| blogging for bucks I read this article (or arguement) of two well known business types (whom I have never heard of) debating Can Bloggers Make Money ? One thing that stands out is, "Yes, but only if they fill a niche and lots of people are interested in that niche." OK, nobody but me said that. Let's say I wanted to quit working as a retail whore (more whore, less retail everyday) and write a blog fulltime. What would be my niche? Right now it's churning out material from other blogs, i.e. leeching. My niche would have to be me, right? What else? So would I find all the various elements of my life and right blog entries about them? Interesting entries, that is. Would I wander through my cookbooks and write blorkish style cooking adventures as I imagine 101 Cookbooks does? Would I write movie reviews like gKent does? Or how about details on the D&D and RPGing world ala EN World, from the perspective of someone who doesn't play anymore? How about news from the video gaming world, which I have never really been part of but can fake it because I am old enough to have played them for 25 years. A music blog, even though I haven't bought more than 5 CDs in 5 years? Just WHAT would I write about or are all my niches already filled? I am sure I could write soley on the niche of the aging geek, his problems with being near 40, indentity loss, belly expansion, career, personal endeavours, etc. Someone would want to read that, right?
