An interesting new monetization strategy for bloggers is emerging today - letting readers subscribe to your blog via Text Messages.
TextMarks has launched this new service which allows bloggers to either charge $4.99 or $9.99 per month to their readers to get these instantaneous alerts.
It’s currently only available to US cell phone users on Cingular, Verizon, Sprint or Alltel.
This is an excellent idea and could be a good revenue generator for blogs and other websites where readers will pay for instant notification of breaking news.
The only downside - huge service fees. Carrier and TextMark fees eat up around 2/3 of the revenue, so publishers will only receive $3.00 of a $9.00 monthly subscription.
