I have problogger on my RSS feeds, and often come across content I just have to share. In a recent post, Darren Rowse shared info from 8 Pitfalls To Avoid When Starting An Internet Business. Here’s the shortcut version:
- Don’t start a business teaching how to make money online
- Choose non-Internet related niches
- Don’t focus on making money
- Don’t enter a tiny market
- Watch out for tiny margins
- Look for leverage points
- Avoid self-employment thinking
- Be aware of your own limitations
All very good advice.

I, personally, don’t have enough feed subscribers to make this a money-making piece of news to me. However, I just found out that Text Link Ads have just launched a new advertising format called Feedvertising. (Found via problogger.)
In his post, Darren writes:
There are two main ways you can use Feedvertising in your Feeds:
1. To promote your own products, services, affiliate products, key pages on your blog etc (placing ‘personal’ ads as I’m doing now)
2. Letting TLA sell ads for you in their marketplace
You can of course do a combination of both. You have 6 ad slots available to fill which are rotated as you write more posts.
From the Feedvertising page:
Bloggers can use our FREE Feedvertising technology to run text link ads in your RSS feed. Whether the ads come from us, your own in-house efforts, or your affiliate links… the choice is totally up to you! Currently for WordPress 2.0+ users with more blogging platforms coming very shortly.
Cool. I’m putting this on my “to use” list.
