I’m starting a new category called “Hangout Cafe” where our various contributors can talk about off topic matters like music, family, life, etc. It’s just a place to unwind and get to know each other better like having and espresso without talking business.

I just spent $15.39 on 4 CD’s at Half.com…

Somewhere More Familiar… : Sister Hazel (CD, 1997)

Bent [Single] : Matchbox Twenty (CD, 2000)

Yourself Or Someone Like You : Matchbox Twenty (CD, 1996)

Crash : Dave Matthews (CD, 1996)

Although the above is a sample of the type music I like, you cannot tell much about me by it because I also like The Allman Brothers and The Black Crows which in and of themselves are two totally different bands.

Styles come and go, trends ebb and change, and it seems that we are on the forefront of a new style of blog advertising. All the cool kids are doing it, and it seems to be working. Take a look:

Blog-vertising can mean big bucks if you’ve got a popular blog. Many of these little cubes are going for $1,000+ a month – you do the math! That’s the power of gaining a strong following and doing the legwork to establish yourself as an expert in the industry.

How do you get to charge those kinds of rates for advertising? The same way that magazines do – by gaining subscribers. In our future posts about RSS feeds, well talk more about how to develop a strong, measurable, readership through RSS subscriptions.

Until then, try subscribing to some RSS feeds yourself if you don’t already to see how it works from a user’s point of view.
