How to Make Money Blogging
Now, something completely off-topic but trust me, it’s to your benefit.
As many of you know, I work in law enforcement — a midnight shift at that. I work on my business during the day till about 3 pm — and then off to bed to repeat the cycle.
Coming home from work and then trying to jump straight into creativity can be almost impossible. I have had to find a way to unwind. I have recently found a way that works for me.

Henry Copeland of Blogads has noted that Drudge has been getting his breaking news from Google — just like the rest of us.
Does that mean that Drudge’s days are numbered, as the godfather of bloggers?
At one time Drudge was known for having the scoop. He started out in the 90′s providing a service for politicians, journalists and media types. Every morning his employees fed his daily list of stories into a bank of auto-dialing fax modems. He became a clearance house for what was hot.

Al Jazeera is now offering email news alert to subscribers for $5.99/month.
Hmmm… Seems like they missed the boat on this one too. They should have had this and their English language website up, prior to the outbreak of war.
Their English website is still down. Although there is probably an excellent reason why the website is still flat on its back, I have wet dreams that some foxy, female hacker sporting a US Army MOS (military occupational specialty) is holed up in her barracks conducting some sort of high-tech war with the rag heads.

Traditional newspapers are paying close attention to what a Topeka, Kansas newspaper is doing. It is hotter than a firecracker and boasting a huge 46% profit margin.
How are they doing it? With webshells. In fact Jeff Jarvis is using much the same thing for his company’s blogs.
The New York Times has been using shells for its business section, and has even predicted its own disappeance from newsprint. They will survive however becuase of their reporters and content. That is their leverage.

“The Christian Science Monitor has sent an online journalist to the Middle East as its ‘embedded’ war correspondent. Poynter’s Steve Outing spoke with CSMonitor.com producer-turned-war correspondent Ben Arnoldy about the experience and what he’ll be doing for the news site. From his position alongside U.S. troops stationed in Kuwait, he writes daily journals and interviews soldiers to report the personal side of the conflict.”
Are you gearing up for war? Are you even going to cover it?

Defense Tech is a themed blog, which will gain in popularity and has definite income potential. As this war in Iraq heats up, blogger Noah Shachtman will have to be putting in long hours to keep his blog up to date. This war will be moving so fast…
Of course there isn’t a need to report on everything. Sometimes it is better to pick just one story each day and burrow into it, picking the tidbits of information that other writers and reporters missed. Let the lions feed, and then swoop in like the vultures that we are…

It appears that a company called Acacia Media Technologies may own the patents on streaming media and that puts Microsoft, AOL and even “pay-per-view” TV in its crosshairs.
Is their case solid?

I received some spam today, so I wrote to the person who sent it. Well, the company they work for anyway. And this is what I said:
Dear Julie Scott,
I am a business owner. I have a small marketing and publishing company with three websites.

I just found out about this a few seconds ago from an RSS feed. Of course any words are inadequate.
I am through blogging for today.
God Bless
