Make Money Blogging/Growing Orchids

People always ask me how to make money blogging.

Somehow I doubt people ask orchid experts how to make money growing orchids.

I'll bet far more people make a lot of money growing orchids than blogging, and Seth Godin seems to agree.

Sure, people make money growing orchids. Some people probably get rich growing orchids. Not many though. And my guess is that the people who do make money gardening probably didn't set out to do so.

Blogging is much the same way. The best bloggers make money, but mostly as a side effect, not as a direct result of setting out to use a blog to make a profit. It's just too long a ramp up time, too frustrating and too uncertain to be the best path to make a living.

I like the way you put it. So money is not the main thing in blogging? And the money earned is the ripple effects from blogging? :D
