I was enjoying your post until I hit the comment about blogging about how much you save at the grocery store and that bent my nose a little (well… not going to please everyone 100% of the time right?)… though I am going to take a step back and assume you don’t mean those of us that put a TON of work into our grocery savings blogs and try to help others save money too!
Bottom line: blogging isn’t easy no matter what your topic is!
(and yes I will still come back and read your blog)

If someone sends me one more New York Times article about some woman who makes six figures blogging, I’m going to scream.

I’ve been blogging a year and a half, and a year of that has been a daily blog. When I get 250 visitors in one day, I get totally psyched.

Blogging is a slow process based on hard work, good writing, great networking, and a bit of luck. When I tell people it’ll take them 6 months to a year to start making a little money with their blog, they look at me like I just killed their dream but come on, if it was really that easy, wouldn’t everyone have a blog?

Great post! :^)

Pretty great list. Blogging is hard. I would also add a tip for becoming an authority. Make yourself an example. Do experiments and record the results. Go email less for a month, or go vegetarian, or only pay cash, etc. They are almost always more interesting and revealing than just writing your opinion on something.

In my opinion, I think the act of blogging is the easy part. Get people to read what you wrote and come back again is hard. Getting people to click on your ads, buy your product is hard. To make any decent money from blogging requires patience and commitment. It is nowhere near as easy as a lot of people think. Omars last blog post..Tips on Ranking Well With the Search Engines
