Are you looking to become the next William Randolph Hearst? Thirsting for a media empire of your own? Then check out Posting for Profit in today's UK Guardian online( http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/story/0,3605,1423439,00.html ).
Writer Bobbie Johnson details a number of bloggers who are cashing in with commerical blogs. Some are grabbing book contracts; others are moving into punditry; and still others are crossing blogging with print media to try and create new products.
A few even hold fund-raising drives and have convinced their readers to send in donations.
"Thanks to these high-profile success stories, thousands of bloggers hold out hope of turning their hobby into a paying job,'' Johnson writes.
What's next? Lock-out sites available only to registered users? What's that? You want to read Buddy's Online Journal (apologies if such a blog exists)? Not so fast. You'll need to purchase a subscription.
Personally, I'm waiting for the inevitable round of IPBOs (Initial Public Blog Offerings) that will result and the subsequent second-generation online boom.
