I dabble in a lot of things online. I quit my job from fulltime to one day a week this past may to do webstuff f/t.

Anyways.
When I first met my husband - he was so against internet stuff it was...horrible.
-sigh-

But he's come around now that I make a lot of money with it. Well. A lot for us. Not compared to you others

However - he still hasn't come around to the idea of Blogging. He hit the roof when we were dating and he found out I had a blog. Granted it was a personal blog where I would talk about whatever I was thinking, feeling etc., and sometimes that would mention him - but still. I don't think he needed to go so far as to outright ban blogging - just say not to talk about him. Thats fair I would think?

Anyways - I havent blogged in over a few years now. But I'm seeing monetized blogs - plus there are people I talk to regularly - that are always asking if I have a blog - and - I miss it.

I'm thinking of trying to push the idea again - Hoping to go at the monetized blog angle - and definately not a personal blog - but more like an industry blog? I'm involved in a few and I'd like to be able to talk about various projects, ideas etc., Just for my own personal - tracking.

I'm rambling.

Basically - If I push the idea of a monetized blog - do you think I still have a chance to get into that "field" and make some kind of money off of it? Is there room?

I don't want to push it - and then not follow through and show something for the trouble - he'll take it away from me again

ps - yes he's computer illiterate.

I think a blog is a must for any serious web entreprenuer. I think it is a simple way to be seen and gobbled up by the SEs.

A blog is a great tool when doing business online, and I would really recommend it. Your blog can become a great resource for both you and your visitors if you blog right and fill it with good content.

Yeah, it would also be particularly interesting to have a blog of a female web entrepeneur. Hope you follow through with it.

There's always place for more. Of course the later you join the harder you have to work in order to get to the top ones, but it all depends on how much effort you're willing to put into the considered blog daily, and i say [i]daily[i] cause that what really differs blogs from static sites, blogs have to be mantained daily.

I'll reiterate most comments of people in EF that search engines just love blogs! So why not take the chance?

Goodness, if my beloved would ban me from blogging, I'll ban him from seeing me! Haha kidding! How bout explaining it to him that it's an income generator? With the looks of it, you are earning alot and you might just be capable for blogging!

Toodles!
