What is blogging for you? A job, a hobby, or a combination of both?

So many mom bloggers are in different phases of blogging. Some are brand-new to blogging and consider it a hobby. Other moms have been blogging for years and now consider it a hybrid between a hobby and a job. And some mom bloggers approach their blogs strictly from a business point of view.

What is blogging for you? A job, a hobby, or a combination of both?

Definitely both a hobby and something , I would eventually like to use for business. I'm very new to this so I'm not there yet.

For me it's definitely both. I blog as a hobby to document all of the wonderful things my twins do in their day-to-day lives, but I also blog as an Internet Marketer... keeping tabs on my journey, providing SEO tips, writing motivational posts to help others in the industry of Internet Marketing.

I have to say it's much more fun to blog about my twins, but I feel fortunate that I am enjoying the best of both worlds. :)

Blogging is turning into more than a hobby for me. I am hoping to be able to turn it into more of a job very soon. I have been blogging for a while now but only recently really started getting serious about the whole thing.

Definately a hobby right now. But possibly a hybrid paying job. Being a new blogger I am not quite there yet!

Blogging for me is more of an interest, and it allows me to develop my writing skills. I try to keep a schedule and write things that other new mothers would enjoy reading. Perhaps it will turn into a platform for traffic to my business (not yet up and running yet) one day, but for now I blog to keep myself productive (giving myself deadlines, etc.) while I'm a stay-at-home-mom. I suppose it's also an outlet for my creativity, and I hope to bring my art there eventually...

Blogging is a hobby for me that I would love to turn in a job so that I can work from home and still spend quality time with my child. I have been thinking about doing it for six months and I finally decided that I would take the plunge and try it. I love it. I can not wait to get up in the morning and spend time on the site and I can not wait to get in bed at night so I can get to the site.

A little bit of both. Though I'm not making any money just yet, I'm using it for marketing purposes for my soon to open online gift shop!

a Business. although I've been blogging since 2009. I started out making about $.33/day! blogging takes a tremendous amount of time and dedication. believe in yourself and you can turn it into something quite profitable. for me it is also a luxury to be able to stay home with my kids.
