    It's not that easy.. but I do know some people earning much more than the regular employees with their blog alone. It's all about monetization and optimization. Content is king :)

    Good explanation. Yes, it's not easy to earn money through blogging. You need to allot time in promoting and getting traffic before you can earn big bucks. In short, you have a successfull blog. And your blog also have sense not just by you are only aiming for money.

    True but not from a single blog....they have a network of blogs. All the big guns have a network of many blogs.

    The average person cannot earn a living solely through one blog.

    I agree with mullman99 that LIST BUILDING is yet another asset. People are subscribing to your blog for their own reasons and not yours. It's quite tricky and challenging, but yes it is DO-able :)

    It can be done but it will not be easy down the road. Either you have money to spend or you will need to put in time and effort for the success. Also, luck plays an important role as well.

    I agree, it's extremely difficult to make a living on a single blog. It really takes a network to do. It's a lot easier to make a living with a dozen sites making a couple hundred dollars a month, in contrast to one blog bringing home $50,000-$100,000 a year. To make a living blogging, you've got to be putting in hours similar to that of a full-time job, in my opinion.

    Well it worked for this guy:
    stronglifts.com/

    I remember reading his bio claiming that he quit his job and runs the above site fulltime.

    I love the fact that lot of people at least earning whatever they can from online. A student who never could think of earn anything before(in many countries, not all), now can earn enough to carry some of his/her own expenses.

    Nice article, thanks for sharing:)
