Atoosa.com Launches: I'm the Blog Brand I Want

by Paula Neal Mooney

Atoosa Rubenstein has launched her much-awaited site, Atoosa.com

Who is Atoosa and what's the big deal about her lauching Atoosa.com? That's the same thing I wondered when I saw her mentioned in MediaBistro today, smarting that Atoosa has close to 44,000 MySpace friends. No doubt Atoosa.com will have a ton more readers than that.

Basically everthing I've read thus far about this 35-year-old former editor-in-chief of Seventeen (a job she left to follow her bliss and focus on her web business!) and creator of CosmoGIRL! has me nodding my head in agreement that the next Oprah won't be birthed on TV, but on the web.

Atoosa.com's launch has confirmed my own decision not to write a niche blog -- a blog focused tightly on one central topic -- though many folks have found success doing that.

But me? I'm interested in too many topics to write singularly, and I don't want to segment my traffic into a bunch of little blogs. Besides, it's the writer vessel -- like Atoosa.com will prove -- that's the brand.

I'm the niche. I'm the blog I want! With God running His Hand thru every pixel in each one of our posts...

Just reading a few of Atoosa's MySpace blog posts like "Find Motivation!" and "Only U Know What You're Capable Of" had me fired up and happy that I registered to Atoosa.com, which for now is just kicking butts and taking names (and email addresses).

And if Atoosa.com can grab the 1.25 million plus readers that Atoosa grabbed for CosmoGIRL! -- a concept birthed in her within 48 hours, I'll continue to keep a close eye on Atoosa.com!

I love this post, particularly when you wrote, "I'm the niche"! I'm a newbie (I started in Nov. 2006), and am sort of fumbling my way through. That was an encouraging statement. Now, the question becomes, "How do I become the niche?" You answered it, though. Being led by God, that's how. Thank you for your wonderful inspiration.

I think your "I'm the niche" comment has the potential of becoming a blog staple. That's a branding sounding type of theme to me. Well said.

Paula's List of Blogger Salaries...Are you on the list?

Update: For those who continue to enjoy this post, check out my website about 50 real online people making more than $50k per year , and my page where I update my online salary . UPDATE: Before you read any further or especially link to this old list, please check out "Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007" by clicking here! ~ Thanks, PAULA NEAL MOONEY by Paula Neal Mooney One of my favorite features in Parade magazine is the issue where they grab a random sampling of people and report their incomes -- from the millionaires to the working poor. Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte...

Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab...

† Tissa Godavitarne - Scam? Hoax? Or Internet Marketing Genius? Read these reviews...

UPDATE - I can't do it. Just as soon as I signed up with Tissa's people search engine, I cancelled. I just don't feel right about helping people find other people's addresses and phone numbers. AND THIS PRIVACY ISSUE IS GAINING STEAM. CHECK OUT THE CONTROVERSY BREWING OVER THE MYLIFE.COM PRIVACY SELLING ISSUES THAT TISSA USES TO PROVIDE THE PEOPLE SEARCH ENGINE INFO. I know I could probably make money with it, but it's just not sitting right with my soul. Back to the drawing board. I know better things await... I kept trying to rationalize that many people could use the people search engines for good purposes, like reconnecting with old classmates and finding deadbeat dads and such -- but the reality is that if just one person uses them for nefarious purposes, I just don't want to be a part of that. I wonder if Tissa would care if people found out the address of his fabulous home, and came a' knocking on his door? How I Bought a Brand New $1.2 Million Dolla...
