Can Bloggers Make Money?

Here’s an interesting email debate between Jason Calacanis of WeblogsINC and Alan Meckler of JupiterMedia: Can Bloggers Make Money?

Both of them made great points but I tend to agree with Jason when he said you can’t make anything if you don’t try.

Not all journalists make a living out of writing for your local newspaper once a week. Not all singers get good-paying contracts (if they even do get one), not all bands make it big, and not all models make a hefty sum and live off of it by posing in front of the camera. Heck, not even half of all nursing graduates in this country get a decent job after graduation.

You won’t really get a living off of anything if you don’t try.
