Another article on how to make a poop-load of money by blogging

The digital pioneer, as he is often called, Clement Mok had it downright right when he said “Five years ago, we though of the Web as a new medium, not a new economy” (of course he didn’t say this very recently).

But ain’t that a ring of truth? Who’d a thunk that the Internet would be a great way that a slacker could sit home, play global games, write a self-important blog about their miniscule life, try to sound witty and to boot, make a few bucks?

But alas, this is the case. We live in a world where blogging makes you seem social and communicative when the reality is that you probably spend more time in isolation than your non-blogging counterparts.

Yes, the buzzword today ladies and gents, is “Blog”. We’ve all heard it and some of us are very familiar with it; even having one or two of our own. If we are really sociopaths and pathetic, we have more. If you haven’t really heard of it, right now you are thinking, “What the hell is she talking about?” (yet, you are still reading because the “poop-load of money” caught ya) … and to add salt to the wounds, I’m writing blog-style. It’s a new, trendy, sarcastic, self-ego stroking way to write. This alone is another reason to blog; it feels good and, I guesstimate that blogging will soon negate the need for therapy.

Are we really isolated, ego-freaks of society if we blog? Or perhaps, we are actually the movers and shakers of the virtual future….hmmm.

But I digress. Let me first; quickly yarn the story of the history of blogging. So sit back, get some popcorn, and enjoy the ride.

Once upon a time, in a far distant land called Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, a young prince-like man by the name of Justin Hall became one of the pioneers of what is now known as blogging. He began an Internet journal and made public his ditties…and all the villagers and townspeople in all the world of Internet enjoyed his web-based journal, and so blogging was born.

The technical, not cool, nor hip actual description of blogging is “Weblog” according to most dictionaries and anal people. Usually the blog (I am hip, so I’ll use “Blog”), can be anything from commentaries to diaries, and can contain links, photos and more. But you and I both know why you are reading this article. You don’t give a rat’s arse about opinions; you want to know how to make a poop-load of money from blogging. Now that the wee history lesson and such is out of the way, we can delve into the goal of making six figures, or well, at least a few dollars while having fun, impressing your friends and wowing the masses with your witty, entertaining blog.
