you are up and running in a snap, you have some pretty graphics, you are on the money with writing gritty hot copy, and people are commenting! whats missing? other than time there was little or no investment to get the engine rolling. where’s the return on investment if there was no real investment?

there is no free lunch right? so, how do you pay for your lunch? my guess is that you have to capture hearts and minds by diligently committing to what you believe in. even then there is no guarantee that a significant audience will care.

ultimately the notion of “getting paid” comes down to the audience. they have to care about what they are reading and they have to care enough to encourage the people the know to check it out. the audience is your judge, jury, and executioner.

I've been a Shriekback fan since college, so great to learn of current offshoots. From the article, I was inspired by the attempt to play in the new digital playground. The blog-dough comments seemed minor.
