Bloggers - jack of all trades

Posted by stuart as ,

Whilst working on a coding job for a client over the last couple of weeks, I had pause for thought on what it takes to be a successful blogger.

To be a succesful blogger, we need to be a jack of all trades:

• Market research
• Web Hosting
• PHP
• HTML
• CSS
• Content creation
• Search Engine Optimization
• Page Layout
• Ad placement optimization
• Ad copy writing

……and so on.

I just wonder what would happen if we outsourced all of the above, except for the content creation, and concentrated solely on the provision of content.

I know I could create a whole lot more content if I didn’t spend hours wrestling with Wordpress themes, plugins, CSS layouts etc.

Anybody ever considered going this route? On the flip side, anybody considered providing these services to potential clients?
