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.

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

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

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
