Bloggers

Looking to get paid to blog about subjects you love? Tell us what you're passionate about and let's find out if there's a fit!

Readers

All of our blogs are 100% unfiltered and certified to be the complete, unvarnished truth. We don't tell our bloggers what to write.

Marketers

Our industry leading blogs like Engadget, Autoblog, and Joystiq reach millions of passionate readers every month.


Step right up and apply to blog for one of our 90 fine blogs -- or suggest a blog topic and maybe we'll start a new blog! WIN bloggers are paid to blog as little or as much as they like, are unfiltered, and can shift from blog to blog within the network. Our only requirements are that you be totally honest with your audience and passionate about the subjects you cover. Talk to our editorial team if you're interested!

Samples: Please enter three sample blogs posts in the style of the blog you'd like to join.

Weblogs, Inc. is a blog company run by bloggers for bloggers; as such we're committed to keeping blogging authentic and honest. We want our readers to trust our blogs, so we've committed to the following:

  • There is a clear separation between advertising and editorial on all WIN blogs. Our bloggers are not involved in the advertising process. In fact, our bloggers find out who's advertising on our blogs at the same time as the audience!
  • Bloggers do not receive free products or services from the companies they write about.
  • Bloggers do accept review units (i.e., a new cell phone at Engadget, a video game at Joystiq, or a week-long car loan at Autoblog); however, when they're finished reviewing products, they return these items to the manufacturers. If the manufacturers do not take the items back, we give them to our readers. This is the same editorial policy as the New York Times or Wall Street Journal.
  • Bloggers do not accept "junkets" from vendors. Junkets are free trips that PR firms and the companies they represent provide to journalists in the hopes of getting favorable reviews for their products. Our bloggers routinely get offers of first class tickets and four-star hotels at amazing destinations � we NEVER accept them! If we go to an industry event you can be sure that we've picked up the cost of the tickets and that we suffered in coach in order to maintain our integrity.
  • If we get something wrong, we correct the error immediately.
  • Bloggers are committed to being up front and honest. Their opinions are their own, and if you don't agree with them, feel free to post a comment!

Blogs represent a unique way to reach early adopters who create the word of mouth around your products and services. Our industry leading blogs like Engadget, Autoblog, and Joystiq reach millions of passionate readers a month. Contact Steve in our marketing solutions team and we'll tailor a solution that best meets your needs. Steve may be reached at: Steve@weblogsinc.com or 310-285-2910.

Autoblog Latino launches

Autoblog Latino launches

Weblogs welcomes a shiny-new blog: Autoblog Latino. Targeted to the US-based Spanish speaking audience, Autoblog Latino joins the Autoblog universe as another quality source of info for gearheads and car enthusiasts of every color and nationality. Of course, there's Autoblog Spanish as well, which covers the European and Latin American markets too. Autoblog Latino is housed under AOL Latino, an excellent community in itself.

The biggest day in Weblogs history


There are three huge events happening this week: the Detroit Auto Show, Macworld Expo and the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES. Luckily, Weblogs has a blog for each one! Autoblog has been a force to reckon with in Detroit, filling galleries with amazing hi-res pics and a ton of posts (they're at CES too!). TUAW continues coverage of Macworld, with podcasts, galleries and interviews. Engadget has CES so in its blood they have a "CES optimized" page layout you can use! Of course, Engadget has a slew of Macworld coverage as well, and somehow managed to cover all the CES keynotes AND the Macworld keynote yesterday-- complete with a liveblog, pics and video of Apple's iPhone. The sheer amount of information being provided is astounding, and would likely fill a hefty book.

The "net effect" of all this, as pointed out by our own Judith Meskill, was the single biggest day of traffic in Weblogs history, bar none. And as she explains, it's all because of you, our faithful readers. Were it not for your insatiable thirst for information, all the Autoblog galleries, CES layouts and iPhone analysis in the world wouldn't mean a thing. While we provide the content, it's you who turn to us for the info, when you could just watch the 6 o'clock news and get the gist of it. Of course, we've found our readers aren't casual bystanders. You are passionate about your interests, passionate about cars, about tech-- and maybe that's why blogs are so much fun. Because our bloggers are enthusiasts and fans just like you.

What keyboard and mouse do you use?

TUAW wants to know. It seems like a simple question. If you're reading this right now you are more than likely using a keyboard and mouse of some sort. Is it whatever came with your machine? What keyboard and mouse do you use at home? At work? What would you rather use? Nearly all the Mac-heads at TUAW choose to use Microsoft mice. Strange but true. Head to TUAW to cast your vote.

Movers and shakers: the Engadget Index

engadget index
Engadget and Blogging Stocks have teamed up to create the Engadget Index. A portfolio of the hot tech stocks both in front and behind the scenes of the technology sector. Engadget will update the index monthly and quarterly, to give a snapshot of the tech sector, which also gives a glimmer of insight into the consumer electronics world at large (of course, they didn't really buy the stocks, and aren't financial advisors, so take whatever they glean with a grain of blogging salt).

From Engadget:
"We "purchased" 1 share of stock from fifty technology companies hand-selected by our editors, at prices dated October 2nd, 2006 -- the first effective date of Q4 2006. Our total investment for the fifty stocks is $1475.16. As time presses on we'll make additions and subtractions to our running list of stocks as necessary. We will, of course, notify you guys whenever the portfolio lineup changes."

Stay tuned each month to see what happens...

DV Guru interviews director Sujewa Ekanayake

dvguru interviewWith Google promising to open its video platform to indie filmmakers, and the acquisition of YouTube, it would seem self-distribution of movies is on the rise. Digital distribution makes sense, and it is potentially a powerful tool for those without a huge budget to get their films to audiences. With this in mind, Brian Liolia of DV Guru recently interviewed Sujewa Ekanayake. His film, Date Number One, was made on a shoestring, and Ekanayake is a master of DIY filmmaking. Now, with digital tools at his disposal, he has entered the world of DIY distribution as well.

Check out the new Engadget

engadget 2.0Engadget rolled out some nifty new features and a subtle redesign this week. What's new? How about user-moderated comments? That's right, vote comments up or down, or collapse and filter them. No more waiting for a comment email either, Engadget works with a simple login, so comments appear just like magic. And for those of you rocking the web on big screens, the entire page is dynamic, so scaling up to widescreen results in more content and (this is so cool), bigger pictures! There are many more new things, like a 'Breaking News' box, tags, feeds, and such, but you get the idea. Engadget 2.0 is here.

TV Squad interviews Jimmy Kimmel

jimmy kimmel interview on tv squadTV Squad has another interview up.

Will you buy the BlackBerry Pearl?

BlackBerries aren't sexy like T-Mobile's Sidekick, or snazzy like the Treo, or even hot like the RAZR. BlackBerries are, however, incredibly useful machines with well-placed features. But BlackBerry/RIM is taking a stab at the "cool" market and is set to launch the BlackBerry Pearl on September 12. The Pearl features a music player, camera, and eschews the trademark scrollwheel on the side for a scrollball. BBHub is asking the obvious question: will you buy a BlackBerry Pearl?

PVR Wire podcast

pvr wire podcastAs the explosion in personal video recorders continues, PVR Wire debuts its very own podcast covering the industry. While you're on PVR Wire, don't forget to check out how to get a DirectTV HD DVR for free (maybe), how to fix your busted portable media player, and see a Series 3 Tivo being unboxed. You'll thank us when everyone's wearing a Tivo Series 200 wristwatch.

The Engadget Commercial Contest

engadget commercial contestIt's been a little while, but Engadget has a hot new contest running until September 10: make a TV commercial. The prize is an ultra-cool, shiny new Vaio with HDMI, Blu-ray, and a 17-inch screen. The complete rules are on Engadget, but anyone is eligible (including pros), and videos need to be less than five minutes. Given the amount of detail you can get in a 30-second ad, it doesn't seem too hard to extoll the virtues of Engadget in the epic timeframe given. Then again, covering robots to tablet PC's, wireless to mobile and back to gadgets again is no small task.
