Small Business Blogging

December 27, 2007 in Miscellaneous | Permalink

The N.Y. Times has an interesting piece (“…Low-Cost, High Return Marketing“) on small business bloggers. It concludes that consultants are the mostly likely bloggers.  Aliza Sherman Risdahl, author of The Everything Blogging Book, comments that “They [consultants] are experts in their fields and are in the business of telling people what to do.â€?  A member of the health blogging community, consultant David Harlow of HealthBlawg, is even profiled.

Only a few blog make enough money from advertising to be worthwhile in a purely dollars and sense terms.  Nevertheless, the small business blog writers use the sites to network with others, build their reputation, and (hopefully) eventually get hired.

    Jason,

    I’m looking for empirical evidence that “only a few blogs make enough money from advertising to be worthwhile in a purely dollars and sense terms.” I believe that statement to be true but I’m wondering if you know of anyone who’s done the research.

    Thanks.
