			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have read an interesting article at The Wall Street Journal&#8217;s website written by Mark Penn titled <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124026415808636575.html#articleTabs%3Darticle" target="_blank">America&#8217;s Newest Profession: Bloggers for Hire.</a> According to Mark, there are over 20 million bloggers in USA, with 1.7 million profiting from the work, and 452,000 of those using blogging as their primary source of income. In other words, almost 2 million Americans getting paid by the post, word, or the click.<span id="more-2406"></span></p>
<p>From a problogger&#8217;s point of view, the most significant part of the article is this: &#8220;One out of three young people reports blogging, but bloggers who do it for a living successfully are only 2% of overall.&#8221;</p>
<p>Out of 20 million bloggers, only 2% can earn their living solely from blogging. In other words, most bloggers still continue to earn peanuts. The blogosphere is full of dead blogs. The main problem seems like lack of patience.</p>
<p>It is possible to earn your living from blogging but it is a lot of work and takes a long time. You can not expect a glory in the first 6 months. You can not even make significant money within the first 6 months. Rome wasn&#8217;t built in one day. You need to keep blogging every day, and build your own empire within 2-3 years period.</p>
<p>Problogging  is a long term dedication and commitment. I have already written a few articles on my own <a href="http://www.problogmentoring.com" target="_blank">problogging</a> experience. I would like to share them with you so that you may inspire from them:</p>
