Blogitive - Get Paid to Blog - Make Money Blogging

In light of the recent news regarding Blogitive removing some of the blogs hosts that are not Blogitive friendly I decided to write about some of the options available. First of all those of you who have blogs hosted on the “blacklist”, try not to panic.

You may not realize this but transferring your blog to your own host is actually better for you in the long run. Blogging has becoming a way for regular “Joes” to generate an income.

And yes, I couldn’t think of anything to write so I decided to write about it. (more…)

We all start blogging for different reasons. Some people blog as a sort of newsletter for their friends, creating a regularly updated mass email without all of those little arrow thingies on the left margin. Some do it because they picture themselves to be the next Kottke or Dooce or Gawker. Some blog because they want to be writers and blogging is the best way to get their writing out there to be read. Some people blog as a form of therapy. Some blog because they think it’s an easy way to get rich. Boy do those Bloggers have a surprise in store. (more…)

I received an email this morning from one of our bloggers, Deb, who asked a great question. “How do I switch from my hosted WordPress blog to my own domain name, without breaking the TOS for Blogitive?” I decided to make this a blog posting to help anyone else who may have this question.
