Can my Addiction to Blogging Generate Full Time Income?

That's the question I'm pondering.  I love blogging, have a lot of blogs and post a lot - hence the "Prolific" blogger title.  Blogging is my favorite thing to do and is even therapeutic.

But I'm also a newbie. So, for me it's going to take a long time. Breaking income goals into bite size pieces helps me view it more as a possibility.

Problogger emphasizes "blogging for money is neither quick nor is it easy money." Wise words everyone should heed!

In my opinion, that's where a lot of people will drop off. Too many people are looking for quick and easy money (a fantasy that doesn't realistically exist). 

He notes "I didn’t achieve this milestone until I’d been blogging for over 2 years (I blogged for the first year without trying to make money)."

I'm encouraged because one of my strengths is that I have a great deal of perseverance and I don't expect anything to be quick and easy.  I've cultivated this strength by sticking with my Uppercase Living Decor business despite numerous failures and mistakes while watching lots of people fall by the wayside.  I'm my own worst skeptic and this proves to ME that I can do it.

What do you think? Can addiction to blogging help someone eventually earn a living wage?
