Come this June, I will have been blogging for 3 yrs. It hasn't paid off for me financially, but blogging has helped me to get in touch with my inner child. It's something I like to do whether I'm paid or not. Maybe one day my ship will dock at shore, but until then I'll just keep treading water in my inflatable tube. I think your being an expat. is quite fascinating. Keep up the good work! :) <abbr><em>Suzy´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.savvysuzy.com/2009/05/22/remembrance/" rel="nofollow">Forget-Me-Nots</a></abbr></em> Hi Kelly,

I'm in the process of turning my hobbies into a full-time job, but it does take some time. Congrats to you, though for doing what you love and turning it into a full-time job! I think something important to add to this list is patience and perseverance. You have to be patient as you first start out, there's things to learn and the money isn't immediate. Perseverance comes in when it seems like you won't make it, you refuse to back down. Like Matt said, a good many blogger's don't make it past their 6 months mark. Keeping the passion alive takes patience and perseverance. Great stuff! <abbr><em>Kristy @ Master Your Card´s last blog post..<a href="http://masteryourcard.com/blog/2009/05/21/i-want-to-be-a-ceo-when-i-grow-up/" rel="nofollow">I Want To Be A CEO When I Grow Up</a></abbr></em> I love this post.

You deserve every bit of this success, I am so happy for you. I wish you a lot of satisfaction at your new job. I have IT qualifications and they helped me a lot with getting Baby-log going, as I could do a lot of technical stuff myself and didn't have to pay for it. I certainly love blogging and think that I'm good at it - maybe in time money will follow. Anyway, really glad you're doing so well! <abbr><em>Emma @ Baby-log.com´s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Baby-log/~3/v_Tw4VUMy8g/" rel="nofollow">Before And After the Baby</a></abbr></em> Hi Kelly,
