Blogging

[ChadT]

I have been toying with the idea of staring a blog.   More as a passion project / creative outlet / side hustle. 

I read Leo say recently that it is very hard to be successful blogging anymore.   Something like that.  I don't remember the exact quote. 

Just curious if anyone has had any recent success with blogging, or any suggestions?   If I thought I could potentially grow a blog over a few years, into something that could generate 1k a month profit, I would find it worth pursuing.   Not sure how realistic that is?   Looking for opinions. 

It would be an opinion blog, centered around current events and politics mostly, with a little bit of lifestyle and hopefully humor, added in.  I know, tons of them out there.
