Passion drives you to write, and necessity drives you to earn money, and somewhere in the middle it all just sort of clicks together and happens! It's great when you reach that place.

Too many people have a limited mindset- hoping to make money by traffic alone, or writing in hopes of making money. It has to be a balance. It's also not an overnight process, which a lot of new bloggers forget. You have to develop great content, have a good looking design, try different avenues for monetizing, and then hopefully make some money. If that doesn't work, test and don't give up! There are so many abandoned blogs out there from those looking to turn an instant profit. If it were that easy, everyone would be a John Chow or a Shoemoney. Great post Lisa!
