Blog Network to Sell For $20 Million Plus

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-a-lot-of-ad-hits dept.

Victor Cheng writes "Blogs are big money. The Weblogs Inc Network is apparently about to be sold for over $20 million to AOL, an individual blogger is making over $400,000 per year from his living room, a blogger writing about shoes is claiming a six figure income and blog networks are starting every second day with hopes of making it big. It looks like it might be time to dust off the old blogspot blog again."

    an individual blogger is making over $400,000 per year from his living room

    Sadly, most of that will now go towards his bandwidth costs.

    I can stay home and write stupid shit that nobody cares about, so where's my six figure salary?

    I think the money comes when one writes stupid shit that people do care about.

    I am not sure why this is hard to understand. Your comment could also apply to novelists, and in fact the ratio of six figure salary earners to everybody else is probably much the same in that profession.
