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?

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.

Blogging is a release. Blogging is never a job and always fun. I never feel obligated to do it, because I simply enjoy it too much. Blogging is a place to organize my thoughts and find others who have the same thoughts, those who can respond. I absolutely adore blogging.

My blogs are a part of me, a source of income, a marketing tool...a way of life! :)

Blogging for me is a way to express my thoughts, a marketing tool and a hobby. I wouldn't consider it a job because it's something I like to do not have to do.

Before 2006, I had no inkling what blogging was about. Can you imagine, I started blog for political reasons. to make a difference in my country. To make waves. How cool (or hot) is that? I was an editor with a newspaper (which i joined since 1978) but left in 2006 for personal/professional reasons. I immediately joined my family media consultant company. Then something happened. A close friend (a blogger) was sued by the very newspaper for which i had worked. A libel suit. For me -- how could a newspaper sue a blogger -- to me a blogger is a writer? Newspapers get sued but they do not sue, as a matter of principle. So, that was when my life as a blogger began. But blogging opened up a whole new vista for me. A whole new world where I connected with the world. Literally.

Still a passion. I don;t do it for money. But the recognition I get as a blogger is and can be overwhelming.

A hobby, I enjoy doing it very much. It is also a form of therapy and a way to relax, while hopefully carrying a message to those who have similar experiences. :)

A combination. I am really enjoying trying to add a post per day. I find it so therapeutic to consistently write down my thoughts. I have recently added two adsense units and might add individual advertisers in the future.
