Do you know it is possible to build a lucrative career through blogging ? People have been writing blog posts for years, many of those blogs were mainly structured like online journals and diaries and people will mainly stumble upon them by accident or when they want someone personal view on a particular topic. Those posts were placed not in the aim of getting a profit but for mainly sharing information or letting the world know what their opinion was.The last few years something phenomenal has happened and that is the birth of the "celebrity blogger" and the "professional blogger". People who have risen to fame and wealth because they chose to sit by their laptops and let the world know what was on their mind. The two most prominent being Necole Bitchie and Perez Hilton.
Necole Bitchie who got thrown out of her aunties house because she always "sat by laptop everyday".With only $500 to her name, the enterprising go-getter made the move to Atlanta to network and wound up becoming the face and voice of NecoleBitchie.com, a popular gossip/entertainment blog that rivals many mainstream brands in terms of influence in the online space. Since launching in 2007, the site now draws upwards of 1.2 million unique visitors per month (1). Wit that many visitors it easy to attract advertisers which in turn brings in an income. Prime example is Perez hilton who charged $10,000 per week for adverts on his page. Perez Hilton built a blogging empire by posting about things that were controversial and that would constantly keep viewers entertained.known for posts covering gossip items about celebrities. He is also known for posting tabloid photographs over which he has added his own captions. Now with this knowledge of those success stories is it fair to say a career as a professional blogger can be attained ? I will leave that to you to decide.
