While I agree with most posters (content farms are bad; sounds like a great way to kill a hobby) - I thought the post was a nice shortlist of how to build an audience and options for monetizing - and while the tone is a tad optimistic - it does manage to indicate that it likely is a lot of work.

Could do with some better proof-reading.

I'm also a bit surprised about:

> 6. Without a doubt, Wordpress is the best option for a quick and easy setup.

> Your domain/hosting provider will likely have some sort of installer for Wordpress available in the backend (Softaculous, usually) which will do it for you.

Why not recommend (paid) hosting on WordPress.com?

Self-managing WordPress (properly) is a lot of work, and with the poor quality of plug-ins almost impossible to do in a somewhat secure manner?

Anyone familiar and up to date with (hosted) wordpress/ghost/netliftcms vs self-hosted WordPress?
