I would definitely blog no matter what. It’s fun and I enjoy it. I think my total earnings from my blog is like…3 cents. I just enjoy posting, looking around for more ideas, and holding experiments.

My blog is fairly new. I guess I’m in the “launch” phase still. There’s a lot of bugs to work out, but it’s going pretty smoothly.

money can always be made through blogs or any other website just because of the supply and demand of advertising… how much you can make totally depends on how hard you are willing to work to get your site up there

Hi Moshin! Great questions. Here are my answers:

1. Do I blog for money? You bet. I even named one of my blogs something to that effect.

2. Would I stop blogging if I wasn’t making money? No, but I’d certainly blog less. Running a blog (or 5, in my case) takes time and effort away from other pursuits. Earning an income in return makes it possible for me to justify the amount of time I spend online.

3. What phase am I in? I’ve been blogging for 5+ years on one of my domains where I’m a rambler. My other four are more topically-focused, though. Oddly enough, the rambling one is the biggest money-generator. Go figure.

4. Do I plan to keep blogging no matter what? Well, if I win the lottery you can bet I’ll cut down on posting frequency. Otherwise, yes, I plan to continue blogging but I can foresee the demise of at least one of my current blogs, if only so I can concentrate my efforts on the others.

It may seem like a a strange question, but do you really blog for money?

That’s not a strange question at all. And my answer would be “more or less.”

Will you stop blogging if you don’t make money with your blog?

That’s unlikely to happen. I have several blogs that have never earned me a single penny and still I keep them alive. The only blogs I’ve ever closed were a few experimental ones.

Do you make money blogging?

From time to time, yes, I do. Not by selling ads, though. Basically, my blogs help me get paid writing gigs. This is how I make money from them: by using them as portfolios. There’s also a not so obvious benefit: by blogging I develop several abilities, stablish myself as a reliable professional and network with others. This all can be used to get future projects going.

What phase are you in?

Not sure.

How long have you been blogging?

I can’t remember exactly when I started. It’s been several years ago, when a friend persuaded me to open an account at LiveJournal.

Do you plan to keep on blogging no matter what?

Hmmm… that’s a tricky one. I could say “yes” now and change my mind later. I really don’t think I’ll give up blogging because there are so many advantages to keeping a blog. But if I start a project that eventually becomes a huge success and doesn’t involve the use of a blog as a tool, then I may have to close my blogs and fully concentrate my efforts on that project.

I started blogging about 3 years ago. It was first just an outlet, a way to express my thoughts, feeling and passions. I had a period when I did make some money with the blog (reviews, ads and the sort). Then I moved to a more professional blogging style, while trying to preserve my personal approach. I still run some ads and am in some affiliate programs, but that is just something on the side, not the goal and not my reason to blog.

Hi Mohsin
I just found your blog and it’s interesting that you have a blog like the one in my signature – one which doesn’t make money (well, hardly any), but, as yours talks about how to blog, mine talks about the ‘make money online’ niche and people who do make money (or say they do…).

I do make money from blogging, but mainly adult blogs (I have over 200 of them) and they make me a reasonable (but not fantastic) living. The trouble is, I much prefer writing for the blog which doesn’t make me money and that’s kinda contrary…

I have several blogs and honestly speaking I don’t blog for money. not because I haven’t made anything, but because I’m not even try to sell links, articles or banners on my blogs. I only blog because its a hobby for me
