Bloggers have done a ton of work building traffic and communities around their blogs and have managed to attract great communities around them; kudos to all fellow bloggers out there. This said, there has been one consistent problem; and it is that few bloggers have managed to monetize the traffic to their blogs. In most cases, the only ones benefiting are the blog-hosting sites and advertising middlemen reaping the bloggers� hard work.

At TidWiT, we believe this to be unfair and have come up with an alternative solution, which allows bloggers to monetize their blogs and control their own destiny through selling content from their own blogs. Essentially, the blogger continues to blog their journal as they do today; however from their blog, they would also sell their higher value content. For example, a photographer blogger could continue to post great pictures and write a journal; however, they will now also be able to sell a collection of photos for say US$10 from their blog. A musician blogger can do the same and sell their own song or an album. A poet, writer, developer, or graphic designer blogger can also do the same; and so can a small business, a school or a non-profit. To do this, follow these simple and quick steps:

(It�s FREE)

Note: Cost of posting a content item on TidWiT is 1 Cent per day (US$3.65 per year) for a 3MB content piece.

 

In addition to their regular journal, bloggers can now post their own valuable content creations (e-books, photo collections, screensavers, software code, �) on TidWit and generate royalties from selling this content to anyone else in the world.

Bloggers can now also create a digital content storefront on www.tidwit.com, which groups all their sellable content pieces seamlessly within a unique URL, which is then hyperlinked from their blog.

Bloggers also get the benefit of classifying their sellable content on TidWiT with proper indexing so that it can be picked up easily by major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

Bloggers receive the additional benefit (for free) of having their content posted on TidWiT�s globally accessed digital content marketplace www.tidwit.com.

As people access the bloggers' blog and purchase their content, the blogger starts receiving monthly royalty checks for all that they have sold.

That�s it really! TidWiT has already paid out thousands of US$ worth of royalties for individual bloggers just like yourself. So go ahead, give it try by following the above steps. And if you like it, please refer us to others.

If the content seller is in the United States, or has a bank account in the United States, TidWiT will be able to pay the seller by check or via Paypal. If the seller is outside of the United States, at this point the only method of payment will be through PayPal.
