Comments on: $100,000 - $1 million an hour? http://www.webpublishingblog.com/100000-1-million-an-hour.htm Internet publishing, a multidisciplinary approach.

I have some sites that are "quick money" sites, and some that I consider to be long term investments. I won't realize any profit from the the long term investment sites for a few years, but I expect the payoff to be considerable eventually. Regarding blogs, I think they're one of the least effective way to make a living online. However, it is often easier to produce quality content on a blog you are interested in as opposed to some site that is a $ generator. It all depends upon your resources and personality, I suppose.

Just ask Weblogs Inc. While I've plastered my name on this blog I could easily have someone else update it with the latest news, or guests write articles. 20 years from now my name could mean as much as Betty Crocker (who actually never was a real person.)

Sure, I want my sites to be known, but I would never leverage my own name to get them there. One of the key things about running a real, sustainable business is to set your business up so it doesn't rely on you. If Oprah stops doing her show, for example, her biggest source of income (I assume) dries up. Oprah and Howard Stern are the exception, not the rule that young entreprenuers who want that "easy $100,000 five years from now" should follow. Structure your web publishing operations so that you can walk away and the business doesn't suffer. Peter T Davis explains this better and relates it to blogging here: http://www.petertdavis.net/150-blogs-are-not-a-business/ I do agree that you shouldn't sell out now (or ever), but you shouldn't make yourself central either.
