PlentyofFish.com is worth $10M a year, according to a recent article in the NY Times.
Markus Frind, the Vancouver based creator, works about 10 hours a week. Nice.
Markus doesnt really have to do much other than maintain the servers and make sure the website is online, all the content is created by the users. The more users, the more the content, the more content, the more users - it’s not a vicious cycle, it’s a brilliant cycle.
That’s what social networking sites crave, they create the place where people congregate, the people create the content that keeps them coming back. Facebook works the same way.
I’m not really wanting to create a social network here, but I am looking for some help. I have hundreds of blogs I read each day, entertainment, food, news, local, tech etc. but I dont have a good photography blog. Something basic. I bought the Panasonic FZ18 as a Christmas present for myself, and I’m still trying to make it work.
So, which photo blogs do you read?
For that matter, which other blogs do you read that you’d like to spread the word about?
No personal pimping here, this is an old fashioned word-of-mouth, tell-two-friends-and-so-on type of post.
The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard?.

I subscribe to hundreds of blogs but only two of them are actually photo blogs…
Botany Photo of the Day

Daily Dose of Imagery

I usually read Strobist.com (flash photography techniques on the cheap) and just started reading photojojo.com for the photo nerd in me. Flickr group posts for camera specific stuff are great as well - just search the groups section for your model camera and you’ll probably find a bunch.
Buzz, I think you may like this blog. A morning show co-host and amateur photographer. I came across this station in Detroit, Channel 955 and loved it. Listened online from time to time and then came across one of the hosts blogs. At the time, there wasn’t much photography on it, however over the past few years it has transformed into a photo blog site. Check it out and enjoy
