The Stress & Press
I get stressed now when I haven't posted anything on my blog for a few days so I don't even want to know what stress level I'd have if I knew it meant losing money.
Takes The Fun Out Of It
I've turned most of my hobbies, like jewelry making, into a money earning way. Don't get me wrong I still love to sit down and make jewelry but it isn't the same as before. Now it feels like you're working and moment when you sit to "just do it" becomes very few if any. So leaving the blog in safety.
My Mental Health
If I would work from home more than having an office to go to I would spend it at home in my PJ's never going outside the door unless I really had to. Meaning I would go back to isolating myself losing years of "work with yourself" work.
What do you think of earning money through your blog?
Something for you or not?
Nah, It's not my cup of tea. As you mentioned, the stress wouldn't be worth it. And also; who the fuck would want to read my blog? It's so boring and uneventful! I mostly write in my blog for me, not really thinking about the fact that people can read it. I blog because I want to be able to look back in a few years, to see what was going on in my life right now :)
ReplyDeleteSame here :) It's already a great way when you're alll "How did I celebrate -insert holiday here* last year?" and stuff xD I might consider it being like part time in the future :)
DeleteJag skulle gärna tjäna lite pengar på min blogg med tanke på att jag har 0 inkomst :D
ReplyDeleteHehe det förstår jag! :P
DeleteI'm wrestling with these very questions right now on my blog. Thanks for writing this! Glad I'm not the only one! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy you like it! Sometimes if does feel your alone with it hehe which is why I decided to write a post :) You see lots of "How to earn money with your blog" posts but none of these ^^
DeleteThis is so interesting! Blogging isn't my job but I do earn a bit of money from it. It's really interesting to read another perspective on it.
ReplyDeleteHappy you think so! I love reading about people who earn money and why. As you said it's interesting to read another perspective :)
DeleteNej skulle inte heller vilja tjänar pengar på min blogg.
ReplyDeleteKänns som pressen blir så konstigt stor då :O
DeleteDet är inte många kronor jag tjänar på min blogg och jag lägger inte så mycket tid på det heller. Det är inte målet med min blogg.
ReplyDeleteNågra extra pengar är ju aldrig fel! ^^ Samma här :) Mitt mål involverar inte pengar på långa vägar ^^
DeleteUgh, I need to follow you! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteI don't earn money from my blog, because I value my independence and integrity. Because, I mean, how seriously can you take a paid-for product review? Not very.
Haha, thank you that's so sweet!
DeleteTrue, very true! I do value blogs who does reviews and are 100% honest if they don't like it on the other hand :)

I don't want to earn money for something that's clearly just a hobby for me :D I think that work is for work & in life you're going to need hobbies :D

Know how you feel! I've turned most hobbies to money as I said above and it does add more stress into your life taking the charm and fun out of it. My blog is my diary and that's that :D
