Jonathan, I love your idea of creating massive value, and delivering it without the reader having to pay. It’s brilliant!

I agree! There's nothing wrong with creating valuable content and making some money at the same time. Creating free content and getting compensated for it go hand-in-hand. That's what keeps the free stuff coming.

Bloggers are investing their time to inform us about things happening around us, so they have every right to make money from their blogs.

It’s a great point, I just wish people would understand that although bloggers do love what they do, they still need to pay the bills. Brilliant rant!

Jonathan,

Excellent comments. As a fellow blogger who hopes to make this world a better place through my blogging, but also make an honest living- Forward thinking is essential on many levels.
Perhaps Aldous Huxley said it best with this:
The vast majority of human beings dislike and even dread all notions with which they are not familiar. Hence it comes about that at their first appearance, innovators have always been derided as fools and madmen.

Thank you for your insights and contributions.
Keep up the good work!

Lori

Very well said Jonathan.

What’s up with people who want everything for free and they don’t see the value. Don’t you worry about those whiners, keep doing what you are doing, providing excellent content and lifting up our spirits.

Keep it up pal,
