January 28, 2010

NOTE: WordPress is right for you, only if you want to actually launch your membership site some day, make money from your site, and do not wish to spend an insane amount of time creating and maintaining it, and only if you do not wish to spend hundreds (or thousands) of dollars outsourcing the creation [...]

February 22, 2009

Excellent interview by Charlie Rose. And the discussion about monetizing FaceBook is very interesting. And a cool thing about Google Video (not to be confused with YouTube) is that you get a link right on the page, to download the video (iPod/iPhone friendly). So load up for offline viewing at the gym or on the [...]

My Date With Seth Godin

October 7, 2008

Ok, I was being dramatic. Plus I’m straight (and I think Seth is too). Last evening, I was fortunate to be a part of a private group that participated in Seth presentation for his new book, “Tribes” . The presentation was “remarkable!”, as Seth would’ve said himself. Filled with extraordinary images, and almost no text, [...]

Membership Sites: Not Easy To Monetize. Proof? NY Times

How Much Money Can You Make From Your Blog?

August 6, 2007

Maybe quite a lot, and mostly not a lot. “Huh?”, you say? If you look at this “top bloggers” list, you may end up buying into the fantasy that blogging will make you big bucks. Not every blog will make that kind of money. Actually, it would even be fair say, that less than a [...]

Their huge dependence on their “advertising” model is both exciting and scary at the same time.
