Ask not what Obama can do for you, ask what can Obama do for your blog?
Love him or hate him, think he can do our US economy any good or not, there is one thing for sure, people and companies are cashing in on Obamanomics in a big way.
MSN Money Blog contributor Todd Harrison’s post(written by Minyanville Contributor Tal Pinchevsky) Obama swag stimulates economy shows a few examples of companies making it big and riding the “Obama is good for our bottom line” wave. Companies such as The New York Times, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Banana Republic and the list goes on.
With sold out copies of news papers, logo changes and even font following these are just a few examples. Last I looked Twitter listed him as having by far the largest following (though that is not an actual monetizer just yet but it is capital in tweetland)
Get yourself to start thinking out of the Oval and think about how you too can monetize your blog because of this history making president. I am sure he would be the first to say thank you for doing your part to stimulate our economy.
Ask yourself in what way can I tie into this trend with my blog and make it pay?
If nothing else he may add a few new readers to your blog just because you wrote a halfway decent post and used his name and maybe his picture…with a US flag 
So put a pic of the prez in front of you and ask him to pony up for you and your blog.

Chris Brogan gives 41 ways to to have a top shelf blog. The first is not in his list of 40, the first one is not doing as much as being. The first 1 of the 40 is “You make a Commitment”,a commitment that you will have a high traffic blog.
“You’ve got a chance right now….. you can make a commitment.” “Here’s what you can commit to for 2009: you’re going to have a killer blog. You’re going to write the kind of blog people post, tweet, link, and even print to stick up on their office wall. Your blog in 2009 is going to be the kind of blog that people use to power their own change. This is your chance to get out there and kick ass.”
