Outsourcing Your Blog To India?

By

rentablogger I had to pick myself up off the floor to be able to write this one. On occasions when I’ve been too busy to write, I’ve had to outsource content on some of my sites.

Here’s one option to find bloggers for your sites. My preference by far is to just ask around for bloggers, contact people I know, or post an ad over on Craigslist. But I guess this works, too.

Check out Rent A Blogger.

The Australian Blog Conference

By

Duncan Riley, the founding editor of The Blog Herald announces an Australian Blog Conference.

Des has the details. I was in on one of the emails prior to the announcement, looks like some great speakers lined up, free registration, and Queensland in March usually isn’t quite as hot as Queensland in February..but it will be warm :-) There’s also a call for sponsorship, if you’re interested Des has the details as well.

For once I wish I had enough notice to head down under. But this one coincides with some other stuff going on in March.
Maybe next time.

901am Staff Update

By

901am.com is growing. No not new staff. Just new folks reading us. Thanks for that. I just want to take some time to share a few cool projects that some of us are working on.

Socially Given is a community blog that donates all its profits to Charity. It’s headed up by our own Muhammad Saleem. I’ve also decided to donate a wee bit of time over their to that great cause.

Thord Hedengren is working hard on Blogger Talks. I really like the site. Thord is obviously a gifted interviewer. It will be great to kick off next year with some podcasts here at 901am. If I can talk him in to doing a few.

Chris Pearson, our secret editorial guru and associate in stealth publishing guru has been banging out SEO for Everybody. Check it out its a real winner of a series.

As for me. I’m just working on 901am and a new acquisition Work Boxers, a place for bloggers to learn how to monetize and flip your websites.
