But I think there has to be a certain balance between treating it as a chore and as a hobby. Once that balance is made, the work will come out easier and better produced than ever. I agree.

That way you don't mind to spend a lot of time working on your blog and you have lots of motivation! You definitely will see this back in your monthly revenue, I mean passion and making money goes often together.

Really, it's great if you can make your living out of the things you like to do! If you like blogging and you make money online with your blog, it means that you can be preoccupated with your hobby all day long, and have a good income also. This idea is driving me crazy!

Most people can not afford to spend huge amounts of time on a "hobby" blog that makes no money. Just because you can write endlessly or with passion about something doesn't mean it will automatically make you money. This is fine if it is only a hobby but when you're trying to make a living ROI is key.

I'm finally getting started myself.

Its fantastic, I now get to spend more time at home relaxing and with my kids. I do still ahve the odd obsessive moment where I jump on the laptop though.

I always believe one should try our best to find out what career best fits us by linking it to our Hobby ;-) So that whilst we're doing it (working in a job) as a career, we're actually enjoying ourselves! It's always great to be able to earn money doing what we like... I think that way, everyday could be a pleasure instead of pressure! Anyway, if we're doing something just to earn money, even if we get to make a good living, if it's not something we enjoy, then we're probably just being a slave to money and not enjoying what we do most of the time since we'll definitely need to put lots of time in our job-especially if it earns us good money! Ultimately, we might not be able to maintain our interest to keep it going.. Hence, try to find a job that you treat like a hobby ;-) Great article!
