How many times you have heard that you can earn extra income through blogging? Or you can become rich through blogging. Especially in the recent bloggers meetups in Pakistan, you must have been impressed with young bloggers earning a decent amount of money through blogging. After those meetups, we have witnessed many new blogs coming up; some productive and few unproductive, hoping to earn extra revenue from it.

How many times did you think to start a blog in order to earn money? or to make it a profession; that is to make it your fulltime job/business? You might have done the research work also. Such as what blogging is, how to blog, eligibility to become a blogger etc. You might have come across with various opinions like not just any other person can become a blogger, or everybody can not earn through it, passion is required, skills are required, you gotta be intelligent and blah blah.

But wait a moment, Aren’t we forgetting the basic principle/objective of business/entrepreneurship? the sole objective is to “earn profit”. I mean what if a person has good and competent entrepreneurial skills but he is not good at writing? or as they say, he doesn’t have “passion” to write. To hell with that, let me solve your mystery. You are not good at writing, leave it, don’t write. Yes you can still become an owner of a blog without writing yourself.

Yes! don’t write, you can still take blogging as a business by hiring professional writers. They will blog for you on the topic of your choice. You earn through ads and pay your writers. And of course your entrepreneurial skills will be applied there at leading the team of writers. All you can do with a little investment.

Now below are the few FAQs you may like to consider.

1) What the initial investment is required for?

Ans: For having a blog up, i.e. hosting/domain, Search Engine Optimization etc. Also you may need to pay your writers from your own pocket until your business starts earning.

2) Will I have to have an office for me and my writers?

Ans: That’s absolutely not necessary, you can take the start from your home and your writers can also work from home.

3) Is there any risk involved? What’s the guarantee that I will start earning through Ads?

Ans: Yes! The Risk is involved, an entrepreneur should always ready for risk taking : ). And about the guarantee, it depends on the quality of the content you generate.

4) Where can I find the writers?

There are many job boards for bloggers/home based employees, out there. You can post your ads for FREE. Few of them are listed below:

a) AarpixJobs.Com

b) ProBlogger Jobs

c) BloggerJobs.biz

Rumors were correct! ony has recently unveiled Sony Walkman NWZ-X1000 with touchable AMOLED Display. Have a look at it:

It is the NWZ-X1000 Walkman with a touchable 3 inch AMOLED Display.

This mp4 player comes in 16GB and 32GB flavors with internet/web and WiFi support.

Against Apples Ipod the display is half an inch smaller! But it’s an AMOLED so you can expect brighter colors and better contrast

Missing someone who is no longer in this world? Ever thought of creating a memorial, dedicating website of someone who has passed away? Well I expect it would be indeed a nice idea to present a tribute or to pay respect to someone who has passed away. This memorial could be for the loved ones etc. We have seen memorials like a hospital, an education institute, an NGO, or social welfare organizations etc. But now, there is something else we can present as a tribute; i.e. a memorial website.

Last-Memories.com is an innovative free web service that allows to create a free momorial website in memory of your loved ones.

Last-Memories.Com provides you with the necessary tools to create an e-sanctuary with your most precious personal memories of the departed as well as the memories of family and friends so that his or her life and the influence they had on other people will always be remembered. It also provides comprehensive tools for posting Photos, Videos, Audios. I found it a nice idea, creating a memorial website as a tribute to someone. Perhaps you should also try this:

Ever wondered where you could find a list of google doodles to date? Official or unofficial? Want to share a doodle you created? or just want to see a doodle again that you liked so much? Well! here it is. While searcing something, I entered a nice blog that has a collection of official and unofficial Google logos.

The name of the blog is Google-Logos.com

This blog is created by two serious fans of Google and this blog shows a collection of official google logos, google holiday logos, google art, logos by google fans etc. The year archive lists logos from the year 1998 to 2008 and is in very organized way and easy to navigate.

In their Top Official Logos page, they show a precise collection of the top official logos designed by the Google designers. So I recommend to those; who are either Google fans or just interested in checking out their logos or to submit your own, Google-Logos is a nice place to do so.

Today I stumbled upon a site that was boasting to offer what a lot of people on the internet want! They offer a desktop application that can be used to login to all your favorite web services simultaneously, after being logged into a single and simple messenger.

It looked interesting and therefor I thought to give it a try and suggest it to my readers. This application is named as Digsby and offers the following services to be logged into.

Instant Messaging:

• AIM
• MSN/Windows Live
• Yahoo
• Gtalk
• ICQ
• Facebook

Email Services:

• Gmail
• Windows Live Mail
• Yahoo Mail
• AOL Mail
• IMAP/POP

Social Networks:

• Facebook
• MySpace
• Twitter
• Linked In

After downloading, I installed it, it took about 2-3 minutes while installing. Right after installation, it asked me to sign up for an account on Digsby’s site. Sign up form was short and simple, therefor I didn’t hesitate while signing up. After logging in, a neat window appeared that asked me to add services; for each service i.e. Email, IM, or Social Network, I had to write login credentials. All of my online contacts, email notifications were shown in a neat looking messenger.

The things I liked the most:

Facebook Alerts:

Keeping track of social networks and receiving updates.

Multitasking:

Multitasking enables to reply a chat right from popup window

My Comments about the Service:

Overall I liked the service, it’s neat clean and convenient. But while using it, I noticed Digsby doesn’t offer that much features of a particular messenger as the original does. So for MSN or Yahoo addicts, I would recommend to stay with your favorite messengers. But for those who use lots of IM/Email/Social Networking services, or those who are extremly busy and hardly get any time to check the updates and activities of their IM/Email/Social Networks, I think Digsby is a great tool to work with. It helps you to keep a track of all the activities going on.
