Are you wondering on blogging for buck? Here’s a chance: Blogging Network. These people are paid to write! It basically is a subscribing idea where you need to sign-up an account to read all the blogs, and paid by monthly or yearly for your subscription. How’s the blogger get paid? Half of the readers’ subscribing fee is divided between the writers they read.
I am not sure how’s the idea working out. Back to the dotCom era, there’re implementations of micropayment mechanism for popular writers who used to publish on paper or books. But it didn’t succeed and Internet users were just too used to free stuff. May be blogging activity could achieve it, when there are more good writing and pepole more used to blog reading.
Would I write better if I was paid? I doubt it. Somehow I’m trying my best and hoping my writing get improved day by day.
Would you pay to read your favourite blogs? Guess it’s OK for me, there’re brilliant writers out there. And it’s like paying for magazines. I don’t read magazines nowadays, I read the web.
