If your work can be replaced by anybody with a blog the moment you ask for money, maybe you're just not creating something that is special enough to be monetized.
To be fair, a lot of existing media are in that situation right now too. It's why for example gaming magazines and strategy guides mostly died out; perfectly adequate (and often better) equivalents are available for free online. Same with a lot of other hobby magazines and what not. They don't offer anyone someone with a blog can't provide, and mostly only made money because it was difficult to get things published.
