Insufficient Personality Cult
Professional blogger throws in the towel, by Graeme Wearden
Jason Kottke, a Web designer who quit his job to run his blog full-time, has abandoned his plan to make a living through blogging after exactly one year … Kottke revealed that he had raised a total of $39,900 from 1,450 donors.
If Kottke lived in Beijing instead of Brooklyn, he could survive for many years on forty grand. When he started the micropayment campaign I thought, yeah, he might be able to raise enough money to survive one year, but the real trick will be raising enough money to survive the next year.
