True, but isn't it like Medical school/residency? front loaded work but reward (readers, buncha thank you emails and ofcourse financial reward in 3-4 yerrs?) I see no difference. Start slow, make regular posts, engage users and see where it goes.
Hey Whitecoat, when did you decide to monetize the blog? did you use user numbers as a confidence booster to start adsensing? also how the heck can one approach sponsors? do the sponsors email you or you after them (chicken or the egg??). You can PM me if you like, would love to hear your thoughts how to get started and build/engage audience: btw, I have 2-3 niches I am thinking and they are all NON-finance (think you got the finance thing pretty well covered on the internets and I don't see any other physician blogger coming close to your success in this niche of yours).
I love WCI blog, the dude is a beast no doubt.
I am a radiologist btw, on shift type of work so I think I can associate with ER physicians in terms of time off to get this going.
Thanks in advance WCI!
