b5media.com was just featured in the New York Times within the article Can Blogs Become a Big Source of Jobs?.
There were other information from various sources in the said article, but here’s the bit on b5:
At b5media, a global blog network out of Toronto with about 200 blogs on subjects ranging from sports and entertainment to news and technology, writers work on a contract basis. They are paid a fee of only $100 to $250 a month, based on their experience and the quality of their work. The real money can come from bonuses that are tied to the traffic their blogs receive.
Including bonuses, one popular entertainment writer, who is also an editor, makes in the neighborhood of six figures a year, said Jeremy Wright, chief executive of the network. The writer’s Lindsay Lohan site is consistently among the most popular, pulling in about 500,000 visitors a month.
Mr. Wright said that it was far more common for full-time bloggers on the site to make $40,000 to $60,000 a year. But even that kind of pay may be hard for other bloggers to achieve.
So, basically, the answer to the main question is Yes and No. People can definitely make blogging a proper paying venture. But, the money from it will vary from blogger to blogger.
