For many of you this may be the first blog you have been a part of; for other it may be a long list of ones you follow. Me personally, this is my first year being a part of the blogging community. However, to most people blogs are the new news paper, media center, and information highway. Some people even make money by getting people to sponsor and advertize on their blog pages. Check out what these BIG time Bloggers make:
- http://www.boingboing.net/ make over $1 million per year, has 2.6 million visitors per month
- http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/ makes over $5,600 per month, 500,000-1.5 million views per day
- http://www.thedigeratilife.com/go/shoemoney-tools, makes $1200 0 month and has 20,000 visitors per day.
My question for you….. If you had to start a blog what would it be about? Who would be your intended audience? Could you see yourself making this a career, or a hobby? I could sure go for making an extra $5600 a month :)
If I were to make a blog it would probably be about soccer. It would talk about the main cups; score boards, player with the most goals, goalie with the least goals, and team rankings, also it would talk about main events of that day's games. It would have like mini clips of the games and major goals or errors. This blog would be intended for those soccer fanatics that weren't able to see the game of that day or aren't aware of the score board, or simply want to know whats going on in their favorite league. I don't consider blog writing a career, you can easily write a blog at night or day and go to work while your not blogging. Although I do think that if I were to write this soccer blog i would have to invest more than just 15 minuets to it. And it would be nice to get some cash from it too.

The term blog is a shortened form of web-log or weblog. A blog is a A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links. A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominently.Blogs use a conversational style of documentation.Often blogs focus on a particular “area of interest”or even personal experiences.

If I had to start a blog I would started by commenting about saving life animals in Dominican Republic. My intended audience would be animal’s savers and the public. I don’t see myself doing this career or hobby because I’m not interested in it.
ReplyDeleteOk... lets see. If I were to create a blog I would make it about a topic that would interest teens because they are the ones that actually get online. First I would ask myself, what do teens like most? And then I would write about that. I think I would talk about whatever comes to my mind.... different topics that may interest people. For example, i would write about my beliefs about the things we do daily like go our, hang out with friends, movies, music, fashion, food, or whatever comes to my mind at the moment. Maybe I could write short stories. I like creating stories in my head, but then I don't know how to put it in paper. I could also give advise to people who may need it.
ReplyDeleteehh.. If I were to create a blog, it would be about tennis. It would contain information like, who's number one, in both ATP and WTA, the points each tennis player have accumulated, and latest news. It would also have two calendars ( one for ATP and another for WTA), each briefly explaining time, country, and date, for all tournaments for the season. It would include pictures of tennis players, a scoreboard, and I'll facilitate an option where you can actually listen to the match's commentators, talking about the current match.
ReplyDeleteObviously, the audiences would be tennis lovers, like me..
I would definitely do it as a hobby and see what people comment about tennis, and their opinions... just for fun.
If I were to create a blog, I would do so about economics.
ReplyDeleteI would not do so right now; however, I would try to follow the idea of eradicating Pop Internationalism, as Paul Krugman has done so far.
The idea would be to describe economics without being subject to erroneous assumptions governments, politicians, and public figures attempt to portray in an effort to convince "society" on what is actually going on.
This of course I would do much later in time, after my career in economics where I would hold a, somewhat of, comparative advantage in the subject. This would definitely be a hobby and I would not mind some really good advertisements on my website ;)!
LOL , If I had to do a Blog it would be about probablly Gossip, Fashion Trends, whats hot....
ReplyDeleteI would always ask myself: "what do I know tons about of?" and of course "whats moving the masses?" :) :DDDDDD But this of course would be a hobby on my fashion website ;D
examples of awesome blogs of fashion and gossip that have make a mark in trend and fashion are bloggers like Perez Hilton, I mean, one can never now what is going to turn to be your job in the future...;P
To be honest, i never had a blog or followed any in particular; it has never gotten my attention far and strong enough for me to have one.
ReplyDeleteNow, just for fun to say it, my blog would be about philosophy and theology, i would be interested in what people have to say about topics revolving around the mentioned above. However, i dont intend to have one neither for a hobby nor for a career. but who knows, if people win money with it and i dont have money to pay the rent of my place then i would give it a try.
Well, this is my firs time being part of a blog. If I see myself creating one it would be as a hobby. My blog's topic could be about donation such as food and/or money, and helping others in need. It would be intended for any kind of audience that is interested in contributing in donating for a specific cause.
ReplyDeletedamn after i write a god response my comp wanaa erase it...isn't that annoying but to answer your question.
ReplyDeleteYO MRS. V SIGN ME UP FOR BLOG POSTING FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!...hahahaha
Listen i don't care what anyone says i would sleep, drink, and eat blogging if it gives me a better living then working in mickey d's and in an office with an annoying boss and co- workers.
Blogging i bet isn't fun to do 24/7 but i doubt it will take that long to do so; and if it were that boring i wouldn't make my life consumed with posting i would do "HOBBIES" on the side haha. I mean if i got the money then why not?
To rap it up...sign me up i wouldn't mind making a couple million by sitting on my buttocks for a couple hrs, running my own business, having free time whenever i want, and having free speech 24/7 and not getting arrested for it or fired hahahha!!!
oh and yeah..i would do it on math...music...all types of performing arts...and mainly things people wouldn't know that involves with their everyday lives, about things they can use to make their life a better to make better decisions.
ReplyDeletePersonally I’m not a big fan of blogging and as the majority of my classmates this is my first participation in a blog. If I have to do a blog it would definitely be for money since I don’t see myself doing it as a hobby. My blog would consist of the problems happening worldwide such as war, politics, economy, natural disasters… my indented audience would involve anyone who wants to be correctly inform by facts about the problems happening around them.

If I HAD to make a blog and depend on it for making money i would make it be one that has information about everything. I would get other blogs to post my link in their blog this way there would be more traffic and my blog would earn more. I would try to get the most paying advertisements and always would be trynig to get more traffic to the blog.
