Not all bloggers want to make money, but many do. If blogging for money is part of your financial plan, or if you just want a chuckle, then you may appreciate this cartoon which I encountered at My Two Dollars. It was just too adorable to pass up. Thanks David, I hope you don’t mind my reprinting your find here! With enthusiastic permission, republished from Internet Duct Tape:

Not at all!
On a semi related side note. It seems as though we are on the blogging bubble. Soon it will available revenue will be spread so thin, that it will be extremely tough to make any money without being extraordinary.
Full-time blogging stint? That’s a crazy idea.
Happy Rock has a point. I’d like to become a freelance writer eventually, on the side. And I see my blog as practice. Also perhaps a chance to get my work out there.
I wonder about associated content, too, and how it plans to keep going. But maybe it’ll last as long as people are regularly blogging.
@the happy rock
If that’s true, its a very good job its only my hobby in that case.
@SVB – That’s just too funny.
@The Happy Rock – nah, the competition will be so tough everyone has to advertise to be found
Hopefully the day that the advertising revenue dry up is long ways away!
My comment would be exactly what Mrs. Micah said. I view “writing” not “blogging” as a long-term revenue proposition. Don’t get me wrong, because I love blogging – but my site would have to attract Steve Pavlina-like numbers to replace my salary (I live in the hyperinflated NYC market). I am convinced it will – I like my blog
– but it may take a while. Like MoneyNing said, I hope I get some before it’s all gone…!
I guess we can look at it this way, as time goes on, there could be more sites and more blogs but there will also be more online users. Hopefully there will be advertising that follows this growth in web users, even though it’s spread around more blogs/sites as well.
Oh, if it were that simple. The truth is that if you put the work in, it can be done. While special skills help, being the best at everything isn’t necessary. What is is a lot of determination and stubborness not to quit, but to keep doing what you love to do.
Blogging is my hobby and it’s just a bonus if I earn some money off of it.
SVB,
If one includes the “cents,” getting to six figures happens a lot faster
LOL. I guess, technically, that is correct. I’ll go out on a limb and say that this probably occurs more often than many people realize.
I’m with PinoyTech, blogging is just bonus money for me.
This might be the single greatest blogging comic I’ve ever seen in my life.
rofls.
“Master of teh internetz!!!11oneoneeleven.”
Brilliant.
nice one … a little deceiving , but funny
LOL, that’s great! If that’s the case, then I’m doing pretty well with my online earning already.

Thanks for the nice post. I find this very amusing!
Hehe, funny stuff dude. Enjoyed it, although I think its better to earn a living online. It’s passive money you know…. well sort of anyway :p
