Why Pay a Blogger?
Bloggers are seldom after just fame and fortune. But they do give up an awful lot of their spare time to make their readers smarter, happier or simply more efficient in killing time.
Many fans are very good at reciprocating by spreading the word, commenting, buying bloggers' wares or even making donations. But it's a tiny drop in the ocean compared to what we spend on ad-filled magazines or tips to waiters that are unfriendly if not rude.
So what if ALL of us gave something back to bloggers?
What if people would tip blogs like they tip bar staff?
Some of the wittiest most insightful content comes from bloggers doing it because they want to, not because of money and fame. That is all the more reason to give something back.
