The Christian Science Monitor looks at how ad platforms, such as Google’s AdSense, are helping the average blogger make a little extra cash.
“People can participate in the economy in ways that were once unimaginable. Not just moonlighting, but serious money,” says Mr. Tapscott. In the past, writers, musicians, and videomakers needed to prove themselves as “home-run hitters” in order to get distributed and earn significant money. “Now, bunters and single-hitters have a chance to make a living,” he says.
While very few can quit their day job and live off the money they make from blogging, many avid bloggers are finding their passion might just provide something more than just satisfaction in having their voice heard.

I saw this article about a month ago and was inspired to start a blog. Its tougher than it looks to really drive traffic, but over the last couple of days it has really taken off. Unfortunately, after I graduate from school I will probably have to get a day job. Ughhhhh!
