Where To Go Next

Is there anything that really needs to be said about anything anymore. Hundreds of blogs are popping up daily and most of them are basically saying the same thing. I have been so busy over the last couple of months working on my new project that I haven’t had much time for my blogs.

But to tell you the truth, not much has changed.

Is anybody original anymore? I know there are still a few leaders out there, and I know with my lack of dedication to my blogs that I am definitely not one of them. But come on, can’t somebody come up with new innovative ways to make some money online or get more loyal readers to your blog. I guess you can’t reinvent the wheel!

I am seriously thinking about leaving the blogging world behind, because what I have found is that the grass is much greener on the other side. My new business is rolling and there seems to be no end in sight. I really can’t let the cat out of the bag just yet, but maybe one day soon I will provide just a taste of what it is that my partners and I are doing.

Sorry for the rambling post, but sooner or later it may just be my last.

Good luck and much success.

Getting Your Blog To Pay You For Your Time

There is another great opportunity for bloggers to make some extra cash from their blog by writing simple reviews. This time the offer comes from BlogKits and should be an amazing money making opportunity for anyone who runs a content based blog. You can find all the information on getting paid from your blog through BlogKits by reading their latest press release.

‘How Do I Make My Blog Pay Me? - I’ll Write a Review!’ — BlogKits Looking for Bloggers

BlogKits Review currently needs bloggers to write honest, interesting reviews in their blogs.

BlogKits Review requires the services of bloggers who own or contribute to blogs in which a review or reviews would be appropriate. BlogKits Review (http://blogkits.com/review) awards US $100 per week to the best-submitted review for each of its campaigns in addition to paying for every click on links to the reviewed advertisers.

The blogged reviews do not have to be positive, but BlogKits does ask for substantiated opinions.

André Clements, the Executive Editor of BlogKits Review says, “Quality posts are important to make this relatively new program increasingly attractive to advertisers, thereby creating more earning potential for independent writers.”

BlogKits Review actively promotes winning review posts through press release networks, offering extra visibility and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) value to serious writers and bloggers in addition to the earning potential of placing BlogKits advertisements on blogs.

“The truth is that there are currently relatively few highly skilled writers involved giving any well constructed and substantiated review a solid chance of winning the weekly $100 award along with some industrial grade link-love from for example the PRWEB network which propagates onto sites like Yahoo and Google news,” Clements said.

This might be part of what prompted ‘tyinquarter,’ the blogger behind ‘Start Building Sites That Pay!’ to write ‘BlogKits rock for multiple pay streams!‘ and even though he highlights some aspects of BlogKits that he feels could do with improvement he won $100.

The BlogKits Review program is supported and managed by ForgeBusiness - a reputable player in the global affiliate marketing arena. Bloggers interested in participating can sign up at blogkits.com

(PRWEB) September 3, 2007 — Every blogger has wondered, “How do I make my blog pay me back for all the time, effort and attention I invest in it?” BlogKits Review might just be the opportunity that bloggers have been looking for. An opportunity for bloggers to get paid for writing reviews.

The First Newspaper Dedicated To Only Bloggers

Well, it’s finally here. The first ever newspaper dedicated to only blogs. Packed with feature posts and other great writings floating around the blogoshere, TheIssue is here to bring you the latest blogging news as told by bloggers. Below is the press release that became available earlier today.

Launch of TheIssue.com - The First Blog Newspaper

TheIssue.com, the Internet’s first blog newspaper, is proud to announce its launch to the public on August 27th, 2007. TheIssue.com is a first to market online news destination that exclusively features blog articles and other citizen media. Despite the exploding popularity of blogs and their evolution from Internet curiosities into serious media destinations, there is currently no viable “blog only” newspaper replacement. TheIssue.com fills this gap.

Stephen Puschel, cofounder, remarked, “The news helps to define the general perception of the world we live in. I think it’s critical that this perception is not just dominated by large corporations, but that individual voices can have an influence.” Matt Dalio, cofounder, said, “By harnessing the diversity of the blogosphere, we can serve as a window into any perspective, helping our readers develop a three dimensional understanding of every issue we cover.”

TheIssue.com is a new and completely unique breed of digital media provider. Articles are handpicked from a regularly updated database of thousands of high quality blogs in order to provide readers with a breadth of perspective and depth of reporting not currently offered by any existing single news source.

Andrew Puschel, Chief Marketing Officer, stated, “We are incredibly excited to fill what we think is an obvious niche in online news. TheIssue.com is truly unique in that it provides a vehicle for the average reader to benefit from the wealth of perspectives and information found within the blogosphere.”

A blog, short for weblog, is a website in which an individual or group produces periodic entries that are displayed in reverse chronological order. The range of topics written on by bloggers is practically limitless. It is possible to find blogs on subjects as common as gardening, as esoteric as nuclear fission, and as offbeat as one can imagine. While their quality ranges as widely as their subject matter, many blogs are recognized for their excellence, acumen, and candor. “Most bloggers are writing on what they care about, so there’s an honesty and genuineness there that news really needs,” commented Joshua Haas, Chief Technology Officer.

Over a quarter of all Americans have visited at least one blog, and many of these individuals turn to blogs as their primary news sources. Despite this unprecedented popularity there exists no viable option for readers simply looking to get high quality daily news from the blogosphere. Until now.

Readers of TheIssue.com will have free and unprecedented access to blog articles handpicked by an editorial team for relevance, quality, and diversity of perspective. The home page features headline news, news by genre, a What Ever Happened To… section, and The Issue of the Day–a deep dive into a particular topic featuring contrasting perspectives from multiple articles. Old content will be archived for easy access in the future.

Founded in 2007, TheIssue.com aims to provide readers of online news with a way to access the best content of the blogosphere using a familiar and intuitive interface.

New York City, NY (PRWEB) August 27, 2007 — Announcing the official launch of TheIssue.com - the Internet’s first blog newspaper. Editorial team culls blogosphere for articles of the highest quality, relevance and most unique perspectives. Readers of TheIssue.com have free and complete access to “best of the blogosphere” content. No article selection is ever arbitrary or automated.
