...There's someone named Jack besides Jack? ;-)<br /><br />Crazy me, I have plans to start a second blog, one that is more oriented to the work I do (lots of WordPress-oriented posts, coding and design and SEO).<br /><br />In general in life, if you can find a way making money doing something you enjoy, that is so great!Leorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303493764579879710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-22666165151620724712009-08-27T23:43:10.255-07:002009-08-27T23:43:10.255-07:00Jack,

For a long time it was nothing more than a hobby for me. And then when I started making millions of dollars it turned into a job.<br /><br />Daganev,<br /><br />It is a subjective call, how long a blog has to sit before it is abandoned that is. But you make a good point about how long it can hang out for.<br /><br />Chaviva,<br /><br />Since '98, that is quite a run. Very impressive, not easy to keep things going for that long.Jack Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625864271071630940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-11673530150967363842009-08-24T17:30:04.205-07:002009-08-24T17:30:04.205-07:00I started writing online (via LiveJournal) in 1998...I started writing online (via LiveJournal) in 1998. I moved to Blogger in March 2006, and I'm still going strong. For me, it's mostly passion. I'd love to be able to make money off the blog, but I'm not going to force it. <br /><br />I'm amazed at how many blogs disappear ... wowzah.Chaviva Gordon-Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332712096317076482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-54047214256605044782009-08-24T17:12:22.893-07:002009-08-24T17:12:22.893-07:00Interesting that 4 months is considered "aban...Interesting that 4 months is considered "abandoned" when the blogs will exist for years presumably.<br /><br />Sometimes a person just sees a blog as an easy way to put some information up, and doesn't necessarily want the blog to be anything more than a book people can easily comment on or link to.Daganevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022014644525719560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-9478864316018344772009-08-24T16:48:54.203-07:002009-08-24T16:48:54.203-07:00I made a decsision early on that I would not think...I made a decsision early on that I would not think of my blog as a money maker but as a hobby. This means zero ads because, really, who wants to see them cluttering up the page? <br /><br />Consenquently, my blogging is fun. I write when i want what i want to. It could be I'll write sometimes more frequently, could be I'll drop a post once a month. <br /><br />Hence, I've been able to keep it going since '06.Jacob Da Jewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181930948956094882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7082887.post-41258898189100519322009-08-24T12:07:22.451-07:002009-08-24T12:07:22.451-07:00I agree with you that most of us won't make a ...I agree with you that most of us won't make a fortune out of blogging.
