So, here are some of them:

• Expat News. While i was living in Berlin i read TheLocal, which is a international network of local news sites, written in English. It’s a very good site to have, because the expats living in Romania are usually in middle or upper management, so they have money.
• Financial News. The current situation is not pretty and a have an example for it: some time ago, a shareholder of one of the biggest football clubs in Romania got married to a young girl. News flew from site to site, what dress will she wear, what car will they be driving, what champagne will they serve. These news flew from site to site, reaching financial news site, as i tend to avoid gossip and general news sites. But not an article was written on these sites from a business perspective. I wanted to know how much is he worth, how much will they spend in this economy, how me made his money and more. You know, news written from a businessman perspective – for a business site. So this is the problem. There are no good financial journalists and no good news sites.
• Educational Sites. Jessica Alba and that other skinny blond chick are launching children sites, because they are mothers and they are a voice good to be the site’s spokesperson. Mihaela Rădulescu, one of the few true showbiz stars we have, launched a clothing line for kids. The market was wide open in 2006, when we (me and a coleague working for Mediafax Internet Group) came up with the idea for boboci.ro as an educational site. It still is. Kids are online, but for how long can the play online games?
• Educational iOS Apps. I had an iPad lying around the house and my nephews came to visit. They are Angry Birds champions on their mother’s iPhone. They fell in love with it. And from speaking with their mother and other parents, there are no children games for these gadgets.

There are many niches uncovered and un-invented. All it takes is money and patience.

The reason we continue to run campaigns is the idea we were honest to each other and were open about the fees each blogger was getting. As I was saying on my Romanian blog, rather than be jealous on each other making money, we should try to make money together. And we ran campaigns with other bloggers and promoted other bloggers that are not part of Blog20.

Making money always attracts enemies, in our case, many enemies. And they attack me and my online friends, because we keep them down and scare visitors from their blogs (don’t ask how i do it, it’s a mystery to me, too). Yes. Bad bad Zoso.

What they didn’t get yet and probably will not realize in the near future is that Blog20 does not exist (link1, link2). It’s just an inside joke, there is no headmaster, there is no strategy, there is no team. Each “member” does what he wants, but he will call upon his friends when he needs to run a campaign, because there is nobody else! If there is, he will not hesitate to include other people in the project and nobody cares if they get people outside “the group”!

To sum things up, their attacks are not working because they attack something that does not exist. And Blog20 will continue to make money despite their hate and attacks.

Since I left Bucharest (I’ve moved to Berlin, Oradea and now Brasov)  I’ve developed a personal brand strategy. I show up for a few conferences and gigs and people tend to cherish that. I don’t bore people with my presence every time there is an event remotely connected to online, even thought I get invited to most of them (and probably can get in the ones i am not on the list).

It’s understandable to enjoy events, but people will get bored of your presence, especially if you don’t have anything interesting to say.

But the fact is ubervu.com is a spamsite. They claim they follow social media and expect a payment for it, but that is not true. They steal and they spam.
