Back Again... Seeing Things Clearer and Darker

I haven't written for about a month, wrapped around real-life commitments and developing my Esoteric Coffeehouse blog, some freelancing work, and two newer blogs, Project: Life, and Self-Alchemy, but of whom I drafted here on Blogger.

Since my absentia, I have become older and (somewhat) wiser. I no longer believe that pigs can fly, except if you are a really exceptional one like Dumbo. I'm also considering now that much of the hype around blog money is frankly nothing more than propaganda by people who know that the prospect of fast money sells. In other words, selling illusions.

I'm not saying that there is no money into blog-making, but that depends on several factors, must of whom I am still discovering. As far as I have noticed, blog success depends on the following:
a. topic
b. ad availability
c. turnover of viewers
d. crowdiness of the market
e. demographics - the most important aspect.

The sad part to it seems to be that loyalty to a site - something that ought to be most appreciated - doesn't easily translate in money terms.

After this upbeat re-introduction, I will seek to expand more on what I have found. I don't expect people will like what I have to say - reality often doesn't draw people in. As a matter of fact, I'm no different. I am urging to be proven wrong.
