Hello Every body out there. I am little confused about my online carrier. As I am totally new to this field from past month i just get to knew this that online making money having 3 main heads blogging,free lancing and online services providing. For free lancing I have to learn so many skills like SEO,Web designing and so on. Well in blogging i have made a blog and doing continually unique contents. I am also learning different skills in short i am confuse about time management and choosing one from both freelancing and blogging.

First of all, do not limit yourself to the infinite possibilities that is out there to make money. It is not just the three (Blogging / Freelancing/ Services), there are a lot of other methods to make money.

Secondly, you should try to learn before trying to make money out of it. For example, learning Photoshop / Development / SEO would be essential. (By learning, i mean thorough learning. Half knowledge will not help you for a "online career".

Blogging, is a passion driven niche. You blog only if you have enough time and passion towards the niche you're blogging on.
Lets say, you are an expert in cooking, you can blog delicious recipes and tips. (Remember, unique content is the key. Copied content is useless). You should also take into consideration that Blogging will take a lot of time to become a stable source of income.

You can try to learn something, before choosing a "freelancing" career. Till then, keep blogging about your learning and new developments. You can also have a look at the numerous thread over here, regarding money making/blogging/freelancing.

The easiest and simple explanation is
Blogging is like writing what you love or what you desire, love or you are sexually excited about. Ie you get exited and you get fulfilled when you write that article on your own website. It can be googles own blogspot or an advanced and customizable version called wordpress it all depends as to what you want to use.

Freelancing is something totally different from blogging ie in blogging you write stuff on your own blog may it be wordpress or blogspot
but in freelancing you do this for others ie freelancing is a vast field and you can do anything on it but if you are interested in writing then in common sense you can say freelance writing is like writing the subject that your clients blog belongs to and you should only accept those jobs in which you are interested ie you get fullfilled when you write that particular article in a particular category and never accept the jobs that you dont desire and not experienced of.

So make it simple
Writing a blog = Writing about what you love, your desires and your fanacy on your own blog
Freelance Writing = Writing regarding the topic that i provided to you you should fullfill all the aspects of that topic in order to deliver a good written post regarding the subject to the client
 
Freelancing is a general term for getting temporary work on your own. It is not in itself a specific job, it is a group of jobs.
 
For Blogging income is very uncertain, it is more like an investment, especially if search engines are boycotting. Freelancing income is more certain, but it is very time consuming
 
Frelancing is doing work which you know better.There are sites like odesk,elance etc where you can work as a freelancer and get paid.But blogging is a more difficult.If you have writing skill you can start blogging on niche which you know better.You must have patience and you should work hard to succeed in blogging
 
If I where you I would learn a skill or improve a skill I already know, then look for oportunities to make money. You are not limited to only 3 choices there are tons of methods to make money online, you just need to choose the one you know and like. For example I used to do what I didn't like and made a shit loads of money from a specific niche, that's just me. I go where the money is.

To sum it up, you just need to master a skill and be the best at it, then you'll know what to choose to make money.
