Getting Paid

Apparently I am not the only person who would like to get paid to write a blog. This article on CNN.com shows us that. I'm just curious why it is such a bad thing to get paid for doing what you love? If you love creative writing, it's an outlet for you and you can entertain the masses you should be paid. I think it is bad if anyone endorses a product that they do not believe in, but are these women doing that? If I write about how much I love playing my PS3 is it any less true if the system was free (it was not free by the way, it was like $400)? I love my 50 inch flat screen tv and I would honestly love it more if I had been able to get it for free. I think if mothers are flocking to a particular website, then businesses would be missing out on a huge opportunity if they do not focus their advertising to this demographic. I love to write because it's a break from my real job, but just give me the opportunity and I will quit my job right now to stay at home with my family. I'd love to take my laptop on a trip with me and type about how much I love the trip (are you listening Mickey? Give me a free trip Mr. Mouse and I will talk about it all day, I'll even make a twitter account just so I can tell everyone that I'm still having a great time). I really think it's cool that people do what they love, whether they get paid or not.
