Expect to see a lot of posts like this in the next week or so if you read a lot of UK blogs.
Company Magazine have dubbed their April 2010 issue ‘The Bloggers Issue’, which means it’s full of contributions, feature and quotes from all around blogosphere. My input was pretty small – I spoke a little about making money from blogging, which you can see a clipping of below.
I could ramble on about this topic for ages, but I think the other bloggers in the piece have given some really great tips, so I won’t!
I will just clarify that I never actually said selling your blog was the “most profitable” thing to do. It can be profitable, and I did sell my blog, but I still got to edit it as part of my job for the next few years, I didn’t just sell and walk away. If you’re going to sell outright, you need to bear in mind you’ll probably be giving up something you love and passing it over to someone who does things differently (if not worse) than you would. It’s not something to go into lightly and I don’t want to come across as someone who recommends selling sites for a quick buck. Think hard before you hand over any kind of power!
I was also quoted in Sian’s piece about women bloggers, which you can see on her blog.
Company are now running a poll where you can vote for your favourite blogger of all the ones featured in the issue. Given that I’m up against not only sites I love but also one that I write for, I’m not going to beg for votes. There are plenty of talented, lovely people on the list from such different areas of the blogosphere, and all of them are deserving winners.
