Online Coaching Session Later: Income from Political Blogs #onlinepolitics
In the early days of this blog one of my specialisms was in trying to help show people without an IT/Internet background how to use blogs more effectively for politics – for example my old weekly column called Blog Platform, or this post about 21 Steps for Starting a Successful Blog.
I’ve done less of that in the last couple of years as the focus has been on covering civil liberties, among other subjects. Now British politics may be having a bit of a new start, and the online landscape political has changed.
Today I want to try a new idea to encourage effective use of blogs in politics.
I’m publishing an article at 4pm about advertising on political blogs and income generation, including the income from the Wardman Wire (not a lot, but it covers out of pocket costs for this and other sites comfortably), and how advertising and other forms of income generation can work on a political blog.
There’ll be a chat session at 9pm on Twitter, captured on the blog via CoveritLive.
I have a few years’ experience to share, but I hope that others will drop by to add to the conversation.
If the format works, we can try other topics in the future.
How to be a Blogger, the Lib Dem way
Mark Pack has published a booklet based on a series of posts from before Christmas over at Lib Dem Voice, explaining the what, how, and why of blogging.
It is worth a read for people who are not Lib-Dems, perhaps especially for those opposing Lib-Dems.

Britblog Roundup #131

Here we go with this week’s Britblog Review. It is number 131. This week the roundup is quite tall.
This week the Britblog team may be retiring. Our email account received information that we have won an Islamic Lottery. We have won $500,000 in cash, but we are advised to keep quiet about it – I wonder why.
