My goal with blogging is to free up more time, not spend more time. @Angel - Shoemoney is a perfect example...that AdSense check he is famous for was earned on a cell phone site that had nothing to do with his blog. Blogs are great as funnels or branding tools. @ Anne, I agree completely. My goal with blogging is to free up more time, not spend more time.

For me yes, but if a blogger concentrate on a single blog alone the answer is no. Although John Wu's blog is worth $15M, I think that blogging alone is not his only source of income. Blogging can only be sustainable if you use your blog to promote your business, or attract sites where you can write for them. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Angel Cualas last blog post..<a href="http://fatherblogger.com/2008/10/12/6-heartbreaking-reasons-why-we-are-not-making-good-money-out-of-blogging/" rel="nofollow">6 Heartbreaking Reasons why we are not making Good Money out of Blogging</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> Is blogging sustainable?

And producing that much quality content would be torture. I think for most, blogging probably is not sustainable income. There are exceptions, of course.

Blogging can be a powerful marketing and branding tool, but you've got to have direction and purpose. Without that, you are just blogging to survive. Exactly!

As such, the blog becomes another professional and marketing tool. So, the theory goes that good blog content could grab the attention of potential clients, publishers, corporations that might see the need to use the blogger as a expert consultant or advocate, etc... But, in the end it's about quality, isn't it? Right! so you are talking about using blogs as a platform for a blogger to establish him/herself as an expert in whatever field.

Blogging as a branding process is different, in my opinion, than blogging to be a blogger. @Dan…What I mean is that if you plan on using your blog as a permanent source of income, then your readers are going to expect good content, often.
