No doubt, the writing style on Bloggrrl has changed a bit and the topics are no longer confined to writing just about “blogging for money”. It’s funny, but readership will go down if Bloggrrl has too many ads displaying and increase when ads are decreased.
In addition, the post on Gay Marriage summarily self-removed 162 readers in less than 14 hours. Whoa! I guess when you’re not writing about how to make money on blogging or, alienate your audience with statements such as “if you don’t like the blog entry, then move on” peeps will go away (and that’s fine by us). No doubt, 50% of our readers removed themselves and that may translate into 50% that don’t agree with gay marriage rights.
Pretty sad (in this day and age) when people are still a few decades behind the times.
There may be some who thought “how could the author of Bloggrrl take such a departure from her usual fare”. It was not the original creator of Bloggrrl who published that entry, it was posted at the direction of a new owner. Bloggrrl has been sold to a multi-media organization.
Future topics will range from the sublime to highly controversial. We have a staff of writers who contribute to national publications and as such, those editorial contributions will find their way into Bloggrrl’s personality.
While Bloggrrl’s goal was to inform on how to make money blogging (with mad tips and tricks) Bloggrrl (for all of its advice) was not monetized to its full potential.
In the end, Bloggrrl did finally pay off for its creator, as the owner of Bloggrrl sold her blog for an undisclosed sum. So, to say that Bloggrrl was not successful in “blogging for dollars” would not be correct, as the blog was sold at a premium.
Interestingly enough, if you have a blog and its has personality, traffic and a memorable domain name, it’s worth money. I think that’s all anyone needs to know on the topic of “Blogging for Dollars”. Large entities will come along and buy you out and take what you have created to the next level. Whether you’re seeking to “cash out” of a blog or simply get “Blog Burnout” your blog will always have value.
Update: Feedburner was not accurate. Will know true number on Weds.
