Some bloggers just starting out may want to take a peek at the services that BlogBurst offers.  Essentially they are reselling your content to sites that could benefit from it. 

Here’s the breakdown:

Pros
Your work will likely get picked up by a major news outlet, if it’s timely and original.  News outlets are currently fascinated by blogs. 

Cons
You get paid nothing, AND they make money on your content.  Seems a little one-sided to me.

Duplicate content is frowned upon by search engines.

You must provide them with an ad-free feed.  While you can provide them with a feed that is ad free and still monetize your sidebars, your blog (on site), and an additional feed you provide to *your* subscribers, it still seems like a great deal of work for nothing.

If you want to ‘get your name out there’, Blogburst might make sense.  I can also see a reason to do this if you are a blogger that blogs for visibility for your business. 

Established journalist bloggers will likely avoid this route.
