Question Why not now?

I would not think of myself as a part time blogger, even if I had a fulltime job. I would treat my blogging as it were my real job and my other job as the part time one, even if I spend more time at my "paying" job. I would make the mental shift from "my current profession" to professional blogger. If you start treating your blogging like it were your fulltime career, it will eventually be your fulltime career.

And blogging is just a job title, it's not what you really do. I wouldn't say I'm a blogger but I uplift and inspire people. And I do this through blogging and other methods. Because what happens if blogging becomes unpopular? Will you stop blogging because there isn't any more money to be made in it? Will you stop following your passion?

I would focus on the message and not the medium. You can't practice your message/purpose with a part time mentality. It's who you are all the time. And if you have a fulltime "part-time" job, do the best you can and soon you'll leave it behind. I would first make the mental shift that your blogging isn't part-time, even if you spend less time blogging than working at your "other" job.

Good luck with everything
