But I really can't see myself keeping up with a parenting blog for more than 6 months. Short attention span.

I'm perfectly able to write about topics I don't care at all for. However, this isn't how I want to spend the rest of my life. Topics I dislike can help me make money, that's for sure, but it doesn't mean I shouldn't try to earn a living from things I'm passionate about. Even when the whole world tries to discourage me by saying that "this market is too saturated and blah, blah, blah." Passion is the force that helps a blogger overcome the difficulties, after all.

If the reason is 'getting rich' then don't bother. If you expect to become a 'famous blogger' in a matter of months then don't bother. It just isn't gonna happen. My blog has been up for over three years and it's reached a status I'm quite happy with. Money wise and 'thousands of daily visitors'-wise however it still doesn't mean anything. This surely isn't caused by a lack of good articles, passion from my side or anything else. It's just the way things are. And I'm perfectly fine with that! I love my blog, writing on it, getting responses from visitors etc. It's all good. A while ago I blogged about <a href="http://www.i-marco.nl/weblog/archive/2007/12/07/get_rich_blogging_or_something" rel="nofollow">'getting rich' blogging</a>. It's all a load of hot air really. If you're passionate about something: DO start a blog. It will be great. If you're expecting to earn lots of money it's probably better to look for better / faster ways to do so.

It is said that more celebrities start their blogs on tallmingle. I think it deserves to be seen. I think start a blog is very helpful, you can gain much useful things from it.
