I was just interested, do you blog for money or just because? you are allowing the world to read your daily thoughts or is it all about the money for you?

Well I have always enjoyed blogging because it is fun to express my opinions to the world and not to mention it gives me something to do. But now that I have found this site I have to say that I am going to enjoy blogging a lot more since I can actually make money for stuff that I already do!

I do both. I have 3 different blogs. One is personal, 1 is to make money, and one is just for fun.

Now I got a freelance job moderating a blog. I will be posting on it and promoting it. I will be doing some linking so be sure to check out my discussions. May run some contests.

I blog for fun. My husband started a website for my son so we can post things that are happening in his life for his family in New Zealand to see. I often post stuff about him attending school, what we have been up to, our travels and things like that and my family love it.

I would have to say that for me, it is both. Before I found this paying site, I was not able to blog. But, at the same time, this is really just pocket change. So, I would say that the money is a small incentive to keep me going. Luckily, all I have ever needed is a small incentive to keep me interested in something.

that is great about online. if you are lucky enough to find just a few sites that are willing to give you small incentives once you put them all together at the end of the month, you got yourself a nice bit of change

For me blogging is one of my hobbies. So, it is an interest first the reason I blog. There is nothing wrong to make some money out of it, but if it was not someting I enjoy doing, I wouldn't have chosen blogging.

I used to blog for nothing mostly because I didn't believe bloguing for money would work. Finally I found a good blogging community which brings now a little money : 40 to 60$ per month (after a few months of patience) that's not a lot but very rewarding when you didn't make a dime until then :)

i think blogging should be more like a personal journey and if you can make some money from that then great if not then it is good just to get some things off your chest

I'm blogging out of interest, I have recently started setting up a blog I hope to regain some pennies but I'm not blogging for money as such. I want to be able have fun in the process, if this gets me some cash then cool if not oh well. ~Joey

When I first signed on it was all about the money, but now I actually enjoy responding to other mylot discussions and posting ones of my own. It's a bonus if I make minimum payout each month nowadays - its every two months for me now.

i would say that it was a combination of both money and fun although the former is of more importance... but so far i havent been successful in my blogs..both in terms of money and also fun... now i have almost gave up on this...

i just see so many blogs about money and products but i don't see to many blogs about the person themselves. so i was just wondering how it was going for people

I blog for fun, telling all my thoughts and things about me and my life at times, but if it's for money.. doing both is just fine. Blog for money and for yourself.

I like it and that's why I'm doing it. I put passion for this first. Not necessary to be rewarded. I don't mind being rewarded, and I'd do it anyway.

Blogging is an outlet for me that I don't have elsewhere. I write a poker blog. I love poker and would love to write about it professionally, but my current job doesn't give me that opportunity. It's more a passion. I would love to make money off of it, but I am not complaining if I don't. I just love going to stat site everyday and seeing that I got more hits than the day before.

I have no blog, but I am searching for a good site for it. Perhaps in german, because I am a german. If I earned money with my blog ... it is ok, but it is not the first thing I want to make a blog. I want to let all people know about my hobby (Poser), my pictures what I make with these program, my doggie and so on.
