- NanoStuff, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11$11.75/month is a bit of a stretch for me to live on, but each to their own.
- justinsuperstar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Enjoy it while it lasts. Which won't be too long.
- jfossboss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6In the future anyone will be able to make a living doing practically nothing. (blogging, making videos) Our concept of money will dissolve, as the price of goods drop, and the revenue from monetized video sharing sites/blogs goes up. Star Trek economy?
- skryingbreath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6That's not irony.
- gmprunner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'd do that if my blog actually got some hits, lol.
- spaulo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Om Malik is one of my online heroes... he has a newer blog, Web Worker Daily, which is not to be missed.

- Luv5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Blogging has low startup barrier and low success rate too. For every success story we read like Om Malik etc, there are 95+ people who failed in the blogging business. For the successful it is very rewarding. So, don't expect it to be immediately a star blog site. That's the reality.
Great article though. Did not know until now about the Gizmo blogs in existence. - locojones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hooray! That means more crappy news/opinion sources to spam Digg with!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It really is quite difficult to make any decent money with online content, but to me it seems more like a challenge. Currently I am making around $70 / month with my set of dinky websites, my goal being to get enough to pay my rent with them :) It's not that I don't have qualifications to doing anything else, I've worked as a programmer and Japanese translator before, but trying to gather crowds on the web has it's own attraction to it.

- jalloh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The blogosphere is growing with many implications, but nothing unusual about it.
Like any other "world" there are those who make it, those who stand and look as others make it and those who gets consumed by it (but cannot profit from it for one reason or the other).
But,hey, I like it! It has the potential to make me some c-a-s-h online and build me a loyal following.
By the way, I just launched my own blog and you are warmly welcome. Here's way to go...

Enjoy! :) - LR2_, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1If you have a high enough pagerank you can make a lot selling text links.
- headinthegame, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What's that old saying? when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro?
- UglyAmerican, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I know folks who are making hundreds of dollars a month, and there certainly is a small but significant group of people making thousands.
I think there is a future in this, and in bloggers, vloggers, podcasters, internet radio broadcasters and other new media content creators earning money doing something they truly enjoy and are passionate about.
So much so that I launched a tradeshow and conference that debuts next November in Las Vegas. www.blogworldexpo.com - kurupt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2NO WAI

- savingadvice, on 10/12/2007, -7/+5It's not only those that are well known that are doing this...I managed to do it and if I can, believe me, anyone can. It's wonderful that average people can also make a living this way.
- 7466, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I joke that I'm a Hooker
I write professional blogs, I send out links and hope that they like it and will want to find out more about the stuff I write I about... I hook them in - patience, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5More bloggers prostituting themselves.
- monergism, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Where do you get your revenue?
- tcoburn, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0lol irony - a story about blogging in a non-blog website
