Are you writing because you actually enjoy it or are you doing it to make money?
I both enjoy it and am certainly interested in the financial aspect of it as it has monetary potential
I love writing and I think this site is a great way to share information and gain valuable feedback. Now that is worth wayyyyy more than any financial gain I could possibly attain.
Both. I've always wanted to write a book but could never finish. But with hubpages, the articles are short and I can write about different topics. The monetary aspect gives me the motivation to continuously learn and grow to be a better internet writer. Passive income through writing is my ultimate goal.
Writing is a joy and a passion......making money from it was totally unexpected,,, nice but, in the end, not important at all.
I enjoy writing and HOPE to make money at it someday. I have a 'day job' and make a living at that... but writing is my dream.
I write as i enjoy doing it. Not for money. But if it comes along the way its nice. Who does not like money anyway?
But for me writing is mainly for emotional peace. So i write for my own emotional satisfaction not for money.
I do it for both mostly for the writing aspect as i always enjoyed writing and reading many different types of genres.it helps me to explore my creative imagination and get responses from people help me to write more articles.
I'm writing because I'm bored...does that fit anywhere?
Mostly for the joy and because I love to help people. But I want to make money doing it. Why? So I can do it more!
Both.. so thankful that I can write and enjoy the benefits i can gain in writing..

Just wondering?I got pointed to hubs, to try and correct someone who hates superbikes, being a superbiker myself. Actually ended up posting a couple of hubs in the process.Right now I'm finishing a three year assignment in a remote spot in the Pacific, so for once I have too much time on my hands....
