    It is possible, just look at problogger.net or johnchow.com , they are 6 figure bloggers. But it's an hard and long path to go to earn such income from 1 blog. It's always more easier to earn $1000 from 5 blogs than from 1.

    Absolutely depends on the method of monetization. You must balance your desire to profit against the value you're providing your readers, and realize that not all the income from a blog is monetary. It may lead to increased opportunities elsewhere, or simply new contacts that could prove valuable.

    The premise of your blog post is totally wrong.


    Who says you gotta blog every day?? WTF?? The blind leading the blind. I have blogs I abandoned 6 months ago and they are increasing in traffic to this day. Blogging every day/week for years = STUPID (unless your doing sponsored posts on it already)

    Blogging as your living income? Yes! Its possible. But not all can do that. Must do research on what niche you will jump to, how was the audience, traffic generation, unique content and a lot more to have a great earning blog. How you monetize your blog also take part. Are it from CPA Network, affiliation or ads space.

    Do you think that subdomain named blogs from places like bogspot, wordpress.com and choseit.com can bring you in enough to earn a living from, becuase i rarely see a blogspot domain ranking top for alot of things, but then again i dont go searching.

    And what would be the optimum inervals of updates, one guy said he has an abondoned 6 month blog thats getting traffic so once a week would be okay? have a domain 4astudent want to make it into a blog site for when i go uni but then i can always create more blogs with places like above, choseit.com, wordpress blogspot theres probably hundreads more but will the sites rank less becuase of being subdomained (yes im a subdomain noob i only play with websites atm full, bought urls)

    (note choseit.com's free subdomain blogs no advertising is not accepting new signups for around 24 hours since this edit due to bug in the sign up process)

    it takes hard work and you need to be wriiting new posts every single day, but it can be worth it in the long term

    blogs and sites come and go..
    its not possible to make a living from web

    its only possible to make some good money and build your bank

    target $100-$200 a day.. when it starts to dry up.. give it fixed deposit.. or buy some assets..

    lol, maybe u have had bad experiences, But among all those phoney blogs etc, there are really good bloggers like myself ;) who want to educate, inform and help people on the net.....

    So, i think it was not right to blame everything.....you too should show interest and find time to devote to research and learning the good stuff

    Cheers

    I have my fingers in many pies in terms of making money online reason being is blogging like most ways of making money online its a bit hit and miss, so be careful about how much time you spend. i can share my experience which may help. I have loads of 'blog esq.' sites but they are autogenerated content on specific niches, they do well though but this is down to well researched niches and making sure the auto content is of value to the site. I have a couple of what i call 'me blogs' (so really handwritten content) which i write, as these are of interest to me and i find it easy to write unique content and build up a following. I started out with 20 blogs, and just to give you an example now 18 of those are autogenerated and 2 are handwritten because i was struggling to keep up with content for all of them after about 6 months. so just a warning if you do enter it make sure you can maintain your interest in that blog as you will need it.

    i am not blaiming..

    http://techsuave.com/2008/07/05/friday-fresh-links-and-june-2008-earnings-and-traffic-report/

    is that your blog?

    it earned only $6 hundread+

    and when a UK waiter gets 1500 pound to 3000 pound

    anything below $100 $200 a day is waiste of time and manpower..

    and it should be constant.. continous to make a living..

    Do you know that you are a Manpower and could earn $6000 per month as a cashier of USA bank or java programmer?

    Waiste of manpower is a big crime worldwide..false promiss and make a living from home by internet marketing ways is also a big crime growing up worldwide..

    You must get atleast $10 per hour online offline doesnt matter.. the lowest wage in USA in macdonald

    Hope you understand what my point is..

    obviously if anyone starts a blog, he/she is not gonna earn money asap....its a growing process.....Time and Patience are required and those who can withstand both are the ones who will be successful ......

    You are right. Please leave the webmaster market, you and all you phony webmasters generating spam. Therefore we can take advantage of the situation and make money in your place. :D
