More and more people start using blogging to communicate about their interests. Whether it is the fashion industry or on topics they would like to write about. In Norway there are 350,000 bloggers. More and more people see the chance to cash in on their blog. Especially young people seem to let themselves be tempted by this opportunity. Although not all bloggers can be "top bloggers", there are some who earn some money at blogging. A "top blogs" can make millions in business.
Isabella Löwengrip (17) should, according to Swedish media, earn five million dollars on advertising revenue in the year. Although most do not earn such amounts that income may be from a few hundred dollars a month to up to 100 000 per month. It makes it attractive for many to explore this possibility.
For the most part, these money came from various advertisers. You can blog about a website, a product or service. Simple huh?
In principle, this seems like easy money, and thus many are tempted by this. Even children as young as 12 years of age and perhaps even lower, are tempted by the opportunity for what they believe is easily earned money. Advertisers have found a new way of hitting the target even better than ads in magazines and newspapers. One of the primary and most fundamental goals of a blog is not to monetize the blog, but the freedom to express what one thinks without limitations. The blog is about to become something else? Can capitalism be a threat and an obstacle to freedom of emergency in the future? Will we be more interested in writing about topics that makes us earn money, rather than what occupying us? Is there a limit to this and if so where does it go? Do we want such a development?
