Blogging… A New Career?

Currently I am using Blogging as my main income source. It is however by no means a large income.

My Current Stats:
Freelance Blogging: $1,377 per month
ClickForNick.com: $7.50 per month
TheLifeInGermany: $7.50 per month

This income may sound sufficient, but please read the pros and cons of blogging before deciding to go in this direction.

Positive Aspects of Blogging
1. Creativity: The chance to be creative and write about what you see fit
2. Flexibility: The ability to write when you want. Write a lot one day, little the next
3. Freedom: Work from anywhere, work even while on vacation

Negative Aspects of Blogging
1. Insecurity: Working for someone else means that they could cancel your contract at any time
2. Income Level: Blogging is hard work. There are only a handful of people who make 6 figure incomes from Blogging. The rest of the bloggers out there are lucky to get past $1000 per month
3. Taxes: Filling out taxes for blogging can be rather difficult, this requires full records of all your freelance work
4. Insurance: There is no health care coverage included with blogging. This has to be taken care of yourself.
