Do you Understand that Blogging is one kind of Self Publishing

If you look at the kind of advertisements that some publishing houses are trying to attract wanna be writers for self publishing. Well, it is like Publishing on demand. You give them money and they publish on behalf of you. I like to call it as self publishing because in the end the entire investment and risk is with you. The same way, in blogging, you are on your own unless you work for a network or a company.

You have to manage everything and produce content and then hope to find a way to earn money. Internet is the place where people find content at free of charge. So, you have to attract visitors and earn by advertising. There is no gimmick here or there is no hide and seek. Everything is crystal clear. You have to write. You have to find visitors and in return you will get some money by displaying advertisements in a part of your blog or website.
