Topics for Focus Blogs

Had a chat with Manolo this afternoon about launching several focus blogs. This could be the start in our journey to become ProBloggers in the near future. :D

The main consideration we had was about “blog topics”. We had a couple of topics in mind but we need to consider some factors as well such as its viability, availability of resources, our grasp of the topic to blog, and target audience. I think we’re on the right track here and we hope to get it kicking within the month.

Later in the afternoon, I checked some RSS feeds and found out Darren posted about Principles of Choosing a Profitable Blog Topic. And since our target revenue stream would still primarily be AdSense (and maybe YPN later), the entry becomes a timely and relevant read.

I’m also contemplating on a group blog actually but that requires long term commitment from co-bloggers. Maybe I could ask around if someone’s interested.

I have also noticed that in the recent months, mainstream media have been vigorously referencing and featuring bloggers and the local “blogging phenomenon”. Is this a sign of a formal acceptance of the general public for blogs as an alternative source of news and information? If you read from new reports, some journalist would merely quote from blogs left and right since it’s much easier than actually interviewing resource people.
