BTW, I love the name of your blog Tena.

My blog is fairly new compared to hers but I see that perhaps if I stay focused and do some research then it just might work.

I’m glad I’ve been able to help you find some ways to earn money with your writing skills. Stick with it! It’s so worth it in the long run.

Thank you for yet another blog post full of information that I can use in my burgeoning online endeavors. I’ve been reading you for a couple of months, and you’ve inspired me to get on board with eHow, Suite 101 and Demand (I currently write for all 3 sites).

I just launched my new online magazine, 21 Months (http://21months.com), and although I know it will take several months to even begin to see the fruits of my labor on both 21 Months and the freelance writing sites, your blog posts continue to inspire me.

Thanks again!

While I admire Dooce’s success and would love to earn $40,000 a month, her writing style and mine are vastly different.

I make it a habit of reviewing all successful blogs (Problogger is another one I spend time studying). It doesn’t make sense to me to review, study, analyze and duplicate unsuccessful ones. I decide which attributes of each blog might work for me and leave other attributes alone.

My intent isn’t to follow in her footsteps and copy her success. There’s only room enough for one Dooce and one No Job for Mom on the internet. She has her style and I mine. I’ve nurtured this blog for too long to drop ship and take on her style.

When I reach $40,000 a month in income, my journey to success will look quite different from her journey.
