hell no.... i just blog for the hell of it anyhow...just for fun

54degrees that's cool. Just trying to gauge where people are at. No hard sell here! That would be a big mistake.

Many people try to monetize a blog and it doesn't go very well. A real business has a better shot.

you branding is good anyway because I know of your gateway blogging

thanks.

there are so many scams and garbage out there. Doing something real makes a big diff over any "shortcut." There are no shortcuts.

I had a friend who got into robotics. I was like, "dude! we should make little robots and sell them!"

he said no

he said: "I liked computers until I was a sysadmin."

maybe someday but for now just enjoying the community.

Boyo - good point, tho running a biz is a far cry from being a sysadmin.

that aspect is different.

great thing about most analogies. some things different, some things the same

point still stands. if you love doing something, and you want to make money doing it....

make sure you'll still love it when it becomes the job.

a lot of people who don't like their jobs actually like what they /do/. they just don't like the environmental factors around it

management BS, pressure to meet deadlines and quotas, etc.

some people's hobbies are more *work* than their jobs. but they are more fun because they aren't a job.

well said! I've been out of plurk for a while but wanted to acknowledge your comments -- very well said.
