Am I living my dream jobs? One of them, but only after realizing that my ideals for my dream jobs were obtained:
- Working at my own pace & hours
- A very decent income
- Few hours of work
- Not working for a client’s specifications: creative freedom
What is it? Being a blog theme designer! It’s new and pretty cool (I won’t spill my methods or “secrets”) but essentially as a blog theme designer it takes 30 min - 1 hr to produce a blog theme. The themes are released for people to use for free, which is really rewarding when I see people using my designs on their blogs or sending me emails regarding the themes they’ve used. “Magic happens” (which I won’t say how :p ). But this gig allows me to produce 10 blogs in a day (within 10 hours) when I do decide to work, this then produces $1k in income! Of course clients cannot afford to purchase so many of them but an average of 3 - 4k a month from just blog designing part-time is indeed decent, fun and rewarding.
ONE CON: This market could fall one day (I would guess in a year or less) so there is really no stability

It is a market trend but blogging is not a trend, it’s been progressing for quite some time
there’s a lengthy explanation that I don’t feel like going into lol.
PETER, kudos your blog is still alive, it’s been almost a year now?

my point is, what happens when something new comes along. maybe it wont be a form of journal keeping on the internet, but what if this new thing becomes so popular, or so in demand, or such a crisis, that we won’t ever think of blogging again?
just a point
but still. i wish i made some money.

The three constants of the internet
Email, porn, and crappy personal websites. Even if the blogosphere collapses and dies, website designers will always be needed.
Whatever, it’s a lot more money then I make
