Jason: I was asking about affiliate income from blog or podcast. From what I’m learning, a blog in and of itself is not normally a huge income producer. Usually, you need to have a product or service to drive income from the blog it seems. So, thinking this through, if I wanted a blog / podcast on Entrepreneurship for children, I really need to have a DVD / curriculum or something to sell. Or have an affiliate connection where I’m getting 50% of the price of an e-book and getting huge amounts of traffic.

Alan: Should I start a newsletter or a podcast?

Sam: I’m thinking about creating a site with some concepts similar to Mignon’s (Grammar Girl) and really like her idea of creating fictional characters so that if authors change, subscribers are not put off by the change. I also like the caricatures she has for each of her subject matters areas as well. If I do something similar, would there be any legal (or moral) violation in doing so? For instance, if I had a Grammar Guy, Money Lad, or Adventure Queen (I don’t have any of these – they are just examples), etc. would that be too much of a rip-off of her idea? Any quick ideas on how I could implement something like this without ripping that off? If not, would it be legally problematic if I did use that model (as long as I didn’t use any of her existing names)? Do you see any unforeseen consequences in doing so?

Tony: Do you think I should use one twitter ID for everything, or separate for different endeavors like my job?
