Hello Brit - Kind of sounds like there are more than a few ways to make money in the blogging, podcasting, affiliate marketing and other writing fields. I have read quite a few stories of those who have become "successful". And I need to add, that medium provides a wonderful garden from which we can gather incredible harvests - but all depending on our ability to "learn and Implement". Thank you for stressing that. I have found that I need to be "whacked" on the side of the head a couple of times before I do what should have been common sense. I look forward to hearing more from you...............Zidor
