All the computers on my LAN have coffee names. There's a reason.

If you don't love what you do, you can't possibly survive. Because –as you point out — the odds of doing well are pretty long. Better have a well-developed taste for your topic and strong coffee.

I do think that for a lot of people the question really is 'can it be done at all,' but you are probably right that asking' what it takes' is the more interesting question here.

To do this to make a living, you probably have to a) spend a lot more time on it b) push advertising a lot harder c) network more online and offline
(conferences etc.) d) come up with great content 24/7 e) have a whole lot of luck (and there is probably a lot more others can think of) – or be hired by the big guys… basically, I would continue what I do, but I would have to at least quadruple my efforts and probably lose the sense of joy I have in doing this in the process.

I should probably think about this a bit more – maybe I will write another post about it after I get some more caffeine into my system
