DO you think if you are a blogger who has blogs with thousands of visitors daily, you could be financially independent? You still have to monitor your blog everyday, place effort and time. Thats work ( or pleasure .. you could call it too), but you could not leave it and go for vacation for six months and back. You loose your traffic and income. Financially independent means you income comes in constantly even when you stop working putting the effort.
It is very much possible, but for me it's kinda risky to rely only on your blog as a means to sustain you and your family financially.
Every business suffers if neglected. The blogging industry is no different. If you do want to go on vacation, hire some competent staff to update the blog so that it does not suffer. Money will continue to come in
Yes, a blogger could be financially free for himself / herself but its very hard to maintain the same level of income every month. Also I believe it depends on how the blogger spend their monthly expenses too.
Lol, and if you worked in McDonalds could you just go on vacation for 6 months??? Theres things called bills, food etc. I'm guessing you're under 18 and don't need to consider those things If you work online you can go anywhere you want. I went to eastern europe for a weekend and stayed there four months. I had my laptop with me so it wasn't an issue. Anyone in a 9-5 job certainly couldn't do that.
