    Is your directory earning you a living or is it just a hobby?

    Hobby. But I am glad to give some earnings to families back in my home country. Also some of remaining are enough to pay the marketing, promotion and hosting and whatever expenses there are. Its fun and I think this will be more exciting when I retire from offline work which is in a few years.

    Retirement income and some savings in my home country would be enough.

    Right now it is somewhere in between because I do have several other sites that make me money. But I do make my living online.

    Well, its kinds in between.

    My hobby is my Wallpaper site.
    With my Best Web Directory I stepped into a professional internet life ;)

    But its not my profession atm. I love to spend time online and always trying to improve it.

    I am not sure about the exact answer.
    What I want is to give the money from my regular Job to my family and live-off myself from online (Petrol for my motorbike and me:p) and also other expenses that I want just for myself which otherwise I would have thought twice before spending. :D

    Its more like a timepass for me , better than doing something destructive.
    My hobby would be to make templates for directories as it involves learning process which i like :). And if hobby pays you thats wonderful right ?

    And I thought that the reason to open a directory was for the fast cars and the hot babes...
