I have pretty limited access to the network right now, but thought I would link to a funny but insightful post by uber blogger Kottke that reports on his fund raising results to support himself as a full-time blogger. The graph on the front page is instructional for bloggers aspiring to support a career solely through blogging … Kottke reports he was clearly able to break the "Ramen noodle" barrier, which is as reported by Kottke, "the point at which I could each something besides ramen noodles for every meal". He wasn’t quite able to make his comfort zone of 1/3 pre-blogging salary …
For those that eat two Ramen noodle meals per say, that’s like a budget of $0.50 per day, right?
Amazing how a brand like Ramen can not only describe a near bottom-end point of one’s sustainable lifestyle but also be a widespread loved food and tasty snack.
In other fund raising news over the weekend, Joshua Schachter reports more on the investors in del.icio.us.
