Blogs to Riches – The Haves and Have-Nots of the Blogging Boom — New York Magazine

von | Feb. 15, 2006 | Blog, Digital Culture

New York Magazine has a rather long story about A, B and C list bloggers and how some earn serious money, while other (such as this one) just cost a lot of, well, mostly time.

What’s more, a blog is like a shark: If it stops moving, it dies. Without fresh postings every day—hell, every few minutes—even the most well-linked blog will quickly lose its audience.

Looking at how much I posted this year, it’s no surprise that this is no A-Blog.

But: if it needs that much posting to be an A-Blog, I don’t think I would want to be that in the first place. Just go to that article and read about the amount of work and paranoia some these people are putting into it – and not all of them get good money out of it.

Happy 1st Birthday to this Blog

This blog launched 1 year ago out of pure curiosity. I already read blogs, I had read about blogs and at some point I was wondering what it was like to have and maintain a blog myself.

So I started this one and decided that I would blog about anything related to web culture, web2.0, digital marketing and advertising. I considered this easy to do, since I work in interactive advertising and hence have to deal with this on a daily basis anyway.

But posting on a daily basis, I didn’t manage sofar. I admire all those bloggers who put out (quality) content everyday, many even several times a day – while having a regular day job!

Still, I really enjoy this, so in 2006 I’ll continue weblogging anything interesting I find during my exploration of – and journeys through – that web-jungle out there.

Up and onward. Have a great 2006!
