Great article, I just decided to start a new blog, not sure if it is about something I could call a hobby. I was wondering should I move the information I have written on my regular blog over or maybe rewrite it.

Good write-up.I strongly agree with depression’s word.If we use blogging just to make money,we won’t get any success in that.So we should share good content with people.So that we can make money from that.Thanks for sharing.Keep it up.Keep posting.

If we use blogging just to make money, we will not get any success in that but if we use it share good content with people, we can make money from that.

I also wanted to mention that since finding your blog about blogging I’m excited about being able to take my blog to a whole new level.

I started a blog based on my hobby of rubber stamping and scrapbooking 3 years ago simply because I wanted to be able to share my passion for creating cards, gifts and scrapbook albums. At that time I had no intention of trying to build it into a business. However, as my blog readership grew, I started to see income-generating possibilities. As of 2008 I would consider my “hobby” blog ( http://www.andreawalford.com) to be my full time business and have managed to generate a six-figure income with it that continues to grow.

I started my blog(s) sort based on my hobby. I used to collect gif image files that were interesting to me and built a huge archive of these. I looked around a little bit and only found a few competitors out there and thought it would make an interesting blog. Need to supply more content for SEO, but I’m getting better.

Had a lot more girl gifs so I also made :)

Emily,
If nothing else, you may want to put adsense on it and just see what happens. Then you could put affiliate links (amazon, shopzilla, etc) for products that are helping you. Email me and I’ll help you in any way I can. The advice is free and it’s probably worth what you paid for it :)

Blogging and dieting are similar–you gotta be very stubborn to see results :)

I agree 100% and the internet is so huge that it’s got room for all of us.

I am pretty darn curious about the poll on in the sidebar! Over 1800 people come here and don’t have a blog. Those are only the people that decided to participate in the poll as well.

Darren, I wondered if you had any thoughts on that? Perhaps you’ve written about it already somewhere or you’re wondering the same thing. I know that it’s not going unnoticed though. It’s actually one of the things that I noticed recently as I’ve been building up my new project to help 1000 people before 2010 and take action.

I wonder if there is a reason they are not starting a blog but visiting this blog. Is it preparation, or perfectionists? People researching for school projects that don’t blog?

Something to think about
