No need to compare your motivations with anyone. That's the great thing about it! The other nice thing is that at any time you can decide to change the directory. If you are small, you can devote more time and energy to make it more. If it's become too much, cut back. Good thoughts! Debbie Ferm I think that your blog is what you want it to be.

Pretty interesting post :) I'm kind of from the other side of this post.. however, I've gone through what you say here. I started blogging with the purpose of making money and when I was in the three figure, I was always under the pressure... although, I would say that I enjoyed it the most at that time. Now that the revenue has gone up and I've got employees to pay - the pressure of making the money has increased too. I kind of stopped enjoyed blogging as it felt more like work, that is one of the reason why I joined problogger.com where I could interact with people who enjoy blogging and thus will eventually motivate me to blog and have the same fun as I used to have back then :) Hey Bruce!

I know tons of successful bloggers who haven't made a penny (I also know people who do the complete opposite of the "Make Money Online" crowd - just write awesome blogs - and are now writing to massive audiences in national newspapers). For most of us, blogging is a hobby, sure it may not make us a fortune, but the connecting with people, improving your skills & making enough money for beer & burgers is good enough for most :) Dude. 7 year blogger, and very much a 3 figure blogger!
