Tough choice. I do both and love both, though in most cases blogging for others is better paid and puts me in touch with new readers. I think I would probably blog for myself if I had to make a choice, though, because it would be up to me to control the success of the blog. Hmm! Tough choice.

I recently read a WIRED article about how bloggers (and others online) are becoming microcelebrities ... they have to concern themselves with their appearances because they have a following. I think it's definitely true that if you don't want to deal with the headaches of "minor fame", you should go with blogging for others. -k Thanks for adding the point about blogging and exposure.

Content scrapers is a perfect example of one of the reasons that it's great to blog for someone else. That's one that can be difficult to deal with on your own ... blogging can definitely be a full time job and it's taking care of those hassles that can eat up time when you're doing it all on your own. I also forgot to add that in many networks, you really get the benefit of working within a community. Content scraping made me think of it because that's something that often comes up on blog network forums. It's nice to be able to vent to someone within the group about the negatives ... and also to find some solutions to the problems that come up! K Thanks!

The pay is much better..... Great post, by the way, one of the best here so far. I've often tackled this issue. I do both, as well, and it's been great. Usually when blogging for others, they will pay you either per post or per day/week/month...which works for me. And they're in charge of getting the advertisers for you. Like you said, there is also other people to deal with the problems in blogging for you. Like dealing with content scrapers.....I just send an email to whoever handles that, and it's taken care of.

I am taking both roads and i'm happy!
