WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: August 13, 2002 Blogging for Dollars: Giving Rise to the Professional Blogger -- "By paying great bloggers to produce Weblogs, we remove economic constraints and enable them to devote their energies full-time to producing compelling content and creating outstanding Weblogs." (Comments: I'll blog for dollars. Who wants to sponsor me? Who wants to hire me to blog as a professional. Hey, I'm serious if you are serious. Full. Time. Blog. Professional. Here's my suggested motto: 1% usability, 99% of the time.)

That's an interesting premise: there is economic value in hiring a full-time blogger. A good blog isn't just the links the blogger finds. It is the personal content the blogger adds to the mix. When you pay a blogger, you are paying for a personality. It's like a radio personality. If you have Rush Limbaugh under contract, you don't let him go because he can leave and do his thing with your competitor in a heart beat. That truth tends to shoot salaries to astronomical heights. We'd have blog bidding wars. Posted by: Jack on August 14, 2002 12:08 AM
In a time long ago, we used to call these people "writers" and "columnists". I guess they don't use those titles any more. Posted by: MadMan on August 14, 2002 06:13 AM
