Blogging 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.
The 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...<a class="user" href="http://www.infosultan.blogspot.com">http://www.infosultan.blogspot.com</a>Enjoy! :)

Om Malik is one of my online heroes... he has a newer blog, Web Worker Daily, which is not to be missed.

$11.75/month is a bit of a stretch for me to live on, but each to their own.

If you have a high enough pagerank you can make a lot selling text links.
