Making money from blogs?

We've all heard about professional bloggers--people who make money from blogging. Many of them use Google's AdSense to generate some pocket money.

Now, there is a couple of new options for local bloggers who attract good traffic. One is called Nuffnang, and the other is Advertlets.

Both serve more or less the same purpose: to help bloggers monetize their blogs via ads.

It's good that these kinds of services have emerged. Traditional media placement companies are not familiar with blogs and therefore are ill-equipped to deal with them.

These smaller, niche companies, in contrast, are founded and staffed by younger, Net-savvy people who are fully connected to the blogging scene.

Edwin Yapp

An engineer by training, Edwin first cut his teeth as a cellular radio frequency optimization engineer in one of Malaysia's largest telcos. After more than five years, he hung up his radio engineering boots to try his hand at technology reporting at The Star, Malaysia's leading English daily, where he won several awards for Best Online Technology reporting. He left to start his own editorial consultancy and is now a freelance journalist for several publications, including ZDNet Asia. A self-confessed gadget geek, Edwin hopes his blog contributions will stir up deeper discussions within the Malaysian technology scene.
