Here are some questions that I frequently get asked when people find out I have a blog.
What is your blog about?
I always say it is a blog about nothing. Seinfeld got away with it, so can I.
How did you start your blog?
Truth be told I didn't start my blog. My friend Kerstin bugged me about doing a blog for months (I was too busy doing Myspace). Finally she didn't bug me anymore, and just did it for me...and yes I am thanking her now for that.
My blog soon became my sanity. Paul and I were "falling apart", and had completely different priorities. We never had fights, we just didn't talk at all. We just were roommates for a long time. It was my blog who kept me company while we were in this funk. I almost had my blog for a year before Paul even read a thing that I had written on the www for everyone to read.
How did I get the idea to make money?
I have another friend to thank for this...Vanessa! Vanessa runs three very successful blogs http://www.inevergrewup.net/ , http://www.utahsnaturalkids.com/, and the third we will talk about in a minute. =)
I went to my very first Art Days that Vanessa puts on through her blog, and got to meet her for the first time. She approached me with the idea of making money through my blog, I was clueless. I couldn't believe that people were actually making money doing something that I loved to do. Vanessa took me under her wing, and was my mentor...and still is. She invited me to my first blogger get-together, and believed in me. She believed that I could make money, and gave me confidence.
How do you make money?
This is the question I am getting more frequently. This is the hardest question to answer, because there is SO many ways to make money. I am still learning. That is where Vanessa's other blog comes in http://www.momsmakemoneyblogging.com/. She is giving out all her secrets and tips in videos, audio, and e-mails...in a 7 month course. I signed up, and I am so excited to learn more. She is an inspiring Mom blogger, and someone that I really look up to. There have been multiple times I have wanted to give up, and Vanessa has this way of lifting you up. After watching the first video I already felt rejuvenated, and ready to work hard again!
Thank you Vanessa for being my friend, my blog mentor, playdate pal, and just plain awesome...I {heart} you!
Oh, and Did you have any other questions for me?
I am pretty much an open book. {wink}

yea, since you're an open book - do you make much?
The great thing about blogging is you get back exactly what you put in to it. If I work really, really hard one week...the rewards are greater, and if I take a lil time off...it shows too!
For me I have to look at my blog as a business. It is something I adore doing, I love my readers, I love the comments people leave, and I love leaving comments on other people blog...but it is a business when you make money from it.
Wow that's great! I've been meaning to ask you how you make money off your blog. I want to know your secrets. :)
your blog makes me happy! money or not. I love it
