To Monetise Or Not - That Is My Question
http://onblogging.com.au/2008/01/12/to-monetise-or-not-that-...
This is a guest post from Lightening of Lightening Online on the tricky subject of making money online from blogging. She asks a lot of questions to help her make the decision on how best to monetise her blog. Because she (like I) is Australian, she uses the locally preferred spelling “monetisation” rather than the US “monetization”.

I know I’ve paraphrased this dozens of times, but here it is written out semi-formally - Boyd’s Law of Blog Link Acceptability: Any link is acceptable to the reader provided it is relevant in context and adds clear value.

Intrapreneuring: A Process
http://intrapreneurblog.com/2007/12/26/intrapreneuring-a-pro...
I use the following example process in my Intrapreneuring 101 presentation:
1. Seek out the pain,
2. Look at things with an open mind (reframe, edgecraft, brainstorm),
3. Seek corporate champions, supporters, and a team,
4. Run the intrapreneuring project as a project,
5. Manage the critics, and
6. Deliver something useful.
7. Then… Wash, rinse, repeat.

DevChix writer Gloria has raised some interesting points in Let’s All Evolve Past This: The Barriers Women Face in Tech Communities. As a man who works with women in IT, I’d like to address two of her points: confrontation and flirtation.

The power of leverage: How do we get to kill the blog monster?

Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public.
A blog is a book without end - it is a toy and an amusement for a while, then there is some pleasure as small successes add up. It can become a monster.

Autoblogging via RSS with WP-o-Matic
http://facibus.com/onblogging/2007/06/15/autoblogging-via-rs...
I’ve previously discussed my experiences and experiments with autoblogging (autopopulation of blogs via an RSS feed). While I am not convinced that any blog so produced will be of any use, the concept of “content for nothing” fascinates me so I play with it every now and then.
Today I am playing with the WP-o-Matic plugin for WordPress.

Blogging eBook comparison: Yaro Starak vs John Chow
http://facibus.com/onblogging/2007/06/12/blogging-ebook-comp...
Two blogging eBooks have appeared over the last week and a half: Yaro Starak’s Blog Profits Blueprint and John Chow’s Make Money Online with John Chow dot Com.
I prefer Yaro’s book for two reasons: (1) It converted neatly to MobiPocket - I read ebooks on my Nokia e61 smartphone, and Blog Profits Blueprint was easily readable in the portable MobiPocket format - Yaro liked the MobiPocket version and he is now distributing it. (2) It made me think about my own goals and getting my act togethe

Blogger's Block: Sources for material
http://facibus.com/onblogging/2007/06/12/bloggers-block-sour...
It is inevitable that every blog about blogging has to have a post on blogger’s block - the inability to find new things to write about and to actually write about them. Darren Rowse wrote a wonderful post on battling blogger’s block that is full of ideas.
I would add the following: keep your ideas journal close to hand: I use a Nokia e61 mobile phone as both ebook reader and ideas log. It is fairly complicated - when I think of something, I email it to my gmail account, using a keyword in .

Find your logical blog niche - logically
http://facibus.com/onblogging/2007/06/10/find-your-logical-b...
Wendy Piersall has a list of questions that are very helpful in finding your blog niche. This is very sound advice - a big mistake that I’ve made in the past was to go with my gut instinct, and answer question 5 alone without considering the bigger picture. I’d like to take you through a couple of ways that you can use Wendy’s list to find your blog niche. I’ve done it both ways, and found both useful to form an opinion of what I can sustain in the way of blogging.
