Making money by blogging

Posted at 22:32 in Corporate Blogging.

Many people as for the "business model" behind blogging or behind whatever social activity on the web. It seems like such a waste of time! I just read a partial answer from BloggerCon News (impossible name in France!)

I myself have been offered jobs, have been asked to edit books, have been asked to dinner with interesting people that I didn't know but who read my blogs, have been asked on dates, and have generally been treated very differently and much more invitingly in a wide variety of situations because of my blogs, than if I didn't have them.
Even though this blog is definitely not as popular as BlogCon News, I have had similar experiences - except so far for dates and job offers that is. Indeed, The number of Cialis or online poker spam in my comments has skyrocketed, and the increasing number of job inquiries and resumes in my e-mail inbox is becoming somewhat annoying ;-) But in any case, the point is taken: blogging helps you build your network around the world, which eventually can prove to be extremely valuable. However, no free lunch here: it is also a time consuming investment.
