Is Blogging Your Life?

No doubt you’re here because you are a blogger or you read a heck of a lot of blogs, but to many blogging is a way of life, some eat, drink and sleep blogging!

I can say that I’m fairly guilty of been a bit of a blog-a-holic and usually when I’m out and about if I see something interesting I usually think to myself “Now that would make an interesting blog post” and jot something down on a notepad ready for a future post.

Blazing MindsMany can say that blogging is not just about the money! Hell I make hardly anything from my blogging, well I make a bit, but I’m not going in to that ;) I find blogging fun and interesting and over the years that I have been doing it, I’ve met, online, some wonderful fellow bloggers and the majority have stayed as loyal readers and commentators on my humble bloggy.

I have seen many blogs over the years start with the intent of been THE blog, but have fallen by the wayside due to either lack of inspiration or enthusiasm to keep the blog alive. Mainly down to the time constraints, other commitments or the simple lack of posts and only one coming up once in a blue moon.

So remember bloggers and new bloggers, blogging can be a full time job, so don’t just start blogging because everyone else is doing it, start a blog that you know you are willing to commit to….

    Is Blogging my life ? Well I know blogging has changed my life.
    In terms of commitment that is probably bloggers biggest adversary persistence :) Making it enjoying like you do and I try to do is key.
    I also avoid time restraints and am no longer a stat checker or google search monster I just keep moving forward sometimes quickly sometimes slowly but our goals will always materialize if we work for them :)

    Blogging has sparked a new career for me in the web development field. If not with blogging, I wouldn’t have known many things I never knew. It’s been a great journey and I’m a fan and will continue doing so.

    Most new bloggers haven’t a clue how complicated it actually is to take your blog to the next level. There may be millions of blogs but there are only maybe hundreds of really great ones.

    The fast way is to find those who have already done what you want to accomplish next and ASK THEM “what now”. The bloggers in our SBC private blog collaboration will assist on request. If anyone wants info or to get in ask me.

    JOHN: I see a box for CommentLuv below the box where I’m typing this BUT it has Loup Dargent joined the group Here’s MY BLOG as the only post to pick?

    • Karen @Blazing Minds says:

      Thanks for the comment Gail, I know a few bloggers that after a short while say to me “What can I do with my blog now?!” ;)
