Being a Blogger

I was reading a post on MSN about a blogger why she disappeared for some time. I didn't read it all but I read how it was time consuming, and personal health/family issue, etc.

I like to blog for fun and when I have free time but I know being a full-time professional blogger isn't easy. You have to put so much time and effort into it and sometimes readers don't even realize (like how long does it take to type?). As a "blogger" myself, it does take up a lot of time. I always have to think of stuff to post, when to post it, what song should I put with it, etc. I also read my posts over and over again, making sure it sounds ok (grammar isn't my thing, this is not English class, my worst subject by the way). I'm not sure what other bloggers do but I'm guessing something similar to what I do?

Sometimes it's hard to think of stuff to post. Like me, I always run out of ideas. It's hard because not everyone blogs every weekday. Maybe I should make some changes too. How about Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays? I'll think about it.

Good thing I post about everything and anything. I find it very hard to blog when you just focus on one particular topic. For example, if people are blogging about beauty only, they have to try so much different products and keep with the beauty trend. I mean there are tons of beauty products out on the market to blog non stop about but do people really want to try that much products on their skin? Like what if you get some kind of allergic reaction from the products and it takes you forever to heal from it? I wouldn't want that. I like trying new products but not that much since my skin always have problems...

I've always wanted to ask full time bloggers, how much money can they actually make from it? Is it even enough to make a living? I guess it depends how popular they are? Obviously, if it's someone like me, blogging for a living (I don't get paid, just for fun), I'll probably be living on the streets by now LOL!

I just want to say being a blogger isn't easy. =)

Random moment, love S Club 7.
S Club 7 - Bring It All Back
"Don't stop, never give up

Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you

Hold on to what you try to be
Your individuality
When the world is on your shoulders
Just smile and let it go

If people try to put you down
Just walk on by don't turn around
You only have to answer to yourself

Don't you know it's true what they say
That life, it ain't easy
But your time's coming around
So don't you stop tryin'

Dream of falling in love

Try not to worry 'bout a thing
Enjoy the good times life can bring
Keep it all inside you
Gotta let the feelings show

You never should be lonely
When time is on your side

Things are sent to try you

Things happen for a reason"
