In a continuation of yesterday’s article about the crisis decided to see how things have leading bloggers. I am most interested in issues - as the crisis has affected the income of blogging and professional activities. In this regard, I asked 3 questions:
Will the crisis on your professional activities?
Does it impact on your income?
Does reduced revenue from advertising on my blog?

Responses received the following:

X1 : «Fortunately, the crisis of my activities are not affected. Revenue remained unchanged. Revenues from advertising on blogs also remain at the same level.

I think in any crisis, people will seek clients from the Internet. In my opinion, in times of crisis, many businesses will intensify their activities online. Because the Internet the same Internet shopping site or services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and available to any country. Plus do not need many of the costs related to an offline business. It gives a lot of advantages.

Of course, the global crisis could materially affect the Internet, while some areas may be available online to get a good momentum for development due to the fact that off-line businesses will increase online in search of customers.

In general, my view is - you need to continue working, and everything will be fine. »

X2 : «1. Yes, affected. Some projects that are planned, postponed. A current projects have received more attention and slightly modified goal.
2. While slightly. But the main events will be next year, so prepare!

Now (from day to day), I go to a new level, starting to work with major IT-advertiser Moscow and look forward to significant growth in revenue in the near future. »

X5 : «The crisis affected. Orders has become more Debt also added. It is highly debts plane. Revenues from the crisis have not changed much (only on food and housing shortage, and all that is already well above). Inflation has been rising faster (although in the U.S. deflation).

Advertising on the blog grows. Ilya Rabchenok always something sends. Placeholders and zaletnye advertisers. And in general. Advertising on blogs in itself is effective if so, what works for the trust marketing. However, it inexpensive, which is also important. In 2009 a lot of strong plans. The crisis is not eternal. Therefore, the crisis-crisis, but could not stop and we have to go forward. »

X6 :
«1. All the talk of a crisis, all afraid, but I got it yet, in fact, not touched. The point is that I do not deal directly with customers from offline - firms, companies and other organizations, which touched on the crisis, which many have turned their web-projects. Crisis has touched them, they froze their orders - all these are said to be influenced and freelancers, and web design, and seo company. But for ordinary manimeykerov no …
2. There has been a decline in revenue in adsense and directives. The remaining lines remain afloat.
3. No. Banners hang, pointsman bought - everything is going according to plan:). »

The conclusion from all this one: until the crisis blogosferu not start, there is a slight decline in advertising budgets, but the bulk of bloggers are not yet affected. There is a feeling that the crisis has touched most Ukraine and linked to the fall course hryvnia to the dollar. Wait see what will, I hope everything stabilizes.

What to say? Will the crisis on your earnings?
