ONE of the people I followed before diving off into the freelance world and using blogging software to publish news site was Rafat Ali.
There is a great piece on MediaBistro that looks into how Rafat set himself up and where he believes his own online publications could go.
It is interesting to note that he started PaidContect.org to raise his profile, something I stress to fellow freelancers, and also how niche online publications can break stories quickly and work closely with advertisers.
This was something that came up during a recent chat I was part of that highlighted there was real potential to compete against old style business publications and local newspapers.
More on that chat here... as well as from Steve Herrmann of the BBC.
