Can A Blog You Start For Fun Be A Business?

TheMardiGrasGirl on Blogging, Business, Make Money

I started my blog for fun, wondering has anyone had experience with successfully monetizing their blog that you've started as a hobby?

I am sure you can turn a hobby blog into a money making one if you put enough time and effort in and if you find the right monetization method that works for you and that dosn't annoy your regular readers.
In the moment I am doing an article series that is about making money without putting ads on your blog (less annoying for visitors). http://morebloggingsuccess.com/monetize-without-ads-introduction/
I really hope that you will be successful. If you need tips from a blogger just like you, feel free to ask me. Good luck!

People do it quite often, but its rare, and its hard. I know anyone can do it, you just have to be diligent, work hard at it, produce quality work, and work at networking and marketing.

I did. I started a business blog because I wanted to understand modern businesses and share them. Then when I tried to monetize it, everything went terribly wrong. Lack of readers, no more traffic, and worst of all, lost of investment.

I seriously think so. I know people that live off the money they make from blogs.
