A Growing Field
May 10th 2007 09:53
Every time I turn around there’s another site on the Web offering bloggers the chance to do paid posts for them. The latest one to arrive (as far as I know) is Bloggerwave, a site one of my fellow bloggers alerted me to the other day.
Its site looks good but isn’t (for me) the easiest to find your way around in – as yet. No doubt like some of the other paid post sites, it will improve with time – and with more advertisers. (These are also a bit thin on the ground so far, but that’s never stopped Bloggers like me getting up and running in the past! I’m certainly not the first to get going on Bloggerwave)
On my other blog I enjoy the challenge of writing a post that has to include a specific link. Sometimes it isn’t easy to weave the advertising into your own normal writing style, and the effect is a bit clunky. But in general when faced with the fact of ‘having’ to write something about a particular topic, even something I’m not au fait with, I get on with it, maybe do a bit of research (which can be interesting in itself) and the result is usually pretty reasonable. It’s surprising what things out of your own past suddenly come to mind when you’re writing to order. It used to be the same when I wrote a weekly column for a local newspaper. Deadlines have a marvellous habit of forcing your imagination to work harder!
