I’ve been thinking about business models and blogging.
Their are only two feasible ways to make local/state blogging a decent job (in other words, not a Kos or an Eschaton).
One would be to win the powerball lottery and create a foundation that could pay for 4 or 5 full-timers out of the interest from a $30 million endowment.
The other would be to start young and go solo becoming a kind of blogging monk with no family or earthly desires.
Under the monk model online ads and/or contributions could pay for the web space.
