For example, perhaps if you would have written a Book instead of launching a Blog, you could be making $400k/month for example.
You would have to sell over a million books per year to archieve that figure.
Worldwide how many non-fiction authors sell that money books? Ten? Twenty?

You also have to take into account the amount of time that a book needs to be marketed. Tim Ferries for example made a blog to market his book.

I'm seeing blog authors doing the "Best of ___________" thing. WOuld it not be more effective to ONLY have BEST OF posts on your website (even if it no longer qualifies as a BLOG then), and then drive traffic and present those articles only? OR better yet, to put them together into a cohesive eBook or Printed book?
Most blog authors don't know at the time they write a post whether that post will be one of their bests. They need the feedback from their audience to determine which blog posts are the best.
