According to an article in The Walls Street Journal, more and more Americans make a living out of blogging.
The numbers on your right,as provided by America’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, are quite staggering to say the least, as you can see here. However, there are something which requires further clarification.
Are these people making a living out of blogging full time? Or are they just making up the numbers who are just making few bucks through blogging?
As for me, no I don’t make a full time living out of blogging but yes… I do earn some money from blogging. What about you?

If making USD1 a day is not appealing then Today.com is not for you. But if you don’t mind earning USD30 per month by making a post a day on any topic that interest you, go and check it out.
Today.com is both a blog network and blog directory of user generated contents. You sign up with them and created a blog where your blog will be created under a subdomain of Today.com. Yes… you will own the (sub)domain name and you can write about anything.
Once you setup the blog, you will earn USD1 per day for posting relevant articles in your blog. USD1 perday is guaranteed for one posting a day but if you blog more in a day, you will only be paid USD1. So your maximum earning is capped at USD30 per month. So you wont get rich blogging for Today.com but if you setup two blogs of different topics, you could make USD60 per month… but that will also not make you rich.
But having somewhere to start earning online is a great idea and Today.com maybe just the platform you would want to start off to test your writing skill and get paid for it. It will also be the platform where you could start ’selling’ your writing credential. Who knows this could be a good start for you and open up more online opportunity for you in the future.
If you are not into blogging for money, Today.com is still good place to read on many different topics created by their bloggers.
Good luck.

This cool looking personal wind tunnel could well be the gadget every household would have in the future. The wind tunnel is the work of a well known designer Philippe Starck, who had come out of retirement just to design this potentially cost saving device for all human kinds.
The designer claimed this simple-looking UDSD $633 gadget is able to crank out 20-60% of the power needed in a house… now go figure out which appliances in your house that can be powered by this small turbine.
Available in either stainless steel, signal orange or crazy transparent style, the new electricity generators will be shipping to everyone in September. I hope it wont take long for the energy generator to arrive in Malaysia.

Thanks to Freeware PDF Unlocker, you can now unlock that protected PDF file you received from your friends or colleagues, and its free of charge. How’s that?
Once the utility is installed, all you have to do is to drag the protected PDF file onto the PDF Unlocker icon and a new un-protected PDF file will be created… it surely can’t be easier than that… can it?

There is a new service for bloggers to make money online. BlogRolled is very much similar to Text Link Ads (TLA). Bloggers join as publishers and website owners join as advertisers. Advertisers login into their accounts and search for relevant blogs to purchase text links on the blogs. Each blog owned by publishers is allowed to have a maximum of 10 text links on the blog. Once the advertisers purchase the text links on a blog, the owner of the blog will be notified and he/she has to place the text link advertisement in his/her blogroll.
The whole idea is to provide quality backlinks to the advertisers websites from the publishers blogs. The blog owners will be paid monthly via PayPal. It doesn’t say (at least I can’t find it) though how much is the split between the publishers and BlogRolled.
It is so simple to join so go check it out and perhaps give it a try… who knows this might add few dollars to your PayPal account.
