When I started this blog I told myself in advance that I wasn’t going to have a casual approach. In fact, I set an initial goal of 30 blogs in 30 days. It seems like one blog a day wouldn’t be that hard, and really it wasn’t, but, I have to say there were a few days that I almost forgot or just couldn’t think of anything. I figure the more content I have here the more interesting the blog will be for readers on a daily basis. After all, who wants to re-read old posts?

So my theory is that one interesting blog post a day is all it takes to keep things fresh and active. As of today this blog has been live for 30 days and I haven’t missed a single day of blogging. I never really saw myself as the “blogger” type, but I have to say I’m really getting into it. It’s funny because this blog is getting nice traffic but not a lot of comments yet on each blog post. I guess it takes longer to get the dedicated readers and commentators than it does to get the casual readers. Anyway, I hope my blogs have been interesting enough so far and ideally they will become even more interesting as I continue this blog.

You’ve probably heard that content is king? Well that’s 100% correct, but, there is one catch. Somebody needs to write the content. If you are looking to hire some writers and get some quick content, you shouldn’t have any problem finding quality writers for dirt cheap. However, if you are a writer and want to earn some extra cash on the side don’t expect to make your part time fortune writing articles for somebody else.

From what I’ve seen on several popular webmaster and business forums across the net the going rate for a 300-500 word article is about $5. Ladies and Gentlemen, that’s roughly $5 an hour. People who need quick content are almost never looking for quality content. They are willing to settle for cheap yet decent content because the truth is they don’t really care about the content. They simply want relevant high paying Google or Yahoo ads to be generated and displayed to their visitors and readers. So their article is junk? No problem, luckily Google found several related websites that will catch the interest of their viewers, at several dollars a click.
