Not wanting to get bored if I make it to Bali next year, I’ve been thinking about setting up a blog when I’m living there. There are already countless blogs about Bali, often run by expats who are living there, so it’s far from a novel idea, so it should be a blog that brings something new, that tackles the subject in some other ways. I have some ideas on that.
I have a small technical edge because I’ve been a webdeveloper and designer (front end and back end) for quite some years now. I also know a thing or two about marketing a blog as I’ve been the webmaster of the corporate blog in my company for 2 years. Why not put these skills to use once I’m on Bali? It might actually get somewhere and help one or two people.
People will only read blogs if the articles present are either useful, helpful, problem solving, entertaining or interesting or a combination of those. I’m not particularly good at writing articles, that’s why I want to ask if somebody here on Bali would be interested in becoming a co-writer for that blog.
I will market the blog and will try to make it generate some income, but the main reason will be to pass time and to have something to do and to help others. The main motivation will not be to make money, because I know from experience that it is very hard to make a blog that generates (lots of) money. So if you want to write articles with the intention to make money, you’d better not do it because you might get disappointed.
Having said that, there are heaps of (and ever increasing) ways nowadays to make money with blogs, so if the articles are good, and an expanding reader base can be established it could bring in cash. I’m planning to share proceeds on a 50/50 basis with the guy who writes articles with me. I will take care of all the technical things and costs etc. So it will not cost you a penny.
If anyone is interested, just let me know then we can start some brainstorming.
