The Offices of The Net’s Biggest Bloggers

How to make $593 in less than one hour

Ever wonder what the home offices of the Internet’s biggest bloggers look like? Need ideas for your own home office? Well, Shanker Bakshi dot Com has posted some pics showing the offices and work stations of over a dozen A-List bloggers.

Wonder how offices of these top shot bloggers look like? Well in my quest to become a successful blogger I always think about it. Most of the Tech Geek Bloggers uses their laptop for blogging purpose but most of the top bloggers have their very own blogging headquarters, a very fine decked fully loaded and equipped office. I always wanted to have a workplace like this.

I’m giving here pictures of offices of my favorite bloggers for your delight. Hope you would like it.

My office currently consist of a MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, two PCs, one media PC, one 30″ LCD, two 20″ LCDs and one 50″ plasma screen. I’ll most likely be adding a Mac Pro with three 24″ LED displays next. As fancy as that sound, it still doesn’t quite compare to this.

It is dream of almost of bloggers :)

PV Reymond May 2, 2009 at 12:20 pm

Hi John,

It is a cool office, but with 6 monitors I think you can get distracted and lose focus.

I prefer to have only 2.

Thanks,
^PV Reymond

Aman@BullsBattleBears May 2, 2009 at 12:28 pm

some of those offices looked insane…however, I”m content taking my BB and Laptop outside onto a patio or a Starbucks and do what I need to do. Its better than being stuffed in a box all day.

Six monitors for me would be too extreme. I have two & that’s good enough for me.

Aman@BullsBattleBears May 2, 2009 at 9:00 pm

agree. I thought the point of blogging for a living “the dot com style” was to have no office and no constraints….

Plus I wonder what the energy waste on 6 monitors is.

Aman@BullsBattleBears’s last blog post: Weekend Market Cap

Melody May 3, 2009 at 12:46 am

I don’t particularly see why any “regular” blogger would have six monitors–what those are usually for is in graphics design/ video editing where you are able to space out several programs (like adobe after effects) and their multiple panels to optimize the space..

So those in the graphics/editing/related technology department would definitely make use of a couple monitors–anyone else would probably be just wasting a lot of money..

Exactly. I don’t have an office. I do all of my stuff in a spare room. I don’t need all the office-fancy equipment. I like it to actually feel like I’m at home.

If you have 6 monitors you can do 6 times the amount of work that you can do with one monitor. I can’t go back to one monitor. At home I have two and at work I have two monitors. Thanks Greg Ellison

What’s he supposed to do with all of those moniters. I’ve heard of “more screen space the better” but I’d have absolutely no use for those ones. How is a blogger supposed to write six articles all at the same time? Still, it’s pretty cool.

Aman@BullsBattleBears May 3, 2009 at 7:54 am

lol…good point. unless the font is really big enough to take up more than one monitor.

Jake Stone May 4, 2009 at 11:13 am

Actually I have similar setting at the factory. It is easier to control the production line when the whole process shows in one long row of monitors. But even our long row of monitors has only three of them, that’s more than enough.

Nobody needs 5-6 computers/monitors to blog but who doesn’t like having a nice workspace?

I do think that office is a bit much though.

First and foremost, I must address the office of Stefan Didak, are you sure he is a blogger, because with that set up it looks like something out of Star Trek or NASA, are you sure he isn’t launching rocket ships or such? Anyway, pretty cool to see where some of these people do their work from. John, please don’t take this as a criticism, but why don’t you let your wife do a little decorating to spruce your office up, she could do wonders with her expensive taste buds …
