I tend to lose interest in those sorts of things way too quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216992 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:39:50 +0000 daniellemybelle 216992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to write, and I love the Internet/social media, so totally! But I would not want to blog about myself or my family. Bloggers, particularly successful ones, face so much scrutiny and you are so exposed to anyone and everyone. I would struggle with that. Also, so many blogs are not profitable, despite the best intentions and hard work. I like knowing I will get a paycheck if I do my job :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216628 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 16:07:17 +0000 Mrs. Train 216628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe, when my kids go to school. I might have to take some writing classes. My grammar is a little rusty. I've been told I should write a book too but I just don't even know where to start. For now I will just stick to my personal blog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216624 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 15:54:36 +0000 Modern Daisy 216624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, because I wouldn't want to put myself out there and I don't like the idea of never being able to go on vacation. I have the option of working from home with my current job and when I"m gone for a week (or two) I just put on my out of office contacts and forget about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216612 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 15:34:54 +0000 Mommy Finger 216612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would it pay the bills? Absolutely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216368 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 12:31:22 +0000 SugarplumsMom 216368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no! It would stress me out and take the fun out of writing things down for me. But I totally admire bloggers. I love browsing blogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216349 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 12:20:36 +0000 jennylynn 216349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd love it. I enjoy writing, and I find it to be very therapeutic for me to get my thoughts out, even if no one is reading. I think I'd struggle sometimes with what to blog about to keep people interested, but I'd love to be able to stay home and make my own hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216148 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 10:33:25 +0000 Boogs 216148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I was a better writer and/or enjoyed writing more I would consider it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216131 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 10:22:16 +0000 MrsTiz 216131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutley! I would give up anything to be a stay-at-home-ANYTHING!<br /> I love blogs, and would love to have one of my own. I wouldn't really want to have this kind of blog, more of a personal one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216128 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 10:20:42 +0000 edelweiss 216128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>parts of it sound really attractive, but i can't even keep up with my little blog right now so i can't imagine all the work it takes to become a successful professional blogger. hats off to you and mrs. bee! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216081 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:45:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 216081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love it. I love writing. I have a hard time with consistency though. I struggle to update often. Like @Grace said, I have been on vacation for three weeks and haven't updated my blog once! But I think those types of things take much practice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216073 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:40:00 +0000 Maysprout 216073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the flexibility and ability to take ownership of the site content is awesome. </p> <p>However, writer's block for me is terrible. In grad school (before LO) when I had grants or my thesis to write I'd end up going out to party a lot more than normal to get my mind away from writing. My thoughts are a jumble so it takes a lot of effort and editing to untangle them to write a story others can also follow. If I somehow found my 'voice' and writing came more easily than it does now then maybe it would be a great job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216067 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:32:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 216067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but I'm not a blogger to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216065 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:32:10 +0000 MsMamaBear 216065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! I wouldn't be able to keep up with it. I had a personal blog that went to the wayside when Baby Bear was born.LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216063 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:31:33 +0000 autumnlove 216063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't have anything interesting to say! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216062 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:30:30 +0000 chopsuey 216062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NoPe! I don't think I'd enjoy it so much if it was my job.. I like blogging for fun when I feel like it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216053 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:25:39 +0000 ladyfingers 216053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, yes, yes. I love to write (it's what I already do for a living), and I would love to work from home. I do love my job and my office/company, though. It's kind of a "pipe dream" thing. I wouldn't even know where to start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216047 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:20:44 +0000 DillonLion 216047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to do it, if whatever income from the blog could just be extra and we didn't require it to live off of. Trying to make a living off of it would probably tarnish my blog and make it less authentic, which I wouldn't want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216022 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:04:13 +0000 Minnie_Girl 216022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a work from home writer/editor, so it wouldn't be much different from what I already do. I find work to be SO much more gratifying when all your efforts have the potential to improve your success, and you're not locked into a paycheck. </p> <p>While blogs are fun and I've enjoyed writing them before, I do like having a finished product eventually! The blog would have to be something that revolves around a bigger goal, like child rearing or home improvement, for me to stay interested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-216019 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 09:01:59 +0000 stiffaknee 216019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I doubt it. First because, despite my best efforts, I can't keep up with my own personal blog and second, because I like security. If you're relying on a blog for your income, you're also relying on keeping advertisers happy and maintaining a certain level of readership...and you have to worry about health insurance and all kinds of risk that comes with running your own business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-215963 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 08:06:06 +0000 mrsjyw 215963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Too much work, time, effort. The flexibility is tempting, but I think it's a really hard endeavor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-215959 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 07:56:59 +0000 twodoghouse 215959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not. I'm one of those people who constantly worries about what other people think of me. I think it would be very hard for me to put my entire life out there for everyone else to view/judge. I know some people can shrug off the critics or just not car what others think, but I'm not that way at all.</p> <p>Also, the weeks when my current job is all creative (graphic design) when I'm working on a big project, I come home feeling absolutely exhausted. I can't imagine the pressure that comes along with generating new (and exciting, entertaining) content every single day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-215955 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 07:52:24 +0000 mrbee 215955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: Yah it depends on what you're blogging about, and how much traffic your site gets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-215950 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 07:46:38 +0000 Rubies 215950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely. It is an ambition of mine to figure out a real focus and find a way to make it a career. But I wonder if I'm just not that creative or savvy enough on the net. I'm not much of a photographer or DIY-er. I just like to write. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-215946 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 07:39:22 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 215946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yes. The flexibility would more than make up for any pressure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-215938 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 07:29:50 +0000 Grace 215938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd love it. It would be such a switch from what I'm doing now. I'd have to find something to blog about though!</p> <p>FWIW, I follow blogs where people go on vacation. Seems like they just have all the blog posts ready to go and they either publish them on the road, or there's some sort of "autopublish" feature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-215936 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 07:28:02 +0000 heffalump 215936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea because I've never blogged. But I would love to work from home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-215933 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 07:26:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 215933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, because I don't blog. I bet it would be challenging to stay interesting since there are so many blogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-215901 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 06:32:50 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 215901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the extra hours would be worth it when you saw how the effort directly impacted the success of your business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-want-to-be-a-professional-blogger#post-215843 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 23:13:58 +0000 matador84 215843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure I would love it. I'm a homebody. </p>
