Blogging for a living

Now it is hard to blog alone for a living without any other work on the side. Luckily, I work in a home office for a friend in his sports surfacing business with weekly travels or sometimes fortnightly travels to Kuala Lumpur. I used to get thousands per month just by blogging and this had increased my savings quite considerably. But alas, the opportunities are no longer there and you even have to bid for a pittance. Therefore, one cannot take things for granted and assume that opportunities will always be there. The economy changes, the website may no longer be profitable with fewer clients, the server may be down constantly or being hacked, etc.
