今天我在看John Chow 寫的Blogging for Dollars – It’s Not Just a Hobby,給我一些學習,他說Business 2.0雜誌上有這篇”Blogging for Dollars”,因為是英文的,我沒仔細看,但是主旨這樣寫:『It’s not just a hobby – some small sites are making big money. Here’s how to turn your passion into an online empire.』,它不只是興趣嗜好-一些小的網站正在大賺特賺,以下是如何把你的激情轉變為線上帝國,裡面提到很多重量級的部落客都是從很小的網站開始,因為他們瘋狂的夢想,開始乘上internet賺錢的火車而駛向富有,像Michael Arrington這個部落客每月的收入就有$60,000之多,注意是美金喔,哇,那可能是我們的好幾十倍喔!
另外像Boingboing在某一年就扒了一百萬美金 !
另外像Paidcontent,也就是一年賺一百萬美金的,而他的總部在哪裡知道嗎?就在他加州聖摩尼卡(Santa Monica)家中的第二間臥室裡,天這麼冷,在臥室裹著棉被賺錢一定很舒服吧!
另外還有Fark.com,就他一個老闆跟兩個約聘人員,一個月賺$600,000到$800,000美金。
『For starters, blogs today benefit from what might be termed uneconomies of scale: They are so cheap to create and operate that a lone blogger or a small team can, with the ever-expanding reach of the Internet, amass vast audiences and generate levels of profit on a per-employee basis that traditional media companies can only fantasize about.
Still, the blogging-for-dollars phenomenon is only in its infancy, and already blog ad spending is roughly twice what it was last year. With overall Web advertising expected to grow by 50 percent to $23.6 billion in 2010, it’s certain that more and more ad dollars will land on blogs. For a growing cadre of bloggers, the opportunities to score fat profits from pumping out posts on whatever their particular passions might be are widening–and one consequence could be a radical reshaping of our notions of how to build a successful media company.』
這兩段就先不翻了,需要的我在想辦法!
Internet 確實改變了工作的方式,只要一個人有一個想法跟網路連接,就有可能成為一個賺個百萬的企業,這樣你還在等什麼?2010你準備好了嗎?
