Blogger Helps People Make $

So, it seems that google has taken the advice I expounded for about.com:

I do think about.com has an excellent opportunity to do something big. Long ago, I applied to be an about guide for soccer and a few other topics. I was rejected. Now I blog. I get traffic. And if I advert-ed up my blog, I could probably make some money. What I don't have is the advantage of the about.com directory traffic that about bloggers/writers get. And unless I suddenly acquire a boatload of readers, there isn't any chance I'll be retiring or even living off of my weblog income. I think about.com could embrace people like me (not reject me) and the rest of the weblogging community and help us make some money/gain some notoriety, etc and make themselves some money and retain the crown of "publishing for and by the people.", albeit centralized.

Blogger has decided to remove the automatic google adsense ads and let bloggers participate in adsense and make money from the ads clicked on their blogger hosted blog. Here is the blogger announcement. (via Battelle)

This is the future. services that let people have their own identity online and let people have their own personally branded media outlet, which, if they are good at it, can earn them $, maybe even a living.
That is one purpose that drives our direction @ WhizSpark.
