Passion is needed when you are blogging, definitely.
If you are blogging with no passion I don’t think you will be able to write anything good, because if you blog with passion you will be so much more likely to produce good content because you like what you write about and you know something about it.
And if you are passionate about your topic, you would have no problem researching about your topic, because you are probably already doing that.
If you are passionate then you will also be more willing to blog for longer time with no money. You like what you write about thus will you love to write about it, share you knowledge with others.
Lots of people starts blogs and are hoping to earn lots of money in no time and they really doesn’t care whether they like what they write about. I think that is a totally irrational way to start a blog. If you are passionate about this topic you will have much better odds to succeed.
You should not start a blog because you want to make money, it could be one of your main goals, but not the main purpose of why you blog. If you have chosen to start a blog you should be passionate about the topic.
Almost everyone knows what passion is, but I think that you need to think what really describes passion. If you can describe passion you will also be able to find your passion, if you have a passion.
The World’s Coolest Red Hair‘s definition on passion: “a burning desire to succeed in what you love”
This definitely a good definition, in which I totally agree with. If that is your definition of passion, then you will know what your passion is, if you have one. I discussed this with some friends the other day.
And all those who are just blogging and don’t blog on a topic, but actually wanted to blog on a topic, don’t know their true passion. So they start blogging about blogging. They develop this passion to blogging.
It makes sense you can’t just start a blog and then blog about nothing. Then start to blog about blogging because they know how to set up a blog and that’s it. I really don’t think that is the way to find your true passion.
Passion is great for delivering blog posts every single day. Like every blogger should aim for. I think that you would be much more able to succeed with one blog where you really are focused instead of having ten different posts.
Do you see the difficulties on having 10 different blog posts in one single day? It wouldn’t be realistic. You could have 2-3 different blogs, but you should have at most 1 main blog, which you would focus 100% on whenever you need it.
If you really are passionate about your topic then you will be able to keep up with your writing and then your blog will last much longer than if you are not passionate about what you write about. It could make you money but not as much as if you were passionate.
If you don’t blog with passion, then you will not be able to keep up with the writing.

Well no, if you go to the bottom of the comments line, it says: “Other Responses to This Blog Post” and there is one trackback, which is calculated within the blog comments.
Passion is incredibly important. If you just blog for the money (as I have said thousands of times before) you will get no where! Of course that does not mean you cannot make money from your passion.
Passion is not just for blogging either, you should try to be passionate about everything you do! You will have so much more fun, and success, if you follow your passion.

@Shane Hudson, I agree with you Shane.
Things also gets a lot easier if you do things you are passionate about.
If your not passionate about the topic you blog on you will most likely lose interest or lose readers.
However, on the flip side if you are passionate you can enjoy blogging and use it as a business. Also, your readers will seek your blog out because when your passionate about your writing it really shows.
