Face it, we’ve all come under the cosh in the blogosphere at some time or other. It’s a bit tedious, isn’t it? DoshBlogging is a much better option — and it pays better too.

The Times (London) has a cluster of pieces today under the heading, Blogging for Dosh – the print version is much more comprehensive, so buy a copy if you can.

Apart from the now-mandatory two or three paragraphs on Darren Rowse, Mr Problogger, it looks at other moneymaking phenomena online, such as Perez Hilton, Julie Powell and Clotilde Dusoulier.

Tom Whitwell, whose blog, musicthing.co.uk, makes a bob or two, gives us “Ten ways to get rich blogging”. The best one for me is, “Keep your costs down”. He cites Perez Hilton, whose office is a coffee shop he inhabits all day for the price of a few lattes. Now that’s smart.

But read it yourself.
