It would cost a lot of money to retain a full time writer, or even a part-time contributor. Also that brilliant but sneaky RM50 photo of the day. It would cost hundreds (or thousands) to buy a photo from a professional photographer (travel costs, equipment costs, ie RM10K-RM50K for cameras, zoom lenses etc). I suppose you do get some free publicity and a bit of ad revenue, but I think someone somewhere is getting screwed, hahaha Actually.. did you get paid? it’s kind of sneaky for The Star to use blogger’s material more and more to fill up their pages.
