Er, $1200/year x 20 years x 12% is only about $100K. That still isn't bad, but it's not a million. $1M is 40 years at the same rate. Good thought, though, and the power of compound interest is something everyone should know about.

This thread has great information for me as well. I'm figuring out how to make a living writing, and the bum marketing method and other links listed here definitely helped me figure out how to monetize my blog. Thank you!
