Becoming a Full-Time Blogger

London Beauty Queen, a delightful beauty blogger, tells it like it is when it comes to full-time blogging.

Here's an excerpt I found particularly useful:

You Have To LOVE It I hear a lot of bloggers saying "I'd really like to run the site full time eventually," but to do it effectively you have to live and breathe your site. It's hard work, it's never ending and there's no such thing as a day off - but if you really, truly, 100% love your site and what you do then you'll inevitably make a huge success of it. However, if you're doing it just to get a few extra hours in bed because you hate Mondays, then you won't get very far. Success comes with dedication, blood, sweat and often tears - but I wouldn't change it for anything.

This is absolutely, positively, TRUE. If you don't love it and don't work it and don't put your time and heart and soul into it... you'll have a blog, but you won't have a business. And there IS a huge difference.

Here's more of what LBQ has to say about making a go of full-time blogging.
