Matt, Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I guess my dry sense of humor seeps out every once in a while. I quite agree with you, I don’t see why anyone would seriously consider purchasing a blog. Indeed, I think you get my drift. But hey, I’m not one to turn down cash.

You had me going for a second there, you rotter. I only come to this blog to see what you have written in it. As with so many blogs the blogger and the blog are indivisible.

Drivebybanjo, Thanks for stopping by. Nice blog by the way.

Jennifer, It’s good to know why you blog and have defined your goals. The reasons people burn-out is because of false expectations. I appreciate the heart you put into your writing.

Kelly, One day I’m going to see you on Oprah talking about Kellementology and how you are helping people to learn “the science of grasping life by the short hairs”. This new wave of philosophy published in your bestselling new book will be changing peoples lives for the better as they become more self-actualized. In the mean time, keep picking up those pennies. You are right they do add up.

So true, Phil. So true. You’re ahead of me, because I’ve never even gotten a click. I can now picture myself standing at a busy intersection with a ratty cardboard sign that states, “Will write for clicks.”

I do clean up annually with the coinage I find on the ground, however. No one seems to be interested in collecting pennies any longer. They do add up.

LOL!

You are so funny! I’m right with you on this! The whole thing is nonsense to me!

I’m wondering how many people actually make a decent living off a blog… I doubt it is even one percent!

For me, blogging is about fun, learning, sharing ideas, connecting with others… and just adding a little speck of goodness to the world!

You are great Phil!

Dave, Thanks for the comment. I’m amazed at how much folks buy into the online hype. No doubt some folks have effectively monetized their blogs and I in no way criticize them for it. It’s just that I hate to see people caught-up in false expectations and effectively do more advertising for the companies than any real return for themselves.

Phil,
Bravo! Well said sir.
That “How Much Is Your Blog Worth?” widget has had me scratching my head for sometime now. You have really captured the essence of this, and I’m certain others will agree!
