Biz, Tech: Want to make money as a blogger? Post a freaking lot.

  • I found pretty early that the more you blog, the more people will come back. I had asked a friend to step in when I went on vacation. When I got back, the statistics had skyrocketed because he was blogging over 20 times a day versus the one or two posts I did.
  • Writer Mark Frauenfelder • Founder of BoingBoing.net, who quit his job at Wired to post blogs all day. He eventually hired more staff, including the friend who stepped in for him. Boing Boing began as a zine and now earns its founder a six-figure salary. It can be done. According to BlogAds.com founder Henry Copeland, pro bloggers can earn between $2,000 and $10,000 a month putting funny stuff on the Internet. So, there is hope for us guys tilling the soil at Caribou Coffee! • source

    Yep quantity makes a difference. The real difficult bit is ensuring quality on all those posts.

    God bless… Disqus is using Twitter login. Speaking of blogging 20 times a day, did you hire an intern? Did I miss that post?

    Still working – lack of time plus recent injury has made it hard to focus on nailing that down, sadly. I’ve gotten a good amount of response though.
