Entertainment blogs… you mean celebrity gossip and all those clickbait-y articles I see on social media, right?
Hey, we’re not gonna lie. Those articles fall under the category of entertainment. But you’ll be surprised by the variety of styles and topics in this niche.
And if celebrity antics aren’t your schtick, good news. Most of these publications and sites are interested in hiring freelance writers to write about something else. They already know where to go for famous people info.
So what’s your favorite form of entertainment? Music, TV, books, art, podcasts, video games, online videos, comedy, comics, or something else?
For research, you get to read even more online articles about those topics and keep up with your entertainment obsessions!

What Exactly Does an Entertainment Blogger Do?
Forget about glitz and glamour. This is about being a good writer and a somewhat obsessed fan.
You’ll probably fall in love with (or already be completely obsessed with) some niche categories in television, film, music, live performance, art, books, video games, or some other way of entertaining people.
You’ll know all the big names, the up-and-coming names, the complete newcomers that show tons of promise, the creators, the writers, and the performers.
You could whip out a listicle on 20 different topics in your favorite genre in 30 minutes. You already know what questions you’re dying to ask at least 10 up-and-coming people in your niche. In other words, this is your world.
You also have to do all the things other freelance writers do, of course. You stay up to date on your niche. (Easy, because you already love it!) You’ve got your favorite publications and editors. You follow and network with them regularly.
And if you’re doing all of that, then you know exactly what to pitch to everyone, because you know what they publish (and what they don’t).

OK, What About How to Become a Humor Writer?
Well… to start off, do you read other funny writers?
Like ANY OTHER freelance writing niche, you start with research (preferably on a subject you already enjoy reading). You’ll be surprised by what fits into this category. Your sense of humor could be dark, dry, silly, or satirical, for example.
True stories and first-person humorous essays are popular formats (and there are several publications that love them on this list). Truth can be stranger than fiction…. and more hilarious, too.
