Blogging and Getting Paid…

Okay so you may have noticed that I do write posts for Social Spark, more so as of lately. They pay well and I promise you that I do only choose post topics that are relevant to my readers or ones that I am myself interested in. I did not initially get into blogging to make money, but I figure with all the time I put into it, I would love to show something for it. By bringing in some income, I feel like I am contributing to my family. It drives me crazy that when I buy myself new clothes or lunch or whatever, that I am using money my husband made. I know that his money is mine since were married, but before my boys I was a workaholic! Then after my sons were born, I of course take the best care of them but I needed something for me.

I thought of getting a part time job but with my husband in graduate school and being pregnant again so quickly with my second child, I have just never had time. Blogging is something I can do whenever and wherever and since I have always been a computer addict, it suits me perfectly!

Please don’t take any offense or think I am only in this for the money, as I am not! Ads, sponsors, paid posts, and links are just a small benefit and even though they are not even close to making me a millionaire (they actually don’t even cover my Internet costs, but I would have Internet anyways), I couldn’t imagine live without my blog and all the others I have grown to love!

If you have a blog, what do you think? If you are not a blogger, does anything on my site bother you?
