Another traditional media pens an article on a blogger who’s managed to turn their hobby into a business, this time New Zealand’s The Dominion Post profiles Richard McManus, publisher of Read Write Web.
I had no clue McManus has been doing this since 2003, but it shows, as one of the better blogs out there, RWW has carved a niche as what I’d describe as think-tank meets web guide for new and experienced web professionals and users. I think that many of the blogs out there are suffering from an identity crisis, but RWW is certainly one of the ones that actually offers something of value to readers.
Anyway, I’ve been blogging pretty regularly for 18 months now, and believe you me, the potential is there, but don’t kid yourself, it takes a full time, maniacal commitment to make it succeed because writing about the industry and pontifcating on such matters is everyone’s dream… so there are no shortage of pontificators. To be successful though, it takes more than simply writing, you have to find your own niche, and that’s something McManus has done admirably well.
