I make sure that I meet friends more often in the evenings because I have more time then than before. And, as I said earlier, I will learn another language and probably do some other stuff as well ;) Cypher no I’m not married – yet – and having a woman in house all the time can be a great distraction, it would surely hurt my business :P

I just like the idea of having a more flexible day to do the things that I want to do, and to do my 'work' when it suits me. The working alone bit does worry me as well, as it can be boring sitting at home in front of a PC day after day alone. Have you considered going to an internet cafe a few days a week?

So you are not alone at home. :D But anyway, good luck!

You're making a compelling argument for not compartmentalizing the blogging activity and your regular life. Just make sure you won't end up without a regular life... (Though it sounds like that's less of a risk now than it was before, with the two jobs in parallel.) Glad it’s working out for you!

And it was the right decision, Germany is still in the middle ages when it comes to blogging, and professional blogging.

Honestly even through I discovered your blog recently I have to say that reading it is a pleasure and I am able to learn many things out of your blog. I guess being a pro blogger is dream job for me as well -but so far I am blogging on mine more or less for pleasure and as a hobby - for the time being I am satisfied enough with the return - which is more of psychological satisfaction and friendship .
