Yeah, that is certainly one way to do it. Same idea as link exchanges. When the interactions are more *personal* and not just an anonymous exchange of money, then the results are probably better. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with hiring a writer if you can afford it. But establishing a connection with someone and building off that connection through your blogs feels more genuine.

There are plenty of other kinds of mutual compensation beyond just paying somebody.

Sure, I myself offer to guest blog on other people’s web sites in exchange for them blogging on my own sites. It is an arrangement that has worked well for the most part. And I find that I somehow get better results from people that I have paid in services instead of money. Keep It SEO Simples last blog post..Wikiweblog Covers The World

I spend less than 2 hours a day and make money from my blog, a few hundred USD. Considering the conversion rate, it’s enough to cover for my petrol and food for the entire month.

Every other $$$ I need comes from my business That’s where I spend most of my time on…….. for now.

I just read an interesting article about outsourcing and virtual assistance over at John Chow. With the popular methods of using virtual assistance I could see you working only 2 hours. But, you have to get a really good one or sometimes just more work for you to go back and clean up all there mess. So, this could be possible I guess!

I think that once you get established that 2 hours a day would keep the blog going. but getting started needs as much time as you can really. I don’t think a new blog would get that far in 2 hours a day.

I honestly believe in hard work and can you really work 2 hours even if your working extremely hard and busting tail. That’s not much time to complete such task that a blogger needs and especially task that have already been stated on this blog such as the following:

blog commenting
blog posts
blogsphere – making contacts, adding friends, etc

I admit, that I spend next to zero time as a blogger. It is a hobby that I hope will take off in the future. It is fun and a great way to relieve stress and get your thoughts organized. Cash flow from it will be nice though when it happens! The Almost Millionaires last blog post..Where Is Your Cash In An Emergency?

I read this article upon your recommendation and it is really good. I want to be a blogger within the next 12 months who can literally just work 2 hours per day. This way I can spend more time with family and friends and doing things that are really important to me. This will be even more important when I start having kids.

I personally think 2 hours a day for a blogging 'job' is not sufficient, especially if you were to make it your main income. Like Franklin's other post, "5 Reasons Why I Comment on 36 Different Blogs", bloggers tend to have tendencies to be updated about news across the blogosphere. Just by reading other blogs and commentating on other blogs, it would have taken up at least 1.5 or even 2 hours every day. Unless, of course, you shut yourself from the rest of the blog world, and just persistently write about happenings in your personal life and don't care whether you have any traffic at all, hehe.
