How Much Do Top Tier Bloggers and Social Media Consultants Get Paid? We Asked Them! (78)

ReadWriteWeb (4525) permalink
The media world is changing and its jobs are changing too. The rise of the blogger is an often-told story, but are the lucky few bloggers who do it for a living well paid? We did a survey to find out. We asked 20 top-tier tech bloggers and social media consultants to tell us how much they get paid, by the post, by the hour or by the month - however their rates are set. ...Shared by Adam Maldonado (213) Alex (28) Alex (37) anarchist.tv // wortgefecht.net (9) Anthony Umann (4) arjo (80) Babychen Mathew (299) Carlos La Grange (6) Casper (154) Chris Stamas (17) chrisbrogan.com (31) Christian (10) Christian Bogh (3) Christian Krautwald (1) David Chartier (20) David Ciccarelli (6) Dawn Foster (3) Dieter Schwarz (10) dobata (278) DOCBook Howto (146) Garrett Pierson (11) Gemstar38 (128) Harrison (6) iAlja (69) Igor Poltavskiy (26) Iván (9) Jackie Peters (2) Jason Hoch (57) Jawad Shuaib (24) Jeff F.

Some listed monthly rates of $2k to $4k per engagement, which we assume probably means 20 to 40 hours per month.Social media (or in many cases Search Engine Optimization) consulting is probably making a fair number of people six figures. What are these people doing? They are advising companies on how to set up and run blogs, how to reach out to and relate to bloggers, how to use Twitter (seriously) and how to make advanced use of RSS. The SEO work is probably the most technical, but degrees of technical challenge are all relative. A lot of this work is about communication skills.It's a new world online and people with experience succeeding in it are widely sought-after by businesses wanting to catch up fast. There's a nearly bottomless need for and a strong demand for high-quality social media consulting - the big challenge is bridging the gap between living a Web 2.0 life and reaching out effectively to people.We believe there are a fair number of snake-oil salespeople in the social media consulting field as well, but we didn't survey any of those people.

Finally! Google to Offer RSS Feeds for Web Search Results (101)
onA rumor that's been floating around the web lately is that Google will offer RSS feeds for new results in basic web search. Today Search Engine Land confirmed that Google will "soon" offer this functionality. Why is this big news? Because there's no better way to keep track of new mentions of a company, person or concept online than through RSS.

Retro and Vintage In Modern Web Design (44)
on
Smashing Magazine (1283) permalink
Retro and vintage are becoming a new trend. Once rarely used in this robust, dynamic medium, early, retro and vintage elements are now becoming more and more popular in a variety of design contexts. Online shops, corporate designs, portfolios and blogs incorporate both styles on a small and large scale. When applying “old-style” elements to their works, designers produce creative and appealing designs that make their websites stand out and look really different.
