Paying Writers Based on Traffic

Written on February 8, 2008 – 8:12 pm | by Wordpreneur |

BusinessSome interesting commentary at WebProNews on the issue of paying blog contributors based in part on how many eyeballs their posts attract. The more popular writers, obviously, get more money as a direct result of their performance.

Personally, seems like a small time approach to me. All it would take is one big boy with deep pockets to do the usual prepay and lock up the top talent (and the audience that follows them around).

But it is an interesting idea. Could be a way to bootstrap a startup online pub, converting to a traditional pay model once it has established itself. Hmmm. Thoughts?
