Thanks to John Trosko for this article from the Wall Street Journal on the details of being a full-time paid blogger. Yes, you can make a living from blogging, but those who do are few and far between. Here's a sample of what you can expect:
THE HOURS: Self-employed bloggers set their own schedules. Writers of breaking-news blogs say 40- to 60-hour workweeks are the norm. To scoop his competitors, Mario Lavandeira, author of the celebrity-gossip blog PerezHilton.com, says he averages 19-hour workdays that start at 5:15 a.m.
The article also mentions that some bloggers can earn $2,000 to 10,000 per month with advertising. That never worked for me, but then I think it depends on the subject matter of your blog.



now a days there are so many opportunities in this field actually you can post the several blogs on each and every fields and you can also create your own blogs so many opportunities so you want to build your career here so most welcome in this field and you have bright future ....

If you pick up a good idea and if you put enough energy into it you will certainly do well... internet marketing is certainly one of them and particularly blogging.. one needs to think outside the square and blog about some thing of interest to the wider market... All the best and happy blogging...http://www.mitash.com
