Welcome to the first Blogger’s Would You Rather. This is a new series and it will run on the first Tuesday of every month. Each month, I will ask you three blogging related would you rather questions. Leave your answers in the comments – let’s have some fun with this.
Question One
Would you rather:
A) Write a post that you are immensely proud of and have it seen by two hundred people
Or
B) Write a post that makes you cringe which goes viral
Question Two
Would you rather:
A) Write hilarious posts but never be able to discuss anything serious or important to you
Or
B) Write posts about serious world issues but never be able to write anything more light hearted
Question Three
Would you rather:
A) Make good money from your blog but feel like you’re selling out
Or
B) Make no money from your blog and be able to be true to yourself
Don’t forget to share your answers in the comments 🙂

Question 1: definitely a post I’m proud of. I didn’t start blogging to be famous so it’s ok if nothing I write ever goes viral.
2: A again! Laughter is so much more important in the world. Serious posts generally get serious (and sometimes hostile) responses…eepp!
3) B! Blogging is just a hobby for me, so it’s all good if I don’t make money from it. Just as long as I can write what I feel.
I love that you would choose a post you could be proud of!
Question One? A post I’m proud of. That one was easy.
Question Two? That’s a tougher one, but if forced to choose, I’d post humorous stuff all the time.
Question Three? I suppose it depends on how you’d define “good” money. I know I’m blogging for free and long ago learned to live with it. I knew the rules going in. But I’ve done lots of commercial writing for various clients, so I’m used to writing for money regardless of my own feelings about such projects. Therefore, “selling out” is a concept I learned to deal with long ago as well.
Same here – as a freelance writer, I write pretty much whatever the client wants. It’s going on their site so it’s their call, but I stay true to myself on my own blog
1. A: I’m concerned with qulity control, mostly because I know my family’s reading. And numbers don’t mean much to me.
2. A: I tend to avoid too many personal posts and always try to inject a lot of humor, so that’s close to where I am now.
3. B: I’m not doing this to get paid, though I’m sure I probably could.
And of course I manage to misspell “quality.” That happens when you type with one hand and your keyboard is slow…
Great answers! I think when you know family/friends are reading its more embarrassing if there’s mistakes!
Q1: Definitely something I’m proud of. I’m haunted by enough past cringy stuff, so that would just suck even more to know everyone saw it.
Q2: I’m leaning toward A because I like to make people smile.
Q3: Well, I’m currently doing B. LOL
First one A, the other two B. I’ve refused to monetize my blog even though it could really help pay the bills. I think my readers deserve an add-free oasis.
Whoops, I mean ad-free. Sorry about that. 🙂
I love that you’ve created an ad free space it’s a rare treat to visit a site with no ads!
1. Id rather write a post I was proud of, than go viral.
2. Id rather have fun with my blogging.
3. I make no real money from my blog so I think I’m doing ok at not selling out.
Great choices 🙂
I’m A A B too – seems there’s a few of us about 🙂
Yes, definitely popular choices!
A1: a post I’m proud of. I think one of the reasons I don’t publish all that much is because I only write when I feel inspired. o’ll only post something I’m happy with. If I’m unsure, then it stays firmly in my drafts.
2-B but that was tough.
3-B without a doubt! I find it really tough to write to a schedule, I write when I’m inspired, and I’m not sure a wage would inspire me to post more often. Not for the time being at least. I blog as an outlet.
#Anythinggoes
Great answers 🙂 2 was tough!
Straight A’s! First time for everything 😉
#anythinggoes
Interesting questions!
1. I’m not interested in going viral
2. I don’t do funny posts, my sense of humour is too weird. I do serious, but not really world serious, they are more personal.
3. I like to stay true to myself, that’s why I’ve been blogging so long and I’m still not a pro-blogger.
Great answers – I think my sense of humour is kind of weird too lol!
1a, I don’t think it would go viral if I didn’t think much of it. I think there’s nothing wrong with hilarious or serious posts.3b #anythinggoes
1. A
2. A
3. B
I’d hate to think something went viral for the wrong reasons but I was a little tourn with question 2. I think I mainly write lighthearted posts but can pen out a serious one when needs be.
Great idea for a series by the way #anythinggoes
Thank you 🙂 I think 2 was the hardest!
200 views would be viral for me! 🙁 I would rather be lighthearted, cover serious issues in a fun way. Money is secondary, I write for me and to support others
#anythinggoes
I chose A-A-B for sure. Blogging is about having fun in another world to me.
A-B-B for me 🙂 I always find it easier to write more serious stuff. x #AnythingGoes
I find it easier to write serious stuff too 🙂 x
Question #1 A) Write a post that you are immensely proud of…
#2 (I mixed this one) Write hilarious posts about serious world issues
#3 (Mixed it) Make money while being true to myself
