For me blogging is all about meeting new people and showing to anyone interested the vast variety of Greek kitchen and history!

I hear you, Sara. Blogging is a ton of work, but it’s fun, too. In general, I agree with you about link parties and facebook groups, but the ones that are run by actual bloggers who are active (as opposed to VAs doing the work or someone paying their kid to drop links for them [true story]) can be extremely supportive and help make blogging worthwhile.

Great post, Sara. I agree with just about everything you wrote. My experience has been very positive in terms of the blogging community. I have found that others are happy and willing to share their knowledge and I am a huge proponent of paying it forward.

After about a year of blogging on three different platforms;(yes I moved my blog THREE times in 6 months and DONT recommend that), I will say It’s all very confusing and a LOT of work. I am determined to continue for various personal reasons; but as a part time job…I aspire to minimum wage! Long way to go to get there.

I co-host a linky party and get almost no views. Our party just went to PIN sharing. that’s better help for everyone I think. Otherwise, Just a chance to connect w other bloggers and share our stuff.

Social networking is a TON of work but also really helpful on pv and blogger info. Lots to learn and LOTS to do in this world. Why do I do it?…it’s fun, creative, expansive personally and socially. Also hoping to earn minimum wage someday Nice article about it all. Thanks!

Oh yea! I can relate to everything you said. I can’t believe the amount of time I spend at my computer getting the word out of The Chopped. But making the population aware of the necessity of eating fresh unprocessed food has been a labor of love. I learn something new every day. I’m one of those that need some one to help with SEO. Great WIRL post. I hope to contribute again soon. Thanks Sara.

Thank you for the great response. I wholeheartedly agree about linky parties with no benefit to anyone but the host. I will send you a message about sharing what it is like to be a quilter!
