Translating to "Blog factory," Blogfabrik also connects writers with paid gigs through its affiliated agency, Kiosk. Claudio Rimmele, creative director and editor-in-chief of DailyBreadMag, says, "We explore [the freelancers’] abilities and skills with the magazine to see if someone is really talented at taking pictures, writing, or designing graphics. Then we feel confident about connecting our freelancers with incoming jobs from outside companies."
