Biz, Tech: Want to make money as a blogger? Post a freaking lot.

  • I found pretty early that the more you blog, the more people will come back. I had asked a friend to step in when I went on vacation. When I got back, the statistics had skyrocketed because he was blogging over 20 times a day versus the one or two posts I did.
  • Writer Mark Frauenfelder • Founder of BoingBoing.net, who quit his job at Wired to post blogs all day. He eventually hired more staff, including the friend who stepped in for him. Boing Boing began as a zine and now earns its founder a six-figure salary. It can be done. According to BlogAds.com founder Henry Copeland, pro bloggers can earn between $2,000 and $10,000 a month putting funny stuff on the Internet. So, there is hope for us guys tilling the soil at Caribou Coffee! • source
