Thanks! It <em>has</em> been a while. I'm glad you stopped by. Those are some great numbers. It also seems like the more you make, the easier it is to make more money. Once you break into the four-figures monthly blog income, it starts to really sound significant. Thanks for commenting and I hope to see you around here more often! Hi Gary. Thanks!

Things look great Ray. As for the whole blogging vs income topic, it sorta goes along the same lines as the "is a blogger a journalist" line. It is what it is for each and every blogger. As for substantial income, that too varies. For me, I see substantial as being the amount of income one needs to blog full time. In the past year, I've had ups and downs ranging from $200 a month to $700 a month. Once we can get things consistently in the $1500 a month mark, I'll take it full time as the growth will be exponential then. It’s been a while since I’ve popped in and commented at FB.

I disagree that it can't be profitable blogging for money as your primary purpose. I don't see any reason why it can't be the same as any other business. I don't program computers because I love it and am passionate about it. I do it because I'm good at it and it pays the bills. On the flip side, if you're passionate about your blogging then it can be much easier to make money from it. But, let me dispel a myth for everyone: just because you're passionate about your blogging doesn't mean you'll ever make more than pennies from it. Most people who make significant money from blogging do so with a combination of passion, running it like a business, and yes, luck. Thanks for commenting! Hey OOM.
