What a great guest speaker we had last week. Lori was not only informative, but also very interesting. Although the subject of her blog was not particularly relevant for me (my children are grown) I found that her experience and insight into blogging as a profession very helpful. Some would think blogging might be an easy job since you can do it from home and make your own hours. It appears to me that you have to be very self-motivated, have something interesting to say, be informed about your topic, be willing to take criticism, and to commit much time to the process. If you love the topic, which I could tell Lori does, it makes the job easier and your blogs will come across as sincere.
I enjoyed hearing that some have been very successful at blogging and can make a good living at it. Although it was very clear that not everyone can support themselves with blogging. Finding sponsors that you believe in and will support you for any length of time seems difficult. Obviously it is important to be very selective in what products or services you represent.
Thanks for the great information!
