Where’s the Money in Blogging?
The money’s not in your archives.
The money’s not in your Technorati rank.
The money’s not in your Google juice.
The money’s not in being on the A-List.
The money’s not in AdSense (unless you started 2+ years ago).
There is money in page views, but you’ll need a whole, whole bunch of them (which means you’ll need a whole, whole bunch of return visits).
Since the old days of mail order sales, magazine subscriptions, and all the way up to permission email marketing, there’s a saying that remains true, even for bloggers.
The money’s in the list.
But blogging actually provides so much more than a simple subscriber list of people to market to. Blogging allows for interactive relationships that force you to be your best, all while allowing your message to spread virally.
So, when it comes to blogging…
The money’s in your fan club.
Sound like the start of a new tutorial, right?
And this one is soooo money. :)
