You and me both! Over the past three years, I've cashed out of Adsense exactly three times ($100 to cashout). Good thing I'm not feeding my family on the earnings!

Agree 100%. Even I was able to figure out how to set up a blog, which is an indication that it must be slightly easier than babysitting a pet rock. Just be sure you enjoy what you're doing.

I know nothing about the credit card affiliate part of blogging. I think it would stress me out to get involved with that.
