There is a very interesting post on Shoemoney about 1938media who are going to start a subscription service. He accepts thatt 99 percent of his visitors will not pay for the content. I think he is on to something. At least 75 percent of my reading material comes from blogs on the Internet. I do not buy a newspaper because I find bloggers more interesting and better content. I would be interested in paying a dollar per a day to read my favourite bloggers.

Why I did the 360 and Monetised My Site
I am going to stick my hand in the fire and say that advertisements in blogging can offer a lot of benefits to the reader. Traditionally I came from background that has never really been effected by advertising. Is that really possible in this day and age? Well sort of, Most of my small or large purchasers are brought based on my own criteria. Now, one can argue that there is marketing and I am being indirectly marketed too but that is a conversation for another blog. Why do I think advertising adds to blogs. Well if you are writing about ideas and concepts in your blogs than there are a lot of products that can appear in blog offering their services that would bolt on nicely to the content.
For example if I write a blog about content then advertisement will appear with services for content. So the reader than gets double choice. Monetising my blog was a bit of 360 for me. My profile on the work connexions site was w3c compliant very readable but possible a bit boring. We hope with the new site to have remedied that and that business development will be enjoyable or whatever it is that you do. What are your thoughts? to advertising on your blog.
Of course if you want to skip the advertisements just RSS there is no advertisements in the feed…
