Comments on: Why Do You Blog? http://ritasdigest.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/why-do-you-blog/ My World, My Opinion... Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:14:55 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Lulu http://ritasdigest.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/why-do-you-blog/#comment-6 Lulu Mon, 16 Jul 2007 15:05:17 +0000 http://bloggrrl.com/blog141/2007/06/19/why-do-you-blog/#comment-6 I started to blog because I was bored and needed something to keep me engaged during the day. I then discovered that you could monetize your blog so my focus has shifted a bit too. I would like to be able to make enough money from my blog to have a sustainable income so that I do not have to work at a regular job as much. I am going into teaching Special Education and I had some experience with a child with autism so that little bit of insight into your life was nice.

I also want to earn money to put towards my wedding, my son's surgery and my debt. Sooo much to blog and earn, sooo little time, but I believe it can be done!!! I am blogging because I love writing.

And I'm not witty in writing, although I am in real life. Weird. I REALLY hope this works for you; I have been reading you a long time, so I know all about Austin and all that other crap.

I thought for a while about being a teacher, I still might find myself drawn towards it someday, we'll see. I don't think I'm ready to make money from my blog yet, but it's definitely an idea I've been tossing around lately. I'm trying to focus more on refining and expanding my writing skills, so that I can try to get some freelance gigs, and maybe something bigger down the road.

I will blatantly seek clicks by having Google Adsense on my site, and will display books through the Amazon affiliate program that I think you might be interested in. After all, I want to make money. There’s another one! Affiliate. An affiliate program is an agreement that you make with a company to put their ads on your site in exchange for a (usually small) percentage of what the company makes from the purchase that originated from your site. However, I promise you that I will be nice. Like I mentioned in a previous article, community is important to me. That means that I will happily let you leave comments for links by enabling DoFollow in the comments once I figure it out. And once I figure out that little mystery, I’ll be glad to share it with you so that you can do the same. Then I will visit your blog and leave comments even if I secretly think you are the devil’s spawn. Oh, and I know it was probably annoying that I linked to a previous post when I only have two previous posts at this point. I figure the Google spiders will like it better that way, though.
