I am a professional blogger. As a professional blogger I write for income. Each word I put out on the internet has the specific purpose of earning me revenue.

If you intend to write content for a content aggregator such as triond.com for example, its crucial that you learn to track trends on what is popular for the sites it publishes on. Come to terms with the fact that what you are doing is an exchange of your intellectual labour for a portion of ad revenue. You are writing for a living – be pragmatic and do what you must do. The whole point of writing blogs for income is about generating some passive income. If you were serious about earning big money, then you need to take bigger risk and put in more time, what we’re doing is earning some revenue for an hour or two of our time. Finally understand that what is good for the constellation of sites that content aggregators publish for would also be good for you too. And what is good for this sites is constant internet TRAFFIC.

Here’s an idea on blogging with the intent of capturing internet traffic:
Find and comment on information pertaining to the most popular searches in order to attain the most number of traffic. One simple way of doing this is to tap into the Google search ‘zeitgeist’. For example, the most popular searches for the week ending 31 July 2006 had been about:

1. reichen lehmkuhl
2. lance bass
3. mel gibson
4. harold reynolds
5. landis
6. michelle wie
7. jesse metcalfe
8. H5N1
9. scarlett johansson
10. . vanessa minnillo
11. . miami vice
12. . gong li
13. . brittany snow
14. . andrea yates
15. . daniel radcliffe

We won’t focus on the News Content that each search word would generate for now, or the spin we will be putting on the story; what we need to realise as professional content bloggers is that people are interested in other people. And that therefore, it is important for us to not neglect writing pop entertainment content. Blogging for income is about finding out what is sexy, cool and interesting – putting your own spin on things and then delivering it to the market. Knowing what the market wants, helps the delivery of the message and profitability of content writers.

Knowing the needs of specific markets and identifying the overlaps between countries such as the fact “World Cup” are prevalent in several top searches of the different countries Google tracks.
