Foreign Perspectives

Where I can, I usually try to tag paid posts in the same way as I would for normal ones with the exception that almost all of them are also dropped into the Sponsored category too.

However, over the last six months of doing them quite a lot have been related to America which, if you look at the category cloud to your left, has had the effect that America has risen almost to the same status as France had previously. It’s not so much that the France entries are reducing (although they have been) but that the sheer weight of American ones have shifted the scales considerably.

It could be worse in fact as many posting opportunities specify that the blog has to be written and maintained in America which obviously eliminates us for the moment although it does have me wondering if we were doing pretty much the same level of posting and living in America, would it bring in enough money to live on? I suspect that it could well do and presumably there are at least some Americans with blogging as their occupation. That might sound a little weird but if you think about it, this is just another branch of journalism in some ways and there’s loads of professional journalists around.
