Average pay for writing isn't that high.

I think an angle you should focus on is that technical blogs are a means to develop technical careers. Most blogs don't make money or don't make much money.

But if you have a skill, like programming, that can command an excellent wage or salary, a blog can help you learn your craft, show your expertise and network. However, you will need to back that up with real world examples, not just hypotheticals.

That's the way to avoid being thought of as "Someone getting rich telling people to buy my book about how to get rich" when that's your entire schtick.
