The blogger had written that he’d made $1500 on a blog flip, and the commenter figured this represented “only” $25 per hour (it turned out to be more like $70 per hour).

I think it’s great the blogger made $70 per hour instead of $25, but what would have been so wrong if he’d only made the lower figure? It’s almost like making “only” $25 is something to be looked down on. The really funny thing is the commenter was an admitted newbie. I wonder if he really thinks that $70 or more is the norm, and anything less is not worth pursuing. Isn’t $25 per hour pretty good, especially when you’re just getting started?

Think about it – if you work 20 hours per week for “only” $25 per hour, that’s $26,000 a year for a frickin’ PART TIME JOB. Doing something that is so much fun that many wouldn’t even consider it work. Likely TAX FREE. Why is that something to be looked down on?
