It took me two years of blogging to get to my income goal ($36,000 USD/year) where I could focus on blogging full time (in 2004). Saying you want to be a full-time blogger is great. To meet your monthly income goal you’d need to publish about eight sponsored posts per month, which may be more than you’re comfortable with.
