Darren Rowse at Problogger has recently initiated a discussion on the issue of blogging and money. He expounded upon the possibility of blogging differently if one has money. As a conclusion, he imparted the readers with a question — would you blog differently if you had a million dollars?

Of course, this is assuming that you’d still blog if you indeed have a million dollars. Putting into consideration the US dollar’s depreciation recently, a lot still would. As an aside, I’ve heard news from investor friends that the US dollar would sink more in value next year. Back to topic, if I had a million dollars, I’d be blogging much differently than I do now.

1. I won’t be working on one blog; I’d be working on a network of blogs. Think b5media. Think Creative Weblogging. I’d be managing my own network because I’d have the money for it. I have a myriad of ideas ready; I’m lacking only the money. So if I did have a million dollars, I’d definitely be launching a blog network.

2. I wouldn’t be blogging as much as I do now. Of course I’d still write my own posts, but now I could hire more writers to help me out as well as a techie to take care of my blogs’ backend problems, which I can never seem to solve anyways.

3. I’d be more laid back. I wouldn’t be thinking too much of my blogs’ revenues since I have enough for expenditures for quite a while. Now, for others, this might mean they’re able to perform better. For some people, the absence of pressure lets them explore their potentials. For me, it’s quite the opposite — I’ll probably be so laid back, I’d be slacking off.

And this is how I’d blog if I had a million dollars. How about you?
