I’ve been looking to expand my little empire and I’ve got some older sites that are still clunking along and it’s all good - and I’m looking at trying to expand my little empire by doing some side projects away from the everyday - offline and on. Just to keep my sanity and the momentum going with what I’d love to do.
I applied for a job over at Pro Blogger on the job boards for B5 Media… well, why not - they’re looking at getting into fansites too. Hmmm… go figure. Is that where the money is? LOL.
So I thought I could definitely learn from taking a job like that with them. But today I got my rejection letter. In a way I was slightly relieved, because to be quite honest you’d need to dedicate a ton of time to them. I have no idea what the pay would be like - is it a cut from the advertising? Were they looking for pre-established *insert site here* so they could use the new PR influx and IP addy… and add it to their collective? Who knows - I got the shove. I would have liked to have learned a bit with them - but what the hell. Other opportunities will make their appearance I’m sure.
This has definitely kicked my ass into gear to keep working on these fan sites I’ve developed.

I’ve heard that b5media give you 60:40 in ad revenue in their favour. It doesn’t seem worth it to me, although celebrity blogging revenues can be big

I’ve found… so far - that I really enjoy the fan blogging, and I’m hoping that these fan sites become a bit more lucrative. I’m wondering if there are certain fan sites that would be more lucrative than others… lets say - Britney Spears, Paris Hilton? Big in gossip blogs… might be something to look into. Although, for myself, I don’t think Paris is someone I’d want to learn much more about - or care too… but if it’s the money we’re after… maybe?
