blogging for millions? you can't do that single-handed. I don't think those are one man show. It SOUND easy but its not.

Who says it sounds easy?

Of course its not easy, it probably requires more then full-time 40 hours job.

Besides just blogging - you have to spend time, money and energy on SEO, link development, promotion, advertising, etc.
