A Break-even Blog Again
A little over a month ago — during my blogging drought and literally months and months after signing up with Text Link Ads — I finally sold a couple ads (one post-specific and one on the sidebar). The irony is that I was hardly blogging at the time. Yesterday I received a PayPal payment for $7.80 in advertising revenue, which is 56% greater than the $5.00 a month that I pay A Small Orange for hosting. It not much money in the grand scheme of things, but simply being able to break-even on my blogs has served as another small motivation to keep on blogging. What are some of the small things that motivate you to blog?
My inlaws!
Ok, not just my inlaws, but all my family keeps me motivated. I love that they are able to know what is going on in our lives on an almost daily basis.
The other stuff that blogging has led me to (extra money, new friends and community, finding old high school friends) that is a bonus. Even if I didn’t have all of that, I would still do it for my family.
Yeah, I definitely agree that keeping in touch with people is a motivator. I just wish that our family members who read the blogs would leave a comment once in a while (hint, hint).
