I was just wondering if there are still those who are blogging for Pleasure? I mean, all we talk about these days are ways on how to either monetize our blog or how to make money online. It would be nice to see and know bloggers who are just doing it for the mere pleasure of being able to blog. *smiles*

I do have sites that I’m looking to profit from but I also have one site that I do for pleasure (or more to the point, for personal reasons). All work and no play… Well, you know how it goes.

my cooking blog (which has been up and running for 8 months or so) is purely for pleasure. From my GoogleAnalytics stats I get between 50-120 readers for every article that I publish, so I’m not sure that it merits trying to make money out of it (yet!!). Sharing my experiences in converting from IT Consultant to Chef has already helped one or 2 people wanting to do the same thing – that’s what lights my candle more than making money out of it.

As much as I would like to monetize, I do a bit, but for the most part I blog to blog about the things I like, Doogie Style! In turn I’d like to know if you do the same?

Do you know, especially with the more ‘confessional’ (’personal’) sort of blogs, one suspects that the monetisation sort of follows on from the sincerity of the blogger: Readers can probably detect purely mercenary intentions and will give the blog a wide berth. But since our blog has only been up seven weeks, it could just be excess idealism speaking…

Oui! As I mentioned in a recent post, I blog purely for pleasure. Though the day for monetization will come eventually, I currently blog for pleasure only. And when I do begin to monetize my blog, I’ll still be blogging for pleasure. ;)

my purpose of blogging is sharing to others about little bit knowledge i have. and of course, blogging is also hard, so maybe i monetize it in the future
