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.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
