Molly just found a way to get paid to post about her travels and will now use this space to encourage you, dear readers, to support her efforts there
1. If you have a blog with words (as opposed to a photo blog, wise guy) then at some point you have probably dreamed of writing the next classic novel.
2. If you have a blog, more than likely you write because you love to - but really wish there was some way to get paid for doing it.
3. We do not want to turn The Bumbles Blog into a place where space is for sale.
4. So Molly found a place that was actually smart enough to know a good thing when they saw her (hard to miss with all that groveling) and agreed to pay her to write.
5. She figured if she could make a little money on the side writing about something she would likely be posting about for free anyway, that maybe Andy wouldn't mind her hogging the laptop all the time.
6. Molly is not writing the next great classic novel through this job.
7. But she gets to create the next great travel blurbs about attractions throughout New England and anywhere else the Bumbles go.
8. She also gets to show off her photos and put them to better use than being stuffed away on a memory stick, or whatever those storage thingies are called.
9. She also gets to learn more technical aspects of the digital world (instead of referring to stuff as thingies) and add WordPress to her aresnal along with Blogger.
10. She is thrilled to be part of a blog with Barbara @ Hole In The Donut and Linda @ Travels With Children who she first came across in the meme world and through them discovered UpTake.
11. The pay will just about cover the cost to visit the attractions Molly will be posting about. So expect lots of posts about cheap things to do!
12. The UpTake Attractions Blog has writers who cover places and different types of things all across the US and Canada. So you not living in New England is no excuse not to follow the blog.
13. Now be a good critic and click here to see for yourself how Molly did and let us know what you think. It's OK to be honest - Bumbles can't bite.

MEET THE BUMBLES...
- The Bumbles
- Natick, MA, United States
- Molly & Andy and their son Sam are big fans of spending time with their family and friends, taking in sports or movies, and crossing places off their travel wish list. Although they do like to stay home with their kitty too. Additionally, Molly has more of a passion for photography and books while Andy prefers to be Concert Boy instead, rocking out to his favorite music. If you like what you see be sure to subscribe to our blog below and come back often! You can also view Molly's contributions to the group book blog, Quirky Girls Read.

Very cool!
Fun happy TT
VERY neat. I'll have to look into it! Happy TT.
wow, i am looking for paid writing stuff too... :) ill be checking out your links!
happy TT!
That's great. From my experience, though, writing for payment may be something we need, but it's not as much fun as writing for pleasure.
Molly, you rock! That was a great article! I would love to figure out how to blog and make money (and not by plastering adds all over my webpage!). That would be my dream job, because you are correct, I love to write. Congrats, and I'm jealous!
i think paying for doing the things you love is the best job in thw world, Good for Molly, way to go!!!
by the way, I miss this blog. :)
interesting idea!
I like your new travel site. Good job.
Congrats. on the new gig. Good luck with it.
Thanks for sharing. Happy TT!
Very cool! Congratulations!
*hugs*

My TT is at http://paigetylertheauthor.blogspot.com/
Wow, Molly, that's awesome! Good luck in your new venture :-)
too cool!
happy TT!
Lovely TT! How great to get paid for what you love to do. I went over and read your review. It's very interesting and informative. I want to go there!
Thanks for visiting my blog. Unfortunately my cats are all at the Bridge but live forever in my heart. I would like to take in some rescues but my house is very cluttered so I think the shelters would turn me down.
Interesting T-13 and good luck with your writing Molly.
Hugs and blessings,
Hope you have a lot of fun doing it, Molly, I can definitely see the attraction (bad pun intended). Also glad about #3.
Congratulations on the new gig! Hey do you have a very small mascot? It would be fun to have a Where's Waldo sort of picture with the mascot is unobtrusively in the travel photo.
You could challenge your readers to find the Bumbles Mascot every time you travel and post about it.
Of course the winner would simply win the knowledge that they have the keenest eye in the land.
Regardless, congratulations and have fun!
Sounds like me, after a year of blogging wanting to get paid for what I want to do anyways, which is when I approached the local newspaper editor and started writing for her. First freelance and then she started giving me assignments.
I'd love to find a similiar venue in Virginia to what Molly is doing. I'll check out the links. Thanks.
Very nice, Molly. What a great opportunity!
Good luck to Molly! That's nice.
Thanks for stopping by my site on Wednesday when I had questions about the mystery plant in my yard. Today I’ve posted what I believe is the answer with details: http://blondesherry.blogspot.com/2009/05/mystery-solved-its-not-yucky-its-yucca.html
Glad to have you on the Uptake Attractions team!
