Blogging for dollars
4Mar2003 Filed under: LinkageEver since I wrote about the I Love Your Work blog (or whatever it is), I’ve been thinking a lot about blogging for dollars. Especially with the new nanopublishing project I’m working on with some friends, and now these interesting discussions of blogging as marketing on Anil’s site, MeFi, and Blogroots, the issue is very much in the forefront of my mind. I’ve been a blogger for two and a half years, a copywriter for three. I spontaneously blend the two so often that I even have a whole category for it. Where does the line get drawn? I’m not sure yet.
Update: Another interesting (and impecably researched) perspective on the issue, via Helen Jane.

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

It remains to be seen if this is a service anyone needs… if it is, there will be a whole lot of happy campers in blogland. Keep us updated.

i’m certainly hoping it sticks.
i’d like to see it paid blogging develops as *experience*
just blogging ABOUT a product isn’t enough, i’d like to hear about someone’s experience in a factory or in the fields.
