Controversy is Good for Traffic and Income at Blogs

I have been blogging for money (I will explain what I mean by this in a moment) for almost 5 years.

I consider myself a professional blogger. By that I mean I pay my sizable Silicon Valley mortgage through income earned from blogging.

The resourceful reader can easily enough look up my address and go to Zillow or some other such site to find out how much I owe on my house and subsequently how much money that means.

Blogging income is the primary source of income for my family of three – wife, Mia Mei, and me. This means I pay MORE than my mortgage.

Blogging for money. This does not mean money is my primary purpose in life. Good golly no. Nor does it mean that blogging for money is the only reason I blog. It means that in future posts, I will tell readers how to blog if they want to make money at it.
