blogging is one of my favourite activity now.I'm still the newbie on blogging, but I have extra spirit. Before writing on my blog I try to write in shvoong, but I have limited controll in managing my article, especially about layout and appereance.the benefit is, writing on that kind of site is simple and do not waste many time, while blogging need more concentration and extra time.sometime I also spend time to blogwalking and loose time to write.but.. I have to say.. I need to adaptation and try to manage my time well...
so far I still divide my focus to two sites to write, one is for my blog and second is for my paid site, shvoong.I know sometime it's not good to lost concentration on both site because you can decide which on is your priority.but I keep trying and compare which one is suitable for me..
If you writer or love writing, give your view about this discussion? do you prefer to write for your own blog or paid sites such as triond, shvoong, squidoo, bukisa, etc? or may be you do both? how can you divide your time?

As of now I am working on three blogs, which have not yet been released to the public. I have to say I love being able to make the site look the way I want it to, and I love the full control that comes with posting on a blog. You not only have the backbone HTML to work with but you also have the ability to arrange elements in any way you please. At this point I can say my only regret is not earning. I also know that blogs are extremely hard to earn from. Thus, this one factor along may woo me to the likes of Triond and Associated Content. I would love to make a living from my writing but I know my blogs may or may not do that.

The difference is astonishing - considering I have earned $0 on my blogs so far. ;)
I have not yet tried to attract sponsors, but that is because I am taking my sweet time. I want my blogs to optimum in content, age, and looks before I enter the playing field. Taking my time now will help get an age over competitors later.
Good luck with your blogging venture! It would be great if you could make your blogging dream a concrete reality! :D

I prefer both, sure posting my own blog is fun but there are no guarantee that anyone will even see it without tons of promoting effort and there are definitely no guarantees that you'll be paid from a blog
yeah I enjoy posting in my own blog but paid forums make it more worthwhile to stick with it, also paid forums like this one gives us a chance to help others and share our experiences a blog can't quite beat that, but blogs are nice too though in my opinion blogs are really hard to earn from, but if your a member of a good paid forum like this one you'll surely earn for your effort so both are cool but paid forums seem more worth while.

Simple I just choose to focus my energy on things that have given me results, instead of wasting my time and effort on blogs, sure I still blog now and then but after I realized that blogging alone wasn't going to be enough I kept my blog, but moved on to more worthwhile sites and programs like this one.

I can relate to having multiple earning sites I deal with at least 5 and it's not easy but thankfully this site only requires a few post a day and the other sites only require a few minutes a day, so it's not as difficult especially if you prioritize in fact I'm about to drop some other sites due to lack of payment and too much effort needed, but mylots a keeper as well as the 4 other sites.

focus to certain sites where we can earn more is good idea.some people can't concentrate their mind to several earn site, and the result is can't earn maximum for all sites.that's really wasting time.for now I have three priority sites to earn, blog, mylot and shvoong.I hope I can handle them and earn better everytime.what's site become your priority?

So far, I have been writing on the paid sites only, writing articles, short stories, reviews, commentaries, and so on. Well, that has been keeping me quite busy. I have not started blogging yet. I'd like to, and for that I have to learn how to go about doing that, setting up a blog site, etc.

hi, greenline, forgive me for this lately response
I've been starting writing on paid sites, but then my expectation turn to how to earn money, while n blogging, I can take money as the second or third priority because I want everyone feel so comfort with my blog and love what I've write about and everything I put into.I've been blogging for about 3 months and it's make me feel great
so, when will you plan to starting a blog?how much you can earn from your paid site?

I am thinking to start my own blogs (website)
I was able to published few poems in one paying site and now I wish to have my own site and look for other paid sites that will pay for our own blogs.
I will surely start one once I've finished few more poems and have enough files to start a website.
have a good day

I have started a blog just for earning money, and as I move on I learned that it is not as easy as it seems, then I started sharing things like I do as my hobby, mostly programming related.
But the only thing that resists me from blogging is the time required to type the things. But still I try to post some time.
