Andy Hagans (whose blog makeovers I enjoy reading to pick up tips!) wrote at Performancing that the people involved in building Blog networks are getting frustrated, voicing back and being very self defensive about criticisms being thrown their way.

Everyone wants to be “Blog Overlord” nowadays, controlling and building a diverse network of Blogs all in the pursuit of the almighty dollar! If you are an Amateur Blogger looking to step into the world of generating revenue from your Blog, do yourself a favour and rein it in a little bit. The fact is that most Bloggers make insignificant amounts of revenue and enjoy it purely as its own activity!

It’s not unlike the gold rushes of old; where the success of the few, when widely publicized becomes the desires of many. But if you are like the minority of people that are in it solely for the money, you’re not a true AmBlogger anyways. I can only hope that at least one out of the many Blogs that you will spawn will meet some success enough for you to keep at it! Good luck!
