Q&A: How realistic is it to make money by writing articles or blogging on the internet from home?

Question by razzledazzleem: How realistic is it to make money by writing articles or blogging on the internet from home?
It seems like the internet is where it’s at. I studied Computer Information and Film/Video at school, but I’m not too shabby with a keyboard when it comes to writing interesting stuff. Does anyone know of anyone (aside from Drudge and Arianna Huffington) who has been able to make a few bucks by blogging on a site from home?

I have made money blogging. I made some money with Adsense when my site was smaller, but I stopped using them because I only made $ 100 a month. Now I offer direct ad sales on my blog, and I sell monthly text links on some blogs for $ 10 per PageRank. Example: PR4 blog earns $ 40 per month per text link.
