AOL Belt-Tightening Forces Bloggers to Post for Free July 30, 2008
Posted by Mark Blei in : Uncategorized , trackbackBloggers working for AOL have been asked to cut back on postings or to stop posting altogether, while others are being asked to post for free, as the Time Warner company conducts some belt-tightening.
AOL has pulled back on posts at most of its 40-odd blogs for the month of July in the hopes of containing costs. Things are expected to go back to normal in August, writes Silicon Alley Insider.
As one AOL blogger told TechCrunch, most sites are working on a 5 posts/day deal, as long as those posts are written by U.S. writers. Anything above and beyond five posts a day is unpaid, and will be written under a staff account. The blogger said that nearly everyone had agreed to post for free in the hopes they will still have jobs come August.
