This is almost absolutely correct. Pity there isn't even a model to monetize the blog post, though. Monetization is a problem across the internet that seems to benefit the behemoths.
Perhaps we need a middle-ground between open source and proprietary? Open source often becomes a signal to find business partners with similar potential needs. Perhaps you could share source with only 'approved partners', so you can together make "some money" instead of ($0 xor $1billion)
- tomcam 8y agoThere are many ways one could monetize blog posts. It is not obvious to me that most blog posts are worth any money at all. Let’s take the best case scenario: How much are you willing to pay for the blogs that you read?
- buboard 8y ago$0.20 per article. That's $300 CPM
- tomcam 8y agoThat’s a fair number. I am ashamed to admit, however, that I suspect I would second-guess too many blog entries and decide it wasn’t worth the money. Weird. I am disappointed in myself. But I typically read at least dozens of blogs a day. It could really add up.
- buboard 8y agooops $200 cpm. Still, $1-2 per day is nothing to fret about for most ppl in the west
