So says Jason Calacanis in an email debate with Alan Meckler over at the WSJ piece, Can Bloggers Make Money?

Alan Meckler writes…

“Blogs are really diaries or microcosms of what is happening in millions of ways in daily life — ranging from special interests to business specialties to whatever. Obviously there is money to be made with blogs, but very, very few will bring in more than a few hundred dollars per year.”

I still say it’s similar to playing sports professionally. Millions do it for enjoyment, and don’t expect (or particularly want) to get anything more from it than a sense of achievement, while only a relative few take it far enough to make it their career.
