I’m very interested to blog for money if the topics interest me enough. I’m already a blogger and an aspiring writer. Darren, please email me. Thanks.

thanks Ron and thanks for those who are emailing their proposals. We’ve had a diverse group of suggestions for new blogs already but are open to more.

Ron – to be honest your question is one we’re still discussing.

I think we’re leaning in the direction of retaining copyright ourselves but the jury is still out. There are issues with taking a stance in either direction on it. Most (all as far as I know) blog networks retain copyright. Instead of editors owning the blog or the content the network sees them as editors and themselves as publishers. Editors income is seen as payment for their work rather than an income from their own business. So what we’re looking at at this point is that we would retain any rights to content written but that a substantial part of the income generated from it would be going to the editor/author of it on an ongoing basis.

As I say we’re still talking this one through and are open to suggestions. Our hope is that we develop a system that is mutually beneficial to both us as publisher and those that write for us as editors.

Interested in people’s thoughts on this – as I say we’re a work in progress.

I would send an e-mail, but my question may be of interest to your readers. Who owns the content if/when the partnership is ended. Will the blogger have the option to import his/her posts to his/her own site? Will a buy out arrangement be made based on the value of the archives?
