

If you are a passionate writer who loves, or is just fascinated by celebrity culture, then this is what you need to know to turn that passion into a career.

Start a Blog

If you want to write in any kind of professional capacity today, a blog is an essential tool. Your blog will serve as both your online portfolio, and an opportunity for you to experiment with your writing. Don't think of a blog as necessarily a digital diary - those days are long gone. A blog can be a series of articles on subjects that you care about, and feel you can write reasonably well about, or it can be your occasional thoughts on whatever subject takes your fancy.

A blog will enable you to build an audience, hone your craft, and ultimately maybe attract the attention of a celebrity gossip site. If that's where you want to end up, this is the best place to start.

Make sure to look at blogging statistics to know exactly what content to write to attract the most relevant readers in masses.

Make Connections

Of course, connections to celebrities can be useful, but connections to the right agencies, people and businesses, particularly those that make the arrangements on behalf of celebrities, are better targets if your goal is to ultimately forge a career with celebrity gossip.

You should also make connections with people who run media outlets, whether they are online or offline, digital or analogue - anyone who is in a position to get you and your writing in front of a wider audience.

Social media can also offer many opportunities for making connections. Look for Instagram growth services or other companies that can help you expand your social media reach.

Make it a Business

Print journalism is a very difficult world to break into - a successful blog is a more realistic goal than launching a new magazine from scratch. However, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't make it an official business. Get yourself some proper office digs and recruit some other passionate writers to work with you. Making it official will really boost morale - it will also encourage other people to work with and for you.

However, renting out physical premises and paying for the necessary upkeep can be expensive. If you are already making some money or have some start-up capital to invest, you can consider finding a property that you can afford to buy outright. This is a cheaper proposition than many people realise, albeit still a relatively expensive one.

To get an idea of whether it's feasible for you, you can look at the prices for local real estate online. You can get an idea for your upkeep costs by using price comparison websites. For example, check out utilitybidder.co.uk to compare business electricity prices and business gas prices. You can do similar searches for water and other utilities to get a more accurate estimate of the costs involved.

If you are willing to put the legwork in, and suffer through the inevitable initial period of not making much, if any money, it is possible to forge a career around celebrity gossip. Don't stop writing until you get to where you want to be!
