Congratulations to each of you for launching your blogs—a huge and cake-worthy milestone. But it's not all cake and glory. This week we will be investigating the business of blogging (i.e. the pleasures and perils of selling out). Please read "yes, Virginia, there is an agenda," by Bonnie Stewart, and I'd also recommend checking out "I cannot be that person: why the 'Queen of the Mommy Bloggers' had to quit" and "The anti-social media star," by Amy Verner.
And for those interested in such things, this piece on getting paid for online writing (and not getting paid for online writing) is worthwhile too.
Hi Kerry - would love to read the third article (by Amy Verner) but the link doesn't seem to be working for me - it directs me to the Globe & Mail and I've tried searching the author name but no article comes up?! Thank you :)
