Definitely not passive for me! But I guess it depends on how you treat blogging. I chose blogging over my full time “safe” job as I couldn’t manage both.

Today, I feel like I’m working as much if not harder than I used to at my previous job! I’d love to share the details of these comparisons one day.

What I like about blogging as a business is that we don’t know whether there will be a limit to the income you can potentially receive from it. Even if we’re not making that much money now… if you think of the growth and pace by which your blog and revenue grows, the hope that it will return something monetarily valuable is always enticing.

Of course, many of us wouldn’t do it unless we enjoyed the process and the fact that we get connected to so many wonderful people out here!

It’s active to get it going, but there’s a point where you might be able to farm it out to ghost writers and editors and have it bring in a passive income.

I think it’s a lot like being a landlord. It’s work, but there are ways to make it not be work if you want to pay for it. By the time you pay for it, maybe you aren’t making much money though.

Definitely active income, but while it’s not (so far) a ton, it’s a great way to make a bit of money and express yourself at the same time!
