Kimberly Palmer at US News has published some nice tips on blogging based on opinions of other successful bloggers.

2. Stick to a nice but widen your focus – “Instead of picking a niche like diet tips, where there’s only so much you can write, instead pick a general way of looking at life or an area of interest that you’re passionate about.”

You may want to bring down that 100k requirement a bit but useful advice otherwise. The story is in two parts – a) How to earn from blogs and b) How much do bloggers make.
