Yesterday we took a look at a performance marketing firm called Prospectiv that specializes in helping brands reach women online. Today we’re going to continue with the female focus and take a look at BlogHer, a Belmont, CA based community and media company for women. In fact, they’re the “largest community of women who blog” with more than 23 million unique visitors per month. The company was founded in 2005, and since then its vision has been to “create opportunities for women who blog to gain exposure, education, community and economic empowerment.” Believe it or not, blogging is a big business, and BlogHer is leveraging the size of its community to create amazing opportunities for all of its members.

There are a number of pieces that make up the BlogHer business. One of the big pieces is their conference business which brings together the BlogHer community in real life. In fact, they put on the world’s largest conference for women in social media. In addition to the conferences, BlogHer also runs BlogHer.com, a content site, and the BlogHer Publishing Network, which is made up of 2,500 blogs. All of this adds up to a lot of pull with advertisers who want to reach women, which is why BlogHer is venture funded and has grown to more than 40 employees. They’re adding to that number, and you can learn more about those opportunities on BlogHer’s Jobs page. Right now they’re looking for a hybrid Sales Operations Analyst/Sales Planner in their New York City office. It’s a contract position, and it does require some prior experience, but it looks like it could be a great fit for a new or recent grad.
