Actually, my idol in this blogging world is Pete Cashmore of mashable, who's making about $200,000/month. awesome!

My entry into blogging was a total fluke (I assume for many it happened much the same way). Things have happened that have convinced me to keep at it. Fun things mainly and I truly enjoy it. Frankly, I never ever thought I would blog (I am sure that has also been said before). I don't have plans. Not sure if I will be doing it for a long time etc. etc. But right now I am doing it and loving it. It is rewarding in many ways which on occasion comes in the form of the usual goodie bag or reviewed product to keep, but quite often (in my short lived "blogland" experience) I just enjoy sharing my experience with others. I am keenly aware of how "tight" MarComm budgets like to seem when dealing with anyone who "advertises" because I work with those same budgets on a daily basis, but if you are confident enough that your experience as a blogger has a dollar value then go ahead and ask for your due. That is what most people in business do every day and in some cases you get paid and in others they will pass. Sure, If down the road I pull in $22k a day I am sure it will only make this experience that much more fun, but as you point out - I'm not counting on it. I couldn't agree more.

Much less making a living. Heck, I'd be happy earning enough to pay for my hosting costs. Much less making a living.

People who create good content and develop a following will learn to get compensated and will be pleasantly surprised.

Chris, I assume that a combination of skills, timing, luck etc. have earned you social media guru status for which you are apparently well compensated. Kudos.

Some will get there slowly, some will get there quickly and others will never make it.

But what do I know… I'm just the new kid :-)
