Consultant Thursdays: Blogging Is Not A Profit Center (Usually)
There’s are article about Gawker laying off 20 people, and bragging about it. I’m honestly too comfortable in the long run to see how content creation is going the way of the Model T (Or just redefining the Model T), but it doesn’t really affect why I’m writing this blog. It’s not to get rich off the banner advertising, that’s for sure.
Remember what the purpose is. And if you remember why you’re writing your blog (it’s to make money doing other things, like consulting), you’re better off.
Problogger, who actually makes a decent living off of blogging, has a great (archived) post about making money off of blogging through indirect methods. It’s really about having a purpose, yo.
