Really appreciated your thoughts on monetization, Scott. Would I like to make money from my blog? Well, sure, but I'm not convinced I enjoy the process that goes along with the business. One also has to ask how much time they want to spend on the monetization scheme--consulting is great, but really time intensive.

Enjoyed!

James Roche talks about the entrepreneurs path. Needs to be adapted for blogging but the idea is getting good at what you do as a way to get to know the market, then you know what products to make and so on.

Well worth interviewing him I think.
