Full-time blogger Kottke throws in the towel

Boy, based on this mention below one might think that making a living exclusively on blogging is not possible. You know, I would have to agree that it would be amazingly difficult, that’s for sure.

Jason Kottke, a Web designer who quit his job to run his blog full time, has abandoned his plan to make a living through blogging after exactly one year.

Kottke announced on Wednesday that he is no longer seeking payments from people who enjoy his blog, Kottke.org. He said he hasn’t managed to attract enough readers or developed “a sufficient cult of personality” to support the subscription model.

He also explained that he wasn’t able to keep providing the time and energy needed to make his blog successful enough. Source: ZDNet
