If you have a blog and have self-published books, you're a self-published writer.
If you have a blog and make money, you're a blogger.
If you have a blog and don't make money, you're a naive blogger.
If you have a blog but don't have an audience besides your buddies, you should just send them all emails instead and eliminate the pretense. |
If you have a blog and have less than 10 visitors a day, you are 99% of all Wordpress users who try to "hit it big" with blogging.
