Blogs will always be a niche. Which doesn't mean won't be viable. The casualness of a blog gives one the impression of 'mass' but the ease and casualness of having a blog will also make it, always, a niche. I may be wrong but I don't think so. We'll see. Btw Amit of India Uncut is right. For bloggers to make money, people have to be ready to part with it, more trustingly. A blog, though, is a great place to showcase the writing you'd like to do on a daily basis for a living but cannot because what you'd like to do is rarely what you're paid to do, often. Thank you.
