I know I am on the right track. When I first started out blogging it was with the expectation of making money . .....wow did I have the cart before the horse. Now it is all "About the Master's Business" and being a servant of His. I am so grateful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that He has entrusted me in the ministry on and off line!
Blogging does have several benefits, getting paid is one, but like you said once you stop giving that one benefit so much attention and stress everything will start to pay off.
Yes, you should focus on perfecting one thing at a time and not just on earning big money. Blogging is about good quality content on whatever topic you choose, so it's best to concentrate on that first.
I guess God uses all our reasons for doing things and makes them work out to achieve His purpose in the end. And also, for our good as well :) I don't doubt that one bit.
Blogging is definitely a new world for me as I started blogging this year. And at times I find it hard to keep on blogging but when I remember the reason and purposes for blogging, God can use it so much more than I had ever imagined and that's what I am believing for with my blog.
I am also so grateful that God has allowed me to be able to use this avenue as a way of reaching out to the rest of the world and try to help girls who have experienced similar struggles as I have!
I just love your response Samijo! God will use you in whatever you do because you reverence Him and you are NOT all wrapped up with " what's in it for me"?
Being a blogger makes you feel better, because you contributing some thing to the world. You can proud yourself, I think it worth far more than the financial gains.
I think most when start jumps straight to the money making part first after a few good posts but yeah befoe doing that you need to put time and effort in it to help it grow become noticed however sometimes by then you still can't make money from it 8S

Yes, blogging is for fun and making money is just an output of learning so whenever you earn money blogging still just do it for fun and sharing not just tricking.

I would lie if I said I wouldn't want to make any money on my blogging - but I am enjoying blogging itself and I want to improve my photography skills etc and if I can ever earn any money, than it would be a cherry on top!
Don't get me wrong, I would lie too Alina,if I was to say I was not interested in earning money by blogging.
Just starting to monetize my blog, but most importantly just having fun.
Me personally, I dont get a single Dime from my blog. I use it to share my knowledge and let my page views as a way of being paid.
Hit it up and follow my Journey in Mogadishu, Somalia, The worlds most dangerous Country! trying to lose that title!

I like the way you phrased that and I can agree. For me, an interesting and insightful comment from a brand new reader is worth more than somebody clicking a link and putting 10p in my bank account.
I haven't really given monetizing my blog much thought. It's a blog about retro food and old cookbooks. It's my hobby! I have adsense but I don't really make it an issue. I just have fun doing this. It's a step outside of my comfort zone to put my work out there like I do.
I am new as blogger and setup 2 blogs but i have very low traffic so i even can not think about money (lolz). But I still try hard to share my things, well you can suggest me to improve my blogs:

In the end, I just sit back and write. I put up some ads, just to see what would happen, but I'm not expecting anything. Its all about enjoying the writing, and hoping others enjoy reading.
