Last week I started a new role, as Executive Editor of Creative Weblogging. In this new role I will be responsible for finding new talented bloggers and further building the company’s network of successful sites. I will continue with my other business activities, but felt this was a great opportunity to help shape an interesting business.

Creative Weblogging is a network of more than 65 blogs on niche topics. As I like to think of this network, it offers blogs for the “thoughtful consumer” and the business executive who wants to stay on top of developments on a given topic.

I have been editing a blog there for over two years — the RFID Weblog. I have known the founder, Torsten Jacobi, since 2003 from his own blog and have gotten an inside glimpse occasionally of the progress being made.

While Torsten is too modest to seek the limelight, he has done a great job building it into a business. Creative Weblogging is a profitable online business. In my view it is the sleeper of the blog world — often underestimated but quietly making progress.

In the coming weeks I will be writing about some of the exciting developments at Creative Weblogging that do not get much press, but are quite impressive from the standpoint of solid business progress — no matter what kind of metrics you use.

We are recruiting additional bloggers to write at the network. There are two ways to get paid: either a fixed monthly payment in exchange for 10 posts a week, or a percentage share of the ad revenues. The network has equal numbers of takers for both arrangements.

Many of the blogs there have multiple editors, so there is plenty of room for additional writers.

If you are interested in blogging at Creative Weblogging, please read this first. Then send me an email at anitablog@gmail.com and tell me the topic(s) you are interested in. I would love to hear from you.
