I was just reading about Blog Outsourcing on Darren Rowse’s excellent Problogger site.  It got me thinking.  I mean, if we play word accociation for this one, “outsourcing” is definitely gonna bring “China” to mind.

Given the fact that so many industries are being outsourced to China, doesn’t it make sense that blogging - and here I mean Professional Blogging - is outsourced as well?  There are many bloggers out there who are making a good living from doing nothing but writing about certain topics. Ad revenue is their main source of income, and some of them seem to do quite well. 

They do so well in fact that they can often hire on staff to help maintain their sites, and produce content.

Will anyone take advantage of the cheap Chinese labor market, using it to build a profitable and successful website (in English or Chinese)?  I expect having a team of Chinese bloggers write about a topic such as weight loss, or the stock market would be an easy way to draw traffic, and thus ad revenue.  Interesting thought…

Has it been done already? 

I’m curious…  It does make good business sense.
