Enough talk. I want to see the ball rolling. Then we can decide if the idea is bad or good.

The concept is quite interesting.. But implementation is what requires for it to be a success.. A good collaboration is what is required.. probably an affiliation with a blogger comunity..
There’s new site (I think it started in Aug/Seo) – http://www.blogertize.in which seems to be doing well. You could collaborate with these guys.. or a blogger community like vblogcatalog could also be of some help

Part of the problem is that today blogs and podcasts are predominantly consumed by early adopters. As an industry we haven’t reached the exponentially larger mainstream audience (which will make earning a significant income feasible for more than just a few “A” listers). The reasons for this are primarily because the technology (RSS, XML, blog readers, podcatchers, syncing etc.) is too daunting for the average person and they mainstream doesn’t know how to easily and quickly find quality blogs/podcasts on the topics they’re interested in (they do a google search…get a million results…and finding blogs/podcasts in there is like a “needle in a haystack”.) The Blogger & Podcaster Media Network and our mainstream media partners will be working hard to change this. You can read the details of our plan at: http://www.blog...PMN_Article.htm

The key to making any income with your new media project is to experiment and try different approaches to see what works and what doesn’t. I don’t ever just dismiss something out of hand. If it works then we all benefit and if it doesn’t well it’s time to move on.

And always remember, profits follow passion.

Thanks for the support Peter….and Steve, you’re not completely off base. While we await funding Blogger & Podcaster Magazine has gone to a bi-monthly publishing schedule to conserve cash. Our next issue, that details the launch of The B&P Media Network, will be out in the next day or two. That should not detract from what the four companies coming together to create the network are trying to do for the small/medium size blogger.

BTW: I have also used Exitmerical’s to prototype a new way to publish eBooks online. By using an option you can have Exitmericals on each chapter links.

Readers get to read your book for free and you get paid for delivering a full page ad for each chapter they read.

Here is a link to one of my prototype books: http://knotsspl...1.blogspot.com/

I have been Beta testing the Exitmercial.com full page ads on my blog.
Currently it is working very well on my site.

You don’t have to replace your existing adsense or other ad services to use Exitmericals. It is an additional way to earn revenue.

Exitmerical’s only display a targeted full page ad when the reader selects an external link on your blog.

You (the source) get credit for displaying the ad not the destination.

You can see how it works by visiting my blog myasp101.blogspot.com

A friend of mine is a blogger.
He is doing that for living and earn enough.

He is getting paid for writing articles in his blogs about companies and products. He is caring the blogs of a few companies as well.

SO I think that making money from google ads is not the idea of making money by blogging.

I hope this network will unite the bloggers and will give them a chance to exchange information.

Let me start off by saying that if this works, it’ll be the greatest thing ever created for the longtail of content producers who need that ad revenue but do not have the resources or skills to go out and get it. That being said, it really does sound too good to be true.

I can see a business like this having legs, but they seem to be mismanaging their money right from the start. A Federated Media type service for the longtail is something that market needs. Adsense just cannot deliver that great of CPMs now for the smaller content producer. Even

Of course I’m signing up because this is a great opportunity for a website like mine, but I just hope they can deliver on their promises.

The problem is correct. As Mark and millions of bloggers have learned, $100 per year has been their advertising earnings.

However, Amway + Snap-clone + OpenX + a few sales reps does not create a strategy. The advertising economics has not changed.

At Exitmercial.com, we change the economics of advertising. We’ll working with print publishers to activate their sales force – hundreds of reps. Rather than $1 minus eCPM, we share $100 plus eCPM with bloggers.

You can sign up at http://exitmercial.com/. Publishers will qualify and approve each applicant.

It’s crazy that a magazine about Blogging and Podcasting wouldn’t be successful. Seriously, maybe they should have gone with a daily paper about blogging and Podcasting.

I`ve been working in the publishing business since `94.
I can assure you that producing a magazine is not an easy job, Steve.

I think that L. Genkin has a great idea creating this network.

The small blogger and podcaster NEEDS this kind of community!

Don`t expect 1 000 000 to your bank account just like that!
If you are good writer and blogger, you will be noticed.

Forget about promotions, forget about money! Think about it.

Think about all those small bloggers who want to get some tips and meet others like then. This is a great chance to share your ideas and stuff.

B&P Media Network is a great chance for us, the small blogger, to get together and grow like a community.

Jim, when did you hear about facebook? Have you ever believed that face book will become that big, because I haven`t but how about now?

This is the same.

Great idea Genkins, thank you!

In theory, this sounds great.

But then I checked out the Blogger and Podcaster magazine website. It has not published a new issue in months. Does it even go out as a print magazine anymore? And the editor’s “blog” has only had three entries TOTAL since March of 2008.

Their magazine does not seem successful and if they can’t make the magazine work, why are we supposed to believe that this bigger, grander scheme for bloggers to make money will work?

This sounds like a last-ditch effort by a failed magazine and a few companies that are struggling to make money, or maybe just don’t know any better.

The question is why did you hook up with Podcast Pickle, that makes no sense at all considering there are companies out there that already have podcast advertising networks in place. Podcast Pickle is just a second rate podcast directory.

This is dead pool before it even starts. You have not been very successful in any other scheme before. Your USA Today racket for podcasters is just milking them for money. This sounds like a Pyramid business with the likings of Amway

Jimilee, podcasters are an integral part of the plan. For example when we sell advertising packages to marketers we will give them the opportunity in reaching their target demographic through both blogs and podcasts by creating what we’re calling an “unwired network” that will allow them to hone in specifically who they are trying to reach. By aggregating together blogs and podcasts we give marketers the ability to have both targeting and critical mass, both key components of securing large advertisers. Additionally, all the benefits, such as promotion through mainstream media, will be for both bloggers and podcasters.
