Chris garret has just launched a blogging survey and if you answer it you can win his new book, coauthored with Darren Rowse ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income.
The book alone is a great reason to join us and contribute to the survey, but actually there are better reasons. Blogging is a recent and interdisciplinary profession and not a lot of people understand this professional side.
On one hand you tell your family you run a blog and they think you have an online journal, on the other hand people that regard a professional side on blogging start “make money online” blogs with strategies that are as good as the ones to get rich by collecting underpants.
Blogging professionaly is neither easy nor a guaranteed road to get rich, and I predict many blogs will shut down in the future and a lot of frustrated will be generated. The best way to avoid this is having a clear picture on your mind before you start and as you go.
Nothing better than a serious survey to help on that. And if nothing of this appeals to you, hey, don’t you want to win the book and learn how to become a 6-figure blogger?

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve cut back on the number of blogs that I follow, so I would have missed this survey otherwise.
@Aaron Stroud - You are welcome!
Thanks for the trackback, it was a nice surprise and I enjoy what you are writing here very much.
I agree, a clear picture is essential or you will not realize the full potential of your blog. It also requires tuning as you move along.

@Brett Legree - Hi, it’s my pleasure.
I had to link to your post since I find myself using that analogy for all kind of strategies with a missing part. South park really made a point on that episode.
I read a bunch of books like that one, IM not rich yet, but IM sure some day I will succeed.
