Thanks for this info. This confirms another article that I found in researching what might be acceptable, regarding paying writers.

I have been researching what is the right price to pay writers for my blog (continuingeducationjournal.com), so all of this is very helpful.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Very interesting post. I have been wondering about this for a long time now. I see adds everyday all day saying how you can make millions from home, so I never really paid attention to anything like this before. I actually started my first blog last week, just for fun, and to run an experiment to see if it’s actually possible to make even a little money. It’s a all-in-one blog to help beginners like me enter the world of blogging. I just started so I have a very long time before I start having large levels of traffic but this is a good blog to keep in mind for the future.

THANK YOU again!

Lookery article was educational and clear. I guess this will become a topic now with the way the economy is going. I will keep checking for your posts also. /raj

This article talks about TechCrunch’s slowdown, and it’s pretty right on the money IMO.

Most CMS sites like that are ad revenue-based, but have to deliver traffic. Will put a post together about this next week when I have more research and links. The thing about these sites, is that you can’t open right off the bat and monetize without having the traffic to back it up, because advertisers won’t buy ads.

Thanks Monica!
I will look into it.

Any links to which sites make money, or the range of their revenues. For example, what does Mashable, Giga Om, TechCrunch or Politico make.

Or, what does it Cost to run businesses like that? Educated guesses are fine with me. (I am looking for this info to develop a plan fr a niche site.)

I can certainly help cover this, but it might take a bit of work to get the “case studies.” There are so many examples out there of sites doing this, it’s actually more common than you might think. Cost? Can cost next to nothing if you use a Content Management System like WordPress.

Good write-up, and links and follow-on articles.

I am neither a blogger nor much of a writer. But I have a website I was thinking of developing. Any insights on how does one go about developing an unique, niche-content site that has multiple 3rd party or contract bloggers? What does it take financially, legally and technically?

This topic could be useful to many people I think (?) Any example or case studies would be helpful. Thank you. /raj
