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

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

A New Zealand based iPhone Wannabe Mat Brady designs a new concept for iPhone. Mat is currently an unsatisfied user of Nokia N95 and wants to switch to iPhone. But wait a moment, he isn’t happy with the features of current iPhone also, so what exactly he wants is a customized iPhone with added features. So he presents his idea and is hopeful for consideration.

Here is his message to the Steve Jobs:

“Hi Steve,  As you can see I’ve made a few design suggestions to your iPhone. I’ve held off getting an iPhone until it gets a better camera. (See pic) Let me know when I can get rid of my N95.”

Cheers,
Mat Brady

Now the question arises that why does he want to go for an iPhone? I mean when he is asking for added feature, he could have asked for added features in any other phone or PDA, but Mat himself explains that he actually has become a fan of Mac since he bought 17″ MacBook Pro and 24″ iMac.

Now if we analyze the Mat’s proposed design, it seems to be quite nasty but interesting.

The Boston Globe reported yesterday that GateHouse has filed a lawsuit against The New York Times, accusing NYTimes’ newly launched Boston Global Newton website for copying content from GateHouse’s Newton’s local website Wicked Local Newton.

GateHouse claimed that Boston Global’s use of its content constitutes unfair business practices and has alleged the company of copyright infringement, trademark dissolution, unfair competition, false advertising and breach of contract.

GateHouse also blamed that NYTimes’ newly launched website YourTown Newton illegally copies contents from various news sources and blog features. They suggested that if NYTimes want to compete, they should hire their own journalists and should generate original content, rather then just illegally copying.

NYTimes’ spokeswoman stated that their website has been legally aggregated and linking to the content from various sources through RSS. She says they link back the content to their original sources. She further said that they have been doing what thousands of other websites on the internet are doing.

Now it is difficult to say that who will win because syndication or linking to content is a common practice. Google (the search giant)’s entire infrastructure is based on crawling and syndicating to the websites. Blog aggregators, news aggregators are very common; we can take an example of Google News . They syndicate the entire content from news resources.

Your opinion is important, you can express it in the comments below.

Intel conducted an online survey to find out how important the usage of internet for women is, and why really they use internet, and would they prefer using internet to sex. This study shows interesting results. Half of the women from ages 18-34 say that they prefer internet. Yes! guys, that’s true! and most women use internet for blogging and for comparing the prises of different commodities and goods.

WSJ tech news reported:

An online survey commissioned by Intel has found, among other things, that 46% of women would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up the Internet for that long. The numbers get bigger for certain age groups; 49% of women aged 18-34 would make that choice, and 52% of women aged 35-44.

Now all I have to say is; beware guys! hehehe. I mean in todays world, men have been facing challenges in their sex life, now this is just another hurdle.

In my opinion, that study doesn’t depict eastern or asian girls; I mean most of them are sex addict and even they use internet mostly for dating purpose. ROFL what you think about it? do mention in comments
