Not everything need be "monetized". We live in a capitalist society and unfortunately there can be the general feeling that everything has a price. I totally agree.

The good news is if you blog selflessly then the rewards and opportunities do come if you want them, the key is to give first :) I am glad there are still people who blog for the pleasure of it.

Blogging has opened my mind to a lot of new perspectives on certain issues regarding politics and life also. I'd say that the non monetary gains from blogging exceed the monetary ones greatly.

" I have been thinking the same thing. I even came across an article recently which basically said personal blogs were a waste of time because they were unlikely to make money. I feel that the writer of that article is seriously missing the point. Blogging can/should be fun, it's a great way to meet new people, and for anyone who enjoys writing, blogging is often the main or only reward necessary. “but it gets me down than so much emphasis in blogging is on the money side now. ”

I think with some coaching and optimization, every good blogger can make a decent living from blogging. However, if money is the only thing the blogger cares about, pretty soon he or she will burn out. Well said Chris.
