Comments on: An Interview with Meetu (withoutgivingthemovieaway.com) http://beingablogger.com/2008/06/30/an-interview-with-meetu-httpwithoutgivingthemovieawaycom/ A well-executed blog campaign is not rocket science. It is, however, an act of love. That's what gets in the way for some people. Love is scary stuff. - Hugh Mcleod Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:56:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Gemma http://beingablogger.com/2008/06/30/an-interview-with-meetu-httpwithoutgivingthemovieawaycom/#comment-1062 Gemma Wed, 30 Jul 2008 01:57:26 +0000 http://beingblogger.wordpress.com/?p=93#comment-1062 A fascinating interview, many thanks.

Thanks, Praneshachar and Nita! Your encouragement is very heartening. About donations, I was VERY uneasy with asking for donations, but since it is used as a source of income at many sites, I put my ego/self respect aside and did it. I think the reason it doesn't work for my site is because review writing is not necessarily looked upon as 'social work' in comparison to say getting celebrity bloggers to blog together or voluntarily managing wiki or running Desi Pundit. The only reason I thought there might be a chance is because people kept saying, "thanks for saving my money!" Anyway, no harm done :) And of course, thanks Poonam for having me here. Hey!

But I noticed most full-time bloggers do it. That is why I asked Meetu about it and she said it is not working. @Nita: I too found Meetu's site while googling for a movie review. yeah, I was surprised that people do not donate. :) Meetu would be happy to have your wishes!

Interesting to read Meetu's interview. I guess making money from a blog is what many want, but it's very enlightening to know that people will actually not donate! Her site has a professional look and I wish her all the best in the future. I have seen this site and wondered who was behind it. Interesting to read Meetu’s interview.
