Chris from Performacing.com wrote ten great and very realistic tips for all who would like to make a living out of blogging.
- Don’t have any illusions about it being your sole income until you see evidence in your bank account.
- Diversify, do not rely on one blog or one income stream.
- Choose your niches carefully.
- Experiment with formats, layout and article types.
- Analyse your traffic and do more of what works.
- Market yourself and your blog, write killer headlines, linkbait.
- Network network network - a good portion of success comes from who you know.
- Consider a paying gig as well as your own blogs.
- Join a team or a network if you feel you haven’t got all necessary skills but can write.
- Keep at it, the rewards take a while to arrive so it takes stamina.

Jamsi - I know your post and like Chris I was also inspired by it. It’s sad to hear those kind of stories.
I think no. 1 from the list above should be read over and over and over,… again.

Very useful tips here.
Blogging is for fun, but ir rapidly becomes like… a job!
I have several blogs now, and it is very difficult to manage.

Yes, it takes time and knowledge to create a good blog which can attract free traffic. But nowadays with tools such as RSS to blog Builder you can manage hundreds of blogs on autopilot.
