Creating a blog network
December 28, 2006
I have been toying with the idea of some how putting together a blog network, not unlike b5media.com or 9rules.com. I have a whole bunch of different blogs and ideas for a few new ones. The obvious step would be to some how put them all under a single umbrella to try and create some order with them.
I don’t want to employ bloggers like what b5 do, but create a group of blogs around different themes. If no-one joins, I don’t really mind as I see it a way to try and organize my own blogs and try to keep them all updated regularly. At best larger advertising contracts could be negotiated and revenue split, at worst it could be a way to try and drive traffic to each other’s sites.
The main themes I am interested in are making money online, finance, property, sporting events, city/country guides, health and travel. However, I would consider any blog as long it is not totally brand new, is hosted on its own domain and is updated fairly regularly. If anyone has an idea for a blog, I would be happy to set it up for you, provide the hosting and the domain for a share in the revenue. I can also help you to transfer your site from a free blogging site, like blogger to your own domain.
I just registered “fusionpress.com” which to me sounds like pretty cool name. If anyone would like to join or create a logo for the site, please drop me an email.

Got something to say?
This is really a tough one. I think you really need a fairly popular blog to pull something like this off. Unless you do, there is not enough traffic generated to the partner blogs to make it worth them splitting revenue with you than going at it on their own (at least this is what I have found in trying a similar thing) - plus the fact that bloggers that are decent and willing to put in the work needed are usually not willing to leave their own blog unless they know they will get a significant increase over what they are currently earning.
What I’ve been thinking is getting together a group of about 4 quality bloggers to join as a team on a blog with possibly a 2 post a day minimum - would be rough for all involved for the first 6 months to a year, but there is no way that any other blog currently out there would be able to keep up and I believe it would soon become the defacto leader in the entrepreneur / personal finance / money blog arena
Just some random thoughts running through my head with the new year…
I would like to know more.I hope you see this comment, and drop me an email.
Have a great day.
I have toyed with this idea as well. My problem was finding people who would want to blog and share the revenue. Of course you might not have that problem. I think a blog network would be a pretty successful way for you to launch new sites and products beyond blogs off of.
Thanks for the emails and interest in this. This won’t be revenue share unless I am hosting the blog. Everyone can keep the money they make. I think the benefit is by bringing together a bunch of like minded people and hopefully to be able to leverage each other’s traffic and ideas.
Sounds very interested, drop me an email, I’d like to know more about this

How’s this coming along? I may be interested.
I am in the process of upgrading some of my older blogs and moving them all to the same host. It is taking a little bit of time. I have someone who is going to take over one of them, so it is currently my priority.
Steve, I enjoy your blog very much and it would be great if you would consider joining.
