Here’s an article from the Christian Science Monitor that talks about bloggers who are making money from their blogs. It’s from Feb. 2007 but the principles still apply today.
Bloggers Can Make Money But Most Keep Day Jobs
Here’s a quote from Darren that I like:
Several highly successful bloggers also caution that there’s no free lunch. “I worked anything from eight- to 16-hour days over the last three or four years just trying to do this,” says Mr. Rowse. “And a lot of people don’t see that.”

Hey, I don’t. Gave up my day job and I blog full time now.
So am I special ??
Okay… you’re special Andrew!
Blogging is not a thing I would do as a full time job. I have a 9-5 job which brings in a fixed income that my family needs to live day to day. By the looks of things, some fulltime bloggers work at it for a many more hours than I do at my 9-5.
It really takes a lot of drive and commitment if you are going to commit to it full time. Most bloggers are heavily relying on AdSense which is a mistake. It’s good to get a few more income streams going before you decide whether to go full time.
Easy money is no Money. You need to be insistant, consistant and do not be hesitant.
This is the only Mantra.
