Easy Money
So, today I was reading Dooce.com - And she says, that money she earns from her blog FEEDS her family. A family which is pretty much comparable to mine (one mama, one toddler, and an unemployed daddy). The money she earns from the advertising on her blog SUSTAINS them. Pays their house note...and everything! No one has a day job in her family. Not even the dog. They can focus on being parents all day long! Abso-freaking-amazing!
I have made 34 cents with the ads on my site. 34 cents. NO ONE clicks on my ads... Ever. And, in all truth - half of my visitors are searching for Kenzie Clothing and accidentally find my blog. There's EVEN usually an advertisement for Kenzie brand clothes right on the left hand side. No clicks. No money for me and my blog-abilities.
Guess I need to talk about poop (or lack there of), curse (more) profanely, and throw all crafty crap right out the window, eh? Will that bring in some dollars?
P.S. and my 34 cents doesn't get paid out until the account reaches a minimum of $100. I may see that a few years from now.

I think I'd be extremely stressed if my family's welfare depended on my blog. At least we don't have that worry, we can scribble what we like, and I like what you write, it's refreshing and honest : )
Yeah, but have you seen how her blog has changed over the last year. All it is are ads now. I read it very rarely now.
My husband was out of work for about 18 months. I understand.
