Do bloggers make bank?

Jun 29, 2010 in Blogging to the Bank

I want to be a writer and was told that blogging was really where the money is. Advertisements are imbedded in the blog. How much money does this really make, is it a successful business?

Do I need to pay taxes?

Jun 26, 2010 in Blogging to the Bank

I’m a 16 year old student living in the United States. Over the past few months I have earned 0 by blogging online for a website owned by a Canadian. This money was paid to my PayPal account, and I recently transferred it into my Bank of America account. Do I need to pay taxes on this money? The money was paid to me by a Canadian via PayPal, so I’m kind of unsure.

Do you accept what I say?

Jun 20, 2010 in Blogging to the Bank

Do you accept these points
1. There are people on the web who fool others by telling them they can earn a lot of money by blogging. They sell ebooks on this topic only to grow their own bank accounts.
2. The Secret, The Law of Attraction is all bull crap
3.If one needs to earn a lot of money, he should work hard and also try different ways of doing it.
4.If you do not have a good idea for a website, you should start thinking of offline businesses

David Sifry – What is a blog? 2

Jun 18, 2010 in What is Blogging?

Dave Sifry, CEO of Technorati, the major search engine tracking blogs and the blogosphere at large, paints in this second video clip (first clip), his view of blogs in the emerging new media landscape. The clips was shot in Rome on February 2nd 2006. – “I definitely think that the format of blogging in terms of giving human beings an enormous voice is terribly important. But what I think is even more important here is to recognize that blogs are a symptom of what’s happening in our society. And it’s a symptom of the power the internet has been giving. As broadband and mobile has really enabled people to not only be consumers but producers of information and content. Blogging is just a symptom of what’s changing. So, what we really need to be looking at are not just blogs, but reviews, and you know, gee, ever wonder, like…job postings. Job postings are an obvious thing that people go and you put a job posting on your site, put your resume up on your blog. Well, what if there were some way for those two to meet each other? Reviews are huge. We are constantly talking about: Where did I go for dinner tonight? Was it good? Was it bad? Now I have a camera phone. I can take a picture of the dish! And so, yes this was wonderful, no this was terrible. I loved this movie, I hated this movie. I liked this book, I hated it. Then the ability to then use that information to allow people to create communities, or better, to allow the exposure of communities that already exist! And …

What does the France's reaction to jogging say about the traditions and culture of the French people?

Jun 17, 2010 in Blogging to the Bank

In France, Jogging Is a Running Joke
President’s Exercise Regime Has Critics in a Lather

By Joel Garreau
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, July 7, 2007; Page C01

The sight of the new French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, jogging — often wearing his favorite NYPD T-shirt — has fired up a tempest in a Reebok in France and Britain this summer. Sarkozy’s running is an un-French, right-wing conspiracy, suggests Paris’ left-wing newspaper Libération. In response, British commentators gleefully conclude: The French have lost their minds, again.

On the primary state television channel, France 2, Alain Finkielkraut, a leading French intellectual, recently demanded that Sarkozy give up his "undignified" exercise. Not only did he imply that exposing the boss’s naked knees is something that never would have occurred in the time of Mitterrand, much less Louis XIV, Finkielkraut claimed strolling is the proper activity of the thinking person, from Socrates to the poet Arthur Rimbaud.

"Western civilization, in its best sense, was born with the promenade," said Finkielkraut. "Walking is a sensitive, spiritual act. Jogging is management of the body. The jogger says I am in control. It has nothing to do with meditation."

Sarkozy has fueled a French suspicion that running is for self-centered individualists like Americans, reports Charles Bremner, Paris correspondent for the Times of London.

"Patrick Mignon, a sports sociologist, noted that French intellectuals had always held sport in contempt, while totalitarian regimes cultivated physical fitness," Bremner writes.

"Jogging is of course about performance and individualism, values that are traditionally ascribed to the right," Odile Baudrier, editor of V02 magazine, a sports publication, told Libération.

The British press is having a wonderful time with all this.

"The Sarkozy jog, say his critics, is a sad imitation of the habits of American presidents, and a capitulation to ‘le défi Américain’ (a phrase that was the title of a book published here as ‘The American Challenge’) as bad as the influx of Hollywood movies," writes Boris Johnson, a British member of Parliament and confirmed jogger, in the Telegraph.

"I am not deterred . . . by the accusation that jogging is right-wing," he says. "Of course it is right-wing, in the sense that the facts of life are generally right-wing. The very act of forcing yourself to go for a run, every morning, is a highly conservative business. There is the mental effort needed to overcome your laziness.

"Charles de Gaulle . . . moved with the stately undulation of a giraffe, and never broke into so much as a trot."

Jogging is not a new affectation for Sarkozy. When he was finance minister, visiting Washington for meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, he found it congenial to jog around the Mall, a French Embassy spokeswoman says. Former French ambassador to the United States (and recently named an adviser to Sarkozy) Jean-David Levitte does not indulge, however. Levitte "has a lot of things to do. He is on the run intellectually," she says.

Meanwhile, the readers of British press Web sites are piling on. "No decent conservative would dream of jogging. It’s a vulgar, untraditional form of self-advertisement that might frighten the horses. What’s wrong with croquet?" posted Ian Morrison on the Telegraph Web site. "Had it been a spot of extracurricular horizontal jogging instead, je pense que ze political classe wouldn’t have batted an eye," posted Nixon McVicar.

In the heyday of vaudeville, there was a routine that had one woman complaining about the food at a Catskills resort. "It’s terrible," she says. "Yes," agrees her friend, "and the portions are so small."

Just so, not only is Sarkozy’s running being criticized, so is his style.

Renaud Longuèvre, a noted coach, tells L’Equipe magazine that Sarkozy’s arms hang down, he bends too far forward, his stride is bad and his feet strike the ground incorrectly, Bremner reports. The coach advised the president to get his feet checked, strengthen his abdominal and posterior muscles and to "check your diet because it seems you are carrying a slight excess in weight."

Whoever said you had to be talented to make bank?

Jun 14, 2010 in Blogging to the Bank

Reading about Todd Goldman made me want to waste 5 points to complain and gather opinions on these two topics (Goldman, and art in general).

[Accusations of Plagiarism

In April 2007, Goldman was accused of plagiarism by web cartoonist Dave "Shmorky" Kelly, in a post on the Something Awful forums, saying that Goldman's piece "Dear God Make Everyone Die" was traced directly from a 2001 Purple Pussy comic by Kelly. Mike Tyndall maintains a page which summarizes the original Something Awful thread, at which dozens of images are compared, with the claim that Goldman plagiarized many artists.

In an interview with Sense magazine, Goldman said, "I guess what happened was this: I have a whole design team that works back in Florida creating t-shirts for me. And then I take some of these images and make paintings out of them. If we do 50 t-shirts a month we probably create over 300 images to narrow down to those 50. Listen, I couldn't paint in my lifetime the amount of stuff that we've done. I thought that image was created internally within 'David and Goliath'. I guess the original idea came from that Kelly guy which one of my artists had seen. We changed it to "Please God Make All my Friends Fat," because the Die wouldn't sell on t-shirts. But I thought it'd make a great painting. So I painted two images from it. 5 months later it was hanging in this gallery and someone saw it and started this whole Internet thing. When I found out it wasn't our image, I apologized to the guy and gave him the full proceeds for the sale of the paintings. They sold for ,000. So I didn't profit from him. There was no lawsuit from it. But then a whole can of worms opens up and suddenly I'm knocking off everyone apparently."

On May 3, 2007, Goldman's publicity agent announced that Goldman (who initially dismissed the controversy as "false accusations and blogging" in the contact with the media) and Kelly had reached a settlement: Goldman would pay Kelly the money he earned from the paintings and Kelly would drop the case. Goldman's art dealer said that several art galleries stopped showing Goldman's work and the wholesalers who buy Goldman's posters canceled their orders and asked for refunds for unsold stock. "I lost the three biggest poster distributors in America," his art dealer, Jack Solomon, said. Goldman later reported that the poster distributors came back.]

This guy probably makes loads of more money than the [alleged] original artists.

I’ve seen samples of this guy’s art. IGNORING the (highly) suspected plagiarism, he sucks, plain and simple.

I noticed a decline in the popularity of skilled art in the past few decades of cartoons on television. It’s stupid, honestly. Completely, absolutely, totally ridiculous.
