“Blogs are not just for Self-expression. A Clutch of Entrepreneurs are also making money from Blogging and living off it. – Nikhil Menon….
“Thirty-two years old Amit Agarwal, an IIT-Roorkee grad, quit his software engineering in 2004 to start blogging full-time. He wanted to showcase his work and lap up freelance assignments that abound on the Net. Amit Says, “I knew that even if the blog did not work, I could still land a good job. So I decided to take the plunge”. Agarwal has launched Labnol.org in 2004. He pumped in content on software & gadgets reviews, personal web applications & tutorials on it. In time, number of visitors grew and Agarwal added advertising to his Blog. He soon realizes that he was running a full-time ‘business’ and did not need to take up a job. 5 years down the line, Agarwal’s Gamble seemed to paid off. His site has about 40,000 registered users and he makes around Rs.2 Lakhs from it a Month.
Now Blogs are run as Companies & their owners are CEOs……..”
