Wired News reads Ms. Kitka’s Red Chronicle…

It’s almost as if Wired News was reading my article yesterday and decided they should comment on payed blogging. The article is very informative, I’m glad to see that if I did get an offer to do this for a company… I could probably get paid enough to quit my day job (thank Zod!). I just hope that someone would have faith in my writing and marketability to hire me for their site. Here is what Wired says are the requirements to hire a paid blogger:
You need a talented writer entertaining enough to hold an audience, a consistent publishing schedule, content worth linking to by other bloggers and worthy of press coverage, marketing savvy to sell advertising or enlist third-party networks and, as a culmination of all of this, plenty of traffic.
Says Hauslaib: “If a blog debuted with virtually zero startup costs, then it takes little to earn a profit. One ad will do it. But at the bare minimum, a lone blogger will likely need to attract high four- to five-figure daily visitor figures to even attempt a blog-based livable wage.”
Great… so now I have a goal. Perhaps I’ll get there at some point in the not so distant future… So far, since September 6th, I have gone from zero to over 500 unique visits per day. True, much of that traffic has probably come from my MSN Spaces blog, but thanks to SugarBank and registering with a few adult blog directories I have also been able to increase traffic to my site. Hopefully, however, once my new video-podcast takes off in a few weeks I will be able to generate a significantly larger number of traffic. Only time will tell.
For now, I shall continue working to bring you the finest sex news commentaries I possibly can… and then perhaps I’ll take LEB’s advice and make a few proposals…
