Nothing Wrong With Making A Blog Pay



M
any bloggers get to a point with their projects as to whether to continue to freely "donate" their time and talents to their Net page or to try to turn reader hits into a few ad dollars.


I absolutely have nothing against a blogger trying to pay a few bills with their blog page- with a condition:

The advertisement should be subdued- no audio-video takeover of your browser.

I'm thinking of hoisting a few ads myself- but these will be local businesses for the most part and they will be for products and/or services I use or endorse.

There is nothing wrong with getting a monetary return on your investments- even if it's just time and typing.

Don't expect much however- if that return comes at a cost of content- propriety and ultimately- readership.
