The one problem I've had with this is that you need to be a good consumer. I've seen some bloggers who are always talking about the latest gadget they bought, or "thing" or "experience" that they purchased, but honestly, I am a terrible consumer. I rarely buy things outside of the necessities of food/gas/rent/etc. I buy a new computer every 5+ years. I don't eat out much. I am the anti-consumer. Which makes it hard to monetize the things I love, because many of them can't be purchased with dollars. Pete
