As a freelance blogger, I often get asked if I like my job.

Randa Clay has a excellent article detailing some advantages and disadvantages of freelance blogging. I agree with all her points:

Advantages
1. Opportunities to write on different topics than your regular blog.
2. Exposure to a new audience.
3. Networking opportunities.
4. It stretches your writing muscles.
5. Cross posting opportunities.

Disadvantages
1. High expectations.
2. Impact on others if you fail to produce.
3. Regular deadlines.
4. It takes time.
