The majority of for profit blogs aren't great reading because they are constantly trying to put something new out even if they don't have anything interesting to say. I though the Coding Horror blog improved a fair bit when Jeff no longer had to rely on it for a living and just made the occasional post.
I like the idea of using a blog to build up a following which you then sell some more organised a long form content to in book/ebook form, similar to 37 signals although best results would be to not just recycle the blog content.
- mkr-hn 16y agoThat's a failure of model and motive. You can make six or more digits posting drivel, or you can make a comfortable middle-upper middle class living with a quality-focused posting schedule. I'm going for the latter with my own blog, and I try to encourage it when possible.
