Oh, and she told me that if a blogger starts to charge for their content, he’s a greedy, money-grubbing Scrooge. I’m sure there are bloggers out there charging for their content who ARE shameless money-grubbers, but that is by no means the rule. That wasn’t my mother. That was everyone on the internet. I always get them confused.

Comments Policy A blog is about interaction more than it is about broadcasting. From this level up, I think you could update your comment policy. Email Strategy A good part of your interaction will be hidden from your blog. Namely, you will be contacted directly, most of the time by email. It’s natural, don’t be upset.

I believe anyone who can build an audience for their blog in the first place can also offer paid content successfully.
