This is all great, but how do you generate and income from blogging? If is by luck like becoming a Hollywood star, you have to first be discovered? Or Simply have a gazillion followers? I’ve seen a lot of great bloggers on here and other sights with GREAT blog stories and thousands of followers, but they have not yet be discovered into stardom.
Great post though!
